Arsenal, Morecambe FC and the rising price of pies

A BBC survey into the price of football has, unsurprisingly, got people talking. Of course, they're mentioning the extortionate price of tickets (winner: Arsenal, £100 for a matchday ticket), but the real talking point has proved to be the price of pies. To be specific, it is the price of an Arsenal pie at a whopping £4. Rumours that they're made from focaccia have been quashed, but it still raises the question: how good are they? And, more specifically, are they better than Morecambe FC's? The answer is no, as any visitor to that team's Globe Arena will attest. In June, the club's chicken, ham and leek pie (chef Graham Aimson pictured) won the title of supreme champion at the British Pie awards. And all for £2.50. That's one footie accolade the Gunners won't be winning.
