A good matchday experience nowadays isn't just about the result, or the atmosphere. For many it includes the food and drink on offer at the stadium.

X account Footy Scran has skyrocketed in followers and impressions in recent years, with fans salivating at some of the dishes served around the country.

Gone are the days of making the choice between a meat pie and a tray of chips, now you'll likely have an array of options to choose from.

Football FanCast has taken a look at some of the best 'Footy Scran' served at Premier League stadiums, ranked on value for money.

It is important to note that some of the following dishes are served just outside of the ground. Every food item will be pictured below the text.

Without further ado, here are our rankings…

18 Emirates Stadium – Arsenal

Hot dog – £8

The North Londoners certainly serve a tasty-looking hotdog, although some hypercynics have critiqued the pool of cheese that dresses over much of it.

From a price point, £8 is pretty steep and you wouldn't be too hard-pressed to find a cheaper, more substantial dish elsewhere at the other Premier League grounds.

So for that reason, we've ranked it bottom.

17 Amex Stadium – Brighton and Hove Albion

Fish & chips with mushy peas – £11

Fish and chips are of course a British delicacy and who doesn't love a side of mushy peas? Whilst there are no complaints from a presentation standpoint, the £11 it'll set you back is pretty costly.

The Seagulls, quite controversially, don't sell chips inside the stadium so you'll have to locate the van situated just outside the Amex.

So rather than a half-time meal, fans will have to leave themselves time to queue at the food truck pre-match, which cynics will probably knock.

Anyhow, it looks well worth the wait…

16 Villa Park – Aston Villa

Buffalo chicken & chips – £11

Whilst £11 is costly, in fairness to the Villa Park chefs, they've been generous with the portion sizes and it looks absolutely delicious.

Buffalo sauce has become a hugely popular condiment in this country of late, particularly with fried chicken, so the West Midlanders appear as though they're on to a winner, here.

Interestingly, Footy Scran ran a poll under their initial tweet, which gave their followers the option of; scran, no scran or scran but too expensive.

60.7% voted scran, 6% voted no scran and 33.4% voted scran but too expensive, which aligns with our thinking too. It's hard to rank the dish any higher due to the price.

15 Old Trafford – Manchester United

Hot dog – £6

Firstly, looking at the picture below, you're probably wondering why on earth there is an Xbox code on the side of the bun, well us too.

They're reportedly Xbox game passes, so if you are a gamer and enjoy a hot dog, perhaps you should get yourself down to Old Trafford.

Nevertheless, it's actually a pretty tasty-looking hotdog and at £6, it's a decent enough price, particularly with the bizarre but useful promo code.

14 City Ground – Nottingham Forest

Pizza dog – £7

Bare with us on this one, a pizza dog? Apparently, the City Ground serve a hotdog on a pizza…

Whilst we can't verify how it tastes, it looks palatable, but admittedly it won't be for everyone. Clearly, it's meant to be a bit of a unique quirk that entices people and for £7, you could do worse.

Footy Scran put up a poll beneath the tweet which saw 78.9% vote scran and 21.1% no scran, so it's obviously inviting for most people.

13 London Stadium – West Ham United

Pie & mash with liquor & chilli vinegar – £9

It won't be to everyone's liking, as the poll evinces, but the dish is a Cockney classic and it originates from the Docks of London.

For £9 you're getting a pretty substantial portion of mash there and a nice hearty pie, so we think the Hammers are offering decent value with this one, certainly for a football ground.

The food at stadiums will always come at a premium, so we've tried to bear that in mind with our rankings.

12 Bramall Lane – Sheffield United

Filled vegan beef & onion pie – £5

Well, Sheffield United's filled vegan beef and onion pie will definitely be controversial among meat lovers but don't knock it until you've tried it.

One X user confirmed that it's actually very tasty, so if that is the case, then you're probably getting decent value for £5, even if it is on the pricier side.

£6.60 it'll set you back for a pie and a cup of tea at Bramall Lane… could be worse.

11 Selhurst Park – Crystal Palace

Chicken burger – £6

Tell you what, Crystal Palace serve a gorgeous-looking chicken burger, that looks marvellous. If it tastes half as good as it looks, then £6 is super value.

It isn't actually served inside Selhurst Park, however, but rather at the fan zone which houses a capacity of 500 people, offering a range of different food and drink stalls.

There's also a big screen for match-goers' entertainment, so it sounds like a great spot to hang out.

Hats off to the Eagles.

10 Molineux Stadium – Wolves

Double bacon cheeseburger & chips – £10

You'll have to fork out a tenner, but it looks worth it.

Footy Scran posted a picture of Molineux's double bacon cheeseburger and chips that went viral, leaving many X users salivating.

The chips, in particular, received high praise, with one person commenting: "I’d pay £10 just for those chips. Unreal."

It is pretty costly but you'll be hard-pressed to find a better-looking bit of scran around the Premier League.

9 Stamford Bridge – Chelsea

Chicken strips & waffle fries with chilli mayo – £9.95

Just under a tenner for Chelsea's delicious-looking chicken strips and waffle fries with chilli mayo.

Again, it is rather pricey but it looks flavoursome, so we reckon you're getting decent value for money, particularly in the affluent area of West London.

82.6% voted for scran on the post's poll, which is why we've ranked it just ahead of Wolves' cheeseburger, which had a few harsh critics taking aim at the mayonnaise.
