Price of Football 2017: Welsh Premier League still cheapest in men's game

Swansea City fans have not had any ticket price increases in the Premier League this season

Season ticket prices in the Welsh Premier League have risen for the 2017-18 season, but it remains the cheapest league in Britain to watch men's football.

The BBC's Price of Football study requested information from 232 clubs across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as Europe.

For the third consecutive year, the research indicates WPL fans are paying the least to watch their teams.

However, the average cost of the cheapest season ticket in the league has risen by more than 10%.

Away fans will also pay, on average, almost 10% more for the cheapest matchday ticket.
