According to experts at Flashscore, Ipswich fans can enjoy the second cheapest pint in the league, costing only £3.50, and the second most affordable season ticket priced at £372.

The stadium’s capacity is 30,250, and 99.22% of seats were filled on average last season. Of all the reviews that mention the ‘atmosphere’, 97.1% are positive.

While Old Trafford has been ranked the best in the Prem, with the cheapest pints in the league at only £3. The stadium also has the largest capacity, with 74,310 seats; last season, the average attendance was 73,534, meaning on average the capacity was 98.2% filled.

Manchester United's cheapest season ticket costs £579, slightly below the league average (£596).

West Ham’s London Stadium is ranked as the second-best, with a score of 66.93. The stadium has a large capacity of 62,500, much more than the average capacity across the league (41,082); with an average attendance of 62,464, it has the highest percentage of seats filled at 99.94%.

West Ham sells the cheapest season ticket, costing £345. The stadium has been reviewed 15,830 times, receiving an average score of 4.6 out of five, slightly above the average of all Premier League stadiums (4.55).
