More than half the Premier League clubs have been accused of "excluding families from poorer backgrounds" after a Guardian study revealed the costs some clubs charge to be a mascot. A few of them are charging as much as £450 for children to be mascots, with West Ham United's the most expensive package at £600.
11 Premier League teams, most of whom have spent time in the Championship in the past 10 years, ask a fee for being a mascot on matchday.
Queens Park Rangers and Swansea City both charge £450 plus VAT for their packages while West Ham's prices range from £350-£600 depending on the fixture.
The packages vary between £250-400 at Tottenham, £300-400 at Leicester City, £150-425 at Crystal Palace and £330-390 at Stoke.
Burnley, West Bromwich Albion and Hull City also charge, while Newcastle United's corporate hospitality packages of £3,000-4,000 include mascot places.
Some clubs, including Spurs, QPR and Newcastle, do, however, offer a number of free mascot places through competitions and charities.
Others do not charge at all: Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Southampton and Sunderland.
