Fans have slammed Chelsea for their overspending and the high prices they charge for food on match day.

An item sold at Stamford Bridge has made supporters blood boil.

The masala potatoes were priced at £7.50.

The lacklustre portion of food was described as “a potato with sprinkled spices” by one disgruntled match day goer.

An image shows a few slices that have been baked in masala spices and served in a brown cardboard tray.

The dish was bought by a supporter on 11 August during an underwhelming 1-1 draw against Inter Milan in pre-season.

Since Todd Boehly and the Clearlake Capital group took over Chelsea in 2022 they have spent over £1 billion, as reported by transfermarkt.co.uk in Need To Know.

Their big spending has been a subject of frustration for fans who have now started accusing the owners of charging over the odds for food to fund their expenses.

New manager Enzo Maresca will be hoping to start the season off well to keep frustrated foodie fans off his back.

One stated: “£7.50 for a potato with sprinkled spices, most expensive bag of crisps ever.”

Another added: “£7.50 for basically one potato, sliced and with a spice rub on it – nah.”

One other said: “£7.50 for potatoes with curry powder on them.”

Another stated: “£7.50 potato slices equals unlimited signings for the first team.”
