A new study has revealed that Leeds United are the third cheapest team to watch in the Premier League this season.
Research conducted by kingcasinobonus.uk analysed the cost of tickets, merchandise, parking and food and drink at all the Premier League football clubs.
These factors were then used to find out which team is the most expensive and which is the cheapest team in the Premier League to watch.
And the results are very interesting, with Nottingham Forest coming in first place, closely followed by Bournemouth, with Leeds United taking the third podium.
Although Leeds tickets are a similar price to Bournemouth, what pulled us down in the rankings is the price of our pints.
Pints in the stadium come in at £5 a pop which makes it one of the pricier pints in the top 10 list.

A Leeds United’s home shirt will set fans back £60 from their club shop, however that is still slightly below the league average which is £62.57, meaning they rank highly in the list of the cheapest teams.
Leeds came out with a cost index of 28.82, whereas Bournemouth had 26.68 and Nottingham Forest 26.20.
The full list of clubs and their rankings is as follows:
1. Nottingham Forest - 26.20
2. Bournemouth - 26.68
3. Leeds United - 28.82
4. Crystal Palace - 29.07
5. Liverpool - 29.82
6. Wolverhampton Wanderers - 29.88
7. Brentford - 29.97
8. Everton - 30.03
9. Newcastle - 31.02
10. Fulham - 31.51
A spokesperson for kingcasinobonus.uk commented: “Football has always been for the fans, unfortunately, many have begun to be priced out of following their club. With the cost-of-living crisis ongoing, it's likely that more and more fans will struggle to afford the increasing prices of watching their team.
“There is a lot of money flowing through English football and at the heart of that is the fans. Without fans there is no football, so it's refreshing to see that even in the top flight of football that some teams are still attempting to provide affordable football experiences for their fans."
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
Sheffield amongst nine areas to be long listed for UK City of Culture 2029
Clementine Hall
It's big news for Sheffield as the city has officially been long listed to become the UK City of Culture in 2029.
It’s one of just nine places across the country to make the cut, alongside the likes of Blackpool, Portsmouth and Wrexham.
Winning the title could bring huge investment to Sheffield, thousands of visitors, and a massive spotlight on everything that makes our city special - and let’s be honest, Sheffield’s got plenty to shout about.
From music and film to art and grassroots creativity, culture runs right through this city, and it would be a huge achievement to receive this title.
So, what happens now? Each arena will now receive £60,000 to develop a full application with the aim to build a vibrant cultural programme by 2028.
The nine confirmed long listed locations are: Blackpool, Inverness-Highland, Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Milton Keynes, Portsmouth, Sheffield, Swindon and Wrexham.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said: "For far too long, opportunity has not been shared equally across the country. The UK City of Culture and new UK Town of Culture competitions recognise the enormous contributions made by communities all over the UK who are all part of the story of who we are as a nation.
"I look forward to seeing what the nine long listed places have in store as they progress in the competition. I also urge any towns thinking about entering the UK Town of Culture competition to seize this opportunity and get involved. It’s a chance to show the country what makes them unique and shine a spotlight on their cultural offer, enriching the lives of local people."
Go on Sheffield, we're rooting for you big time. We can't think of a city more worthy.
