Swansea City have backed out of a nationwide price of football survey after branding last year’s results misleading.

The BBC have carried out their fifth annual study of prices of matchday tickets, food and merchandise across football where they claim to point out which clubs are the most expensive and the cheapest to watch.

Yet Swansea were left angered last year after they claimed the results – which saw the Swans labelled the fifth most-expensive club to watch in the Premier League were “completely misleading” and based on a “totally flawed” formula.

Swansea were said to be one of the most expensive match days in the top-flight despite having the second cheapest season tickets in the 2014 study.

And with the latest results published on Wednesday, the club have decided against co-operating with the survey – the only one of 230 clubs across the UK.

A spokesman said: “We feel it is impossible survey to carry out because there are so many anomalies in the prices of match-day tickets and season tickets it cannot be an accurate reflection and so we felt it wasn’t something we wanted to be part of.

"As a club, we have fan representation at board level and if any supporters have concerns about ticket prices or the value for money they have the opportunity to come directly to us. All our ticket prices are freely available to view on the club website.’'

Swansea recently won praise for putting up to £300,000 to one side to ensure their travelling fans pay no more than £22 per away-day ticket in the Premier League. With some top-flight clubs charging more than £50 for visitors' entry, the Swans made a 'True To 22' pledge for this campaign.
