Commonwealth Games 2022: Fans slam cost of 'ghostly' looking sausage and chips

The 2022 Commonwealth Games got underway this week with fans beginning to pour into stadiums and arenas to witness the spectacular sport on offer.

However on Friday night, it wasn’t just the sports stars that were making people talk.

On a night where some of the best swimmers in the world took to the lanes of the pool, people were quick to turn their attention to the food prices.

There has been a continuous trend of meals at such events not matching up to the amount of money that fans are parting with, but one spectator’s social media post sent people into a frenzy.

Matthew (The Pieman) Williams took to Twitter to share an image of a mini cardboard plate that fit into one hand and contained a lone sausage and some ghostly-looking chips.

Alongside the image, he wrote: “Hello @FootyScran, this is the sausage and chips I had at the Sandwell Leisure Centre ahead of tonight’s swimming events at @birminghamcg22. This cost £9.80!”
