Scottish Division 1

Morton's Cappielow Stadium is the cheapest place to watch Scottish First Division football, according to 大象传媒 Sport's Price of Football study.

The total price of a programme, pie, cup of tea and cheapest adult ticket costs 拢19.

Cowdenbeath and Dumbarton both offer good value for money at 拢19.50 and 拢19.90 respectively.

At 拢23.70, Falkirk is the division's most expensive in the cheapest day out category.

Following relegation from the Scottish Premier League at the end of the 2011-12 season, Dunfermline Athleticare one of the most expensive sides to watch in Scottish First Division.

Their cheapest day out costs 拢23.30, matching that of Livingston, but it remains 40p cheaper than Falkirk.

However, if fans want to buy the best seats at Dunfermline's East End Park, they can expect a day out to cost them 拢25.30, the most expensive in the division.

Tracey Martin, marketing director at Dunfermline, said: "We set ticket prices by doing a comparison with all the clubs in the Scottish First Division, especially those of a similar size to ourselves.

"We try to make the pricing as competitive and appealing as possible, with a focus on our younger fans and families."

Relegation hit the Fife club hard, with Martin revealing it cost the club "at least 拢1m in revenue".

"We certainly feel the product on the park is there for the supporters to be entertained and this has been reflected with a small increase in match ticket sales from last season in the SPL," she said.

"We have also increased the availability of our match-day family tickets and will be introducing kids' box meals in our catering kiosks, all to try to improve our offering to young people and kids."
