The cost of being a mascot at different Premier League clubs has been revealed, fans are all saying the same thing
Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are among the Premier League sides that do NOT charge a fee to become a club mascot, according to new findings.
All six of the so-called Premier League ‘Big Six’ don’t charge for a child mascot, despite initial findings from Football Stadium.co.uk suggesting otherwise.
Tottenham’s package for mascots, for example, includes a pre-match meet with club players, an autograph opportunity, match tickets and a replica kit.
Defending Premier League champions Manchester City follow the same non-fee mascot position much like Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and United.
