Football’s first division savers revealed
Research into football fans' saving habits has seen a building society establish its first division.
According to statistics from Britannia, some 80,000 soccer lovers have Save and Support accounts - hoardings which have advantages for both consumers and clubs.
It added that Ipswich Town supports make the most transfer into their accounts, having 18,000 subscribers, while Stoke City's faithful deposit the largest amounts.
And younger fans of Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea have proved to be better with their money than their parents, who may in turn have resorted to loans in order to avoid financial relegation.
"The fact that more than a quarter of Save and Support accounts are held by children and several clubs have more junior Save and Support accounts than adult ones is a positive sign," said managing director of member business at Britannia Tim Franklin.
The Premiership season kicks off next weekend.
