Football club's halftime 'scran' goes viral as Piers Morgan's son divides opinion

A Merseyside football club's halftime food offering has gone viral on Twitter this week.

@FootyScran shares pictures of food available at different football grounds across the world, opening up a debate as to which ground offers the best halftime filling.

This week has seen Southport FC take centre stage and Piers Morgan's son weighed in on the debate.

The dirty fries offered at Southport became a contentious topic despite many agreeing the food was in fact a "scran".

The post, tweeted out on Wednesday, February 16, said: "Dirty fries - fries, bashed burger, sausage, onions and cheese at Southport FC (@southport_fc @lourdes_deli)."

Underneath, a poll was created giving people the option to vote scran or no scran. Much to the delight of Southport foodies, the dirty fries had a landslide victory with 79.4% of 18,500 people voting in favour of the fries.

This sparked fury amongst the @FootyScran faithful, one of which being Spencer Morgan, son of broadcaster Piers Morgan.

Spencer Morgan replied in a quote tweet saying: "That’s 100% come straight out of a bin.

"And everyone saying how good it looks.

"Weird country this."

Following his tweet, he came under fire for what appeared to be quite a controversial opinion.

@DaveGOwen replied: "I'm sure @southport_fc @lourdes_deli are really happy with your well thought out and qualified criticism."

@LBH1278 said: "That looks amazing 10/10."
