Southport Football club's pre-match 'scran' shared thousands of times

A Merseyside football club has gone viral for the second time in as many months.

Southport FC has seen its pre-match "scran" be shared thousands of times thanks to a new Twitter phenomenon started by the page @FootyScran. The trend sees people taking photos of food at football matches and sharing them on Twitter.

Thanks to the popular trend on Twitter, Southport FC and their caterers, Lourdes Deli, have both seen social media fame because of their delish offerings at matches. It was just last month that the dirty fries on offer at Haig Avenue were shared thousands of times and even got Piers Morgan's son involved in a debate.

The post, uploaded by Footy Scran yesterday, has already accumulated almost 5,500 likes and more than 200 retweets. People were happy to chime in with their opinions of the burger. The burger shared, called the Lourdes burger, features beef, bacon, cheese, onions and hash browns, something fans don't get higher up the football pyramid.

Lourdes Deli shared their thoughts as well. They tweeted: "Oh s*** here we go again." Another person labelled it as "top tier scran".

Some fans were even divided on whether they wanted their team to succeed or whether they wanted to eat the burger on a matchday. They wrote: "When you want to go up, but you also want your team to go down so you can eat that once a season."

Not all people were fans of the stacked burger, with people calling for hash browns on burgers to stop "stop". They tweeted: "Hash Browns on burgers needs to stop."
