Wonder how much...

Postby Beeks » Thu Nov 04, 2010 10:33 am

...We have spent following City over the years...

Was thinking about it the other day and felt a little sick...

Also...if you think about it...the average City fan these days who doesn't have a season ticket...has to pay the equivalent of buying top dollar concert tickets...or a night at the opera..EVERY TIME WE PLAY

Expensive business this football lark

God knows but I know the cost to my sanity has been even higher. Been worth every penny/major trauma though.

Bloody hell... haven't thought about it, but now you mention it, it's scary!
living down south means extra travel for home games on top of ticket price - probably balances out when city come down here but still scary..
I wish there was a way to know you are in the good old days....before you've actually left them...

A few seasons ago I calculated that I spent about £4k a season ... it's alot less for me now as I only go to about 15-20 games as opposed to all of them.

I wonder how much Kippax spends!

Would be cool to look at the demographic of an 'Average' City fan

Personally I try to get to most home games...though that has been cut down due to the fact I have a young lad now

I usually go to at least 2 away games too

£125ish Petrol for games
£5 for membership of Disabled Supporters Association
£25ish Petrol for attending supporters club meeting
Free Parking

so around £680 per season plus occasional food at night matches

An interesting and horrible question. Used to do the 600 mile round trip every match, even evening games. Out of the question now financially and work-wise. Fuck me before SKY and Internet I used to phone up those premium TEAMTALK and CLUBCALL phone lines. And we were still shite. Madness.
