I cant help but going, finances or not.

I always think of it as a 'one night out less' if im that skint. If you get me? it was £15, i would of probably spent that on a shite t shirt i will never wear anyway. Or a take away for 2 etc.

So yeh, i cant help but go, i feel like a rag if im sat at home on my armchair knowing full well i have no excuse to not be there.

I was like that when I was younger, when I was at uni I would live on cheese on toast for a week just so I could afford to go to Maine Rd.

You could eat before you set off, or you could pop into Asda or you could go to McDonalds or you could take a packed lunch, or you could go to a chippy nearby?

Food is no real cost/excuse.

Get off your high horse, read my original post and get your facts right. I never said that food alone was.

I suppose you'd like me to set off walking from Halifax the night before with my lad to save on petrol and car park?

If needs be. Besides there are plenty of places to park without paying around the stadium.

You're not even worth the effort. I have a season ticket. as does my son, and we get to as many cup matches as I can afford. If you want to big yourself up because you can afford every single game then knock yourself out. You're clearly a legend in your own living room

If I am short on cash then I work some overtime, simple. I have no problem with any season ticket holders, I just have problems with people making silly excuses instead of admitting that they cant be arsed on a week night?

Good for you, I'm in a job where I can't work overtime, simple too. Stop insulting fellow blues and bracketing most as "armchair rags". You're better than that I hope

A lot on here are as bad as armchair rags, they dont turn up even though they could yet have the biggest opinions.

I have no problem with you, if you're a Season Ticket holder and you're doing all you can to get there then I have to give you all the respect in the world. I dont make every game, including cup games I sometimes miss 2 maybe 3 a season, but I pay for the tickets anyway (cup scheme).

I find it disgusting how empty we are on a weeknight when so many can go but cant be arsed.

Actually they might not. I weaned myself off the habit of automatically buying fast food, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who have never been to a match sober if they could help it.

A lot depends on how long your round trip is.

There will probably be some ticket news after the Blackburn game mate.
