ST, Â£45 petrol each home game, average Â£30 petrol for 80% of away games I make, food and drink at games or on way to/from etc, programs.......Now I see why Mrs H prefers I spend Saturday's with her watching Soccer Saturday.

Last couple of seasons I've spent roughly Â£2000, including tickets, travel, food and drink.

This season I'm probably on that already...
I don't like to count...

Â£10 on beer and Â£3 on a programme. Away gamesare a lot more. Possibly Â£50 i spend on away games, not including train fares/petrol or ticket prices.

Home games - season ticket works out at about Â£30 a game, Â£40 on petrol, maybe Â£10 on sundries. I minimise other costs by staying overnight at my parents in West Reading. so about Â£80 a game.

Away - I'll get to about 15 aways all told this season so Â£25-40 on a ticket, Â£20-Â£40 on petrol, depending on where the game is or Â£15 if it's less than 90 minutes away on the train (This always involves the invitable wait at the cathedral of despair that is Leeds station. The only league towns I can get a direct train to from Keighley are Leeds, Bradford and Carlisle). Food, drink parking etc, about Â£30. Between Â£60 and Â£120 a game.

I long for a cup game at Bradford. Â£1.50 return on the train, 5 minute walk to the station or the car park at work if I drive and home inside 20 minutes.

Travelling as a group of three to Boro' (2 full, one concession), it was Â£63 for tickets, Â£6 for programme and coffees at the ground, Â£80 in petrol and Â£115 for two rooms in York on the way back. Throw in the money spent on a crawl round York plus all food and we topped Â£320 for the weekend...same level of spend at Newcastle, average of around Â£200 per game in the North-West or Sheffield, Â£150 for Villa, Â£120 for London games (except Chelsea - Â£160) and Â£100 for Pompey...it's got to be around Â£3700 for all the away games. I know you could get to all the away games for a lot less, but we decided to do this season - and this season alone - in some style.
