May 9, 201214 yr As a very conservative estimate,I've spent in the region of ?30,000 watching them over the years. Had some great times,but was it was worth it ? I think so, because you would just have that ?30,000 left over in your bank account, you would of spent it on some other shit.
May 9, 201214 yr Author i forgot to take into account the money i put into shares in the club in 97/98 when they were valued at 67p a share. now they are worthless..............they do say don't invest in one of your hobbies/interests,i certainly learned my lesson there
May 9, 201214 yr Author ?30k ????..............eye, that's just on the 'refreshments' !!!! double that pal and it's nearer the mark
May 9, 201214 yr couldnt possibly put a figure on it... the euro trips will have bumped it up significantly! drive to a lot of home games nowadays...and jesus christ i didnt reaslie how much i spent on ale on a matchday till i started! did two ever present seasons when i was 17-20 and for the life of me havnt a clue how i afforded it!....
May 9, 201214 yr A bloody fortune. I was probably around 16 when I had to start buying my own season ticket so thats 22 years of season tickets now, european away days, beer, trains, wembley trips. Ouch, its starting to hurt even thinking about it - I could almost retire if I hadn't been going. Don't begrudge a penny of it though
May 9, 201214 yr i think southampton was the most expensive trip did you get the pm pal ? i did...chez mon.xx
May 9, 201214 yr Living in south Wales it nearly ?100 per home game... Most of which is petrol average of 10 home games a season.. No regrets!!
May 9, 201214 yr Once did 6 seasons in a row, every game home and away ! Just once? What a shit fan you are.
May 9, 201214 yr Your talking ?30 minimum per game on booze and train fare for home games over 22 games (average per season) over 10 seasons thats ?6600 Then travel to away games / euro trips x 4 / wembley and then cost of tickets id say knocking on another ?6k. Fuck me I sound like malcolm!
May 9, 201214 yr Wembley/Cardiff alone has cost a fortune. 1986, 89, 91, 95 (twice), 99, 2000, 01, 04 and 11. Have I missed any?
May 9, 201214 yr Somebody do me a spreadsheet converting past years' money into current ?'s value, and I'll have a go. Or maybe not. Euro trips (incl Pisa) about ?4,000 for starters. Wembley/Cardiff trips. Wasted money on shares. 31 years off travelling up from London (nowhere near every game in the 80s - shit fan). Seeing the Whites on every league ground at least once. Decades of season tickets. Nope - reckoning up would give me a heart attack.
May 9, 201214 yr cost me my marraige Joking aside I echo that although not marriages, 3 long term girlfriends. Most memorable was the play off final in 2001, when had to make her wait until after the final before we could go on holiday. She wanted 2 weeks which covered the final but I managed to persuade her 10 days and a ticket for the final. Anyway went on holiday after the bank holiday Monday and when we got back she said its over because I chose Boton even when she was sobbing about wanting to go for two weeks. I have not learnt from that episode.

I have not learnt from that episode. You are always going away during the season - no matter how many times we tell you !! Anyway, spent a bloody small fortune - but hey whats money for ? and you would have only wasted it on something else !!
