Normall away game i spend about £60-70 depends on how far. Further away means more expensive ticket and longer to drink

 

[poke]

Taxi to train station because i'm usually running late!

Train ticket

can of red bull, and sandwich

Drinks in pub

Match Ticket

Programme

Hot-dog at half time

more drinks in pub

Drinks to take home on train

Food

more drinks when back in brighton

Taxi home

(think that covers everything)

 

[cheshunt seagull]

I usually drive which limits the opportunities to drink so it is probably something like

Petrol £10-£30
Drink (1 pint) £2.50
Burger/hot dog+chips £3.00
Programme £2.50
Hot drink £1.00
+ ticket

If its in London I use my travelcard and so the travelling costs are nil but the amount spent on drink will be substantially higher

 

[Beach Hut]

Normally spend around £40 on away match days with my lad - this doesn't include travel or match tickets

 

[Kenhead]

I spend alot, i reckon about £60 - £70!!! but if i get a lift then its normally alot cheaper

 

[Sergi Gotsmanov]

£70 min.

worth every penny!

 

[Braders]

travel (either coach or train)
(about 15-30 notes)

something to eat at the stop
( about 7 notes)

I try to do most as cheaply as possible, but even those covered by my train season ticket probably rack up £20 - £30 in "incidentals" - programme, beer and food.

For the more long distance ones, I tend to take the kids and stop overnight. Even for Port Vale, when I camped for the weekend, this probably made the weekend expenses something like £100.

For Wrexham, the hotel bill alone was over £100, so the total cost was probably in the region of £250.

I guess the average away game would therefore cost me about £60 on top of the match ticket.

Yikes, I wish I hadn't worked that out! No wonder I'm always skint!

Programme

katie, don't bother buying a programme, it has practicallly nothing relevant to us and anything that is we have read a thousand times before and often it is wrong anyway. save your £2.50 for another drink.

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

The thing I love about away games is that it gets me out of the house at the weekend. Most of my non-footy mates just seem to sit around and watch telly all day.

I always feel that the fact I've been to another area of the country is worth every penny spent on travel, tickets, food & drink....fortunately for me every game is an away game as I travel from the scum of berkshire, Reading.

except the opening game of the season then which will be kind of a home game for you. (in the sense of not having to travel anyway)

 

[Trigger]

Too bloody much, but i enjoy them so much more than home games hence no season ticket for me this season, i just want to be able to afford 90% of the aways!

 

[Brighton till i die]

Ticket for Swindon. (away)...£14
pre-match beers at the bulldog....£15
2x burger king stops on motorway....£10
petrol....£30
flags/horn/etc...£15
pack of fags...£5
ticket for swindon(home).....£22
petrol......£5
2x pack of fags!!......£10
1xburger king....£5
pre-match beers.....£10




Beating that bunch of ***** with a last minute goal and penalties, then ripping the shit out of the away fans......

PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yorkie]

Petrol and drinks usually about £40-60 although it used to be in reverse for us, with away games being cheaper (not including tickets)

No i like reading them, and it helps me to remember which games i've gone too.

Also by the end of the day i'm always mullered so don't really need money for another drink!

 

[Uncle Buck]

Normally budget around the £100 mark, depending on where it is. Wigan will be expensive as Virgin Trains are involved, Leicester will be cheaper as the deals on Midland Mainline are good. Last season seemed to be getting out of hand cost wise, so hopefully this season, we will be a bit more sensible....

 

[Sitting Room Only]

Probably 50 dabs plus the ticket

And just the cost of the ticket when i drive

 

[chez]

Suppose on average it must be around £100. Obviously depends on the location because of the price of train tickets.
