[Football] How Much?

[Official Old Man]

I'm a season ticket holder, travel in by Seagull Travel and have the £9 meal deal plus lottery ticket. I've no idea how much it costs per game and to be honest, I've got a few bob so don't care.
But I took my eldest Daughter to the West Ham match and ticket, coach and food (burger and soft drink) the whole lot came to near on £70 just for her. Suddenly I understand people who just cant afford to go to football anymore.
Incidentally, went to Burton v Sunderland a couple of weeks back. £52 for two of us including parking (I know, a different league).

Watched Crawley v Cambridge on Saturday, £22 for ticket, £7.50 for a pint and a pasty.

Parked 90 seconds walk away for free.

Took my brother in law, his son, and my sister’s son (ees complicated) to the Spurs game. Spent £120 on tickets alone for the three of them.

So £23ish per point won I would call that a bargain

Watched my eldest today Worthing Borough v Sidlesham Reserves

A fantastic 5-0 win for Borough, at one point there were 5 spectators and cost £2 for a cup of coffee at half-time.

And major blow up from Junior that deserved a yellow but he got away with it.

I go to more non-league matches now than league matches.
Less than £10 to get in, easy to park, normally decent priced beer and a cracking atmosphere. Oh.....and proper standing behind the goals.

£11 at Burgess Hill Town....and currently awful. On the plus side, less than 5 mins walk and chips for less than a couple of quid, and can have a pint whilst watching.

I go to Bromsgrove Sporting whenever I go back up to the midlands. Club on the rise after the previous club (Bromsgrove Rovers) were ruined by the owner.
Now a supporter owned club and regularly atttracting 800-1000 even at step 4 of the non-league pyramid.
I love being able to stand on the terrace with a pint in my hand.

Haywards Heath Town let Burgess Hill supporters in for a fiver recently when the Hill were playing elsewhere.

Who are Worthing Borough? Not a team I have heard of unless there has been a recent name change.

Play at Woodside Road, affiliated with Worthing FC

If the Albion made significant reductions in the cost of drinks and food, post-VAT would it really dent income and money for the playing budget that much? I doubt it. Well over £100m of broadcasting income swamps catering profits.

I can afford the high prices, but many others struggle financially.

As a rule now I buy us jumbo sausage and chips to eat in the car, on the way to Mill Road, along with some fizzy pop and sweets.

The 3 of us were fed and watered for less than £15 all in.

I do like the food, pies, etc and think we are well served, it's just tough to go all in at the AMEX.

I was in Denver last weekend and for their NFL fixtures it is said that they sell over $1m of beer per game! What's worse is that the majority of that is Bud Light.

Not sure our Harvey's consumption is quite that impressive but seem to recall some impressive figures for beer sales in the early days at the Amex which must help the pay the bills.

A few years back when in Toronto we watched the Blue Jays playing Baseball. £100 for a replica shirt, two hotdogs and coffees £22 !

We watched Bayern Munich playing some third division team in the cup at the Alianz Arena and thrashed them 6-0, the good news was you had to put Euros on a smart card as that was the only way to buy any food, think we saved a fortune

To be fair, $1m of beer at a stadium in the USA is like 17 beers.

Recently watched a Champions League* qualified team play. £1.35 and you could bring in your own flasks and beers (glass bottles available round the corner at 50p).

Both teams had plenty of full Internationals playing including team-mates of Premier League players.


















Some of those on show had failed to make it at 9th/10th tier in UK though.
