I tried to keep a total of spending last season and forgot to do it after Notts County away and by that point it was close to £700. Probably a bit less this year as I have a different job and can't get away as often (lucky me, eh?) but it'll still be close to £1000 over the course of a season I'd imagine. That's probably £12,000 since I started the current stint of being a season ticket holder 12 years ago. I assume my cheque for my 10% dividend will arrive any day soon?

Red diesel is £1 a litre, my boat uses just under a gallon an hour cruising the Great Ouse.  Therefore for the price of a home game I get to relax for an afternoon, do a spot of fishing and have a decent pint.  So in answer to the OP's question, absolutely nothing, the combination of Fenty and Slade just isn't worth a single penny of my cash.


Totally agree with you there.. be carefull tho .. i do the same most of the time now. but on the broads , wroxham etc. and have been called or should i say. had the mick taken for doing it insted of going to the home games all the time

That seems high seeing as though it was early September when we played at Meadow Lane last season...maybe you'd included STs in that amount though?

Yes includes season tickets and a fair amount of merchandise because I was daft enough to think that we might make a decent fist of pushing for a second promotion so my money would be put to good use. Turns out it was spent on appointing two managers and back room staff and a bonus for the majority shareholder. You live and you learn.

I don't dare think it must run into four figures have certainly sacrificed family events and taken time off work without pay to attend games.

I get ridiculled by people as being a fool but find it very hard not to go but this season as severly tested my resolve.

I suspect I am not alone in that respect

You sure do LH...

By the way it wasn't me not believing you about Notts County Away... your total spend might have been for more than one ST and I'd not even considered merchandise such as new shirts

It sure does make you think when you tot it all up how much each of us contributes to the coffers

I think the relevant question is ‘How much will you be spending on future football.

My answer is ‘a lot less than last season’. I feel I’m not the only one !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I never counted what I spent. Whatever it was was worth it.  Now, it has all changed . My planned spend is nothing, the only thing that will get me back is a protest against the board. Thank you Fenty and Slade.

PS. This is my own decision and I am not in any way advocating that people copy my actions.
