Cost of an adult season ticket: £300
Cost of adult away tickets: roughly £500 for every game
Cost of BT Sport/Sky Sports: roughly £50 per month, so £600 per year
So you have to pretty much go to every game to spend as much as you would on your TV subscriptions if you have them.
A lot of people will be handing more to the Premier League than they will to their own team to watch games
Yet which matters more?

Calculating the financial cost is not something that you want to do. Or the misery and frustration.

Just like to add that I don't get much change out of a tenner for the pint before the game and at half time, then there's the bus fare.
It all adds up but it's my choice so fair enough.

Have done 7 away matches and 2 home matches this season and I reckon all in with beers, trains and food I'm currently clocking in around £700 on Town matches so far. The only away match that has been more expensive than the 2 home matches I've been to has been Torquay, although I did a dry November so that brought the cost of the Solihull down which might have been more than a home match otherwise as I took the afternoon off. I reckon I'll probably go to a similar amount in the second half of the season so looking like it'll be around £1500 for a full season of being an exiled Town fan who goes to more away matches than home.
Non-Town football costs are £20 a month on a subscription to a service that allows you to pick and choose 5 a side matches in London. Got my Dad's BT Sport login so that's free and I split a NowTV Sky Sports pass with 3 other people at £10 each so non-Town footy costs are very low in comparison.

As I'm an overseas exile not much. I got the ifollow packages when we were in league 2 and can't understand why BT Sport don't want the revenue. There must be fans from all over the world that follow teams in the NL.
While I am here I follow Ho Chi Minh City. Went to a friendly about an hour's drive away. Free to get in. Petrol and snacks - three and half quid.
I usually get a season ticket but last year the season was cancelled . No refunds but only about 17 quid.
I have been known to use white privilege to get in for nowt.

To me it costs a lot more in grief and heartache then monetary.

She probably considers it a price worth paying for a peaceful Saturday. |

This season probably around £150.
2 home games and a train down to Torquay away. Admittedly I did make a day of it in Torquay arrived before 10am and left on the last train back to Taunton
(I'm in Somerset)

I work out of town a lot so didn't make sense to buy a season ticket for me. I got an 1878 membership instead, which has more than paid for itself already. I've been to 7 home games (1 was free) and have saved a fair chunk in the club shop with the 10% discount. Not been to any away games yet this season, but that's probably going to change soon as I am moving to Bristol in a few weeks.

No BT sport or Sky sub.
Notts will be my first away game admittedly but do have a season ticket this year and when you add travel from and back to Scunny for each game plus a programme to take home for the little'n that equates to around £40 a game. Add then maybe a couple non alcoholic beers (extortionate) and something to eat at some point at around 15 quid all together it costs me probably £55 per home game.
As a student that pretty much takes all my 'pocket money'. Next year will be particularly more tight as the Mrs will be travelling to Lincoln to do her masters twice a week. Not quite sure how I'm gonna justify another ST considering that but I can live in hope!

Anybody born to support the mariners in the last 20 years must have done something terrible in another life, we must all be sinners That is cruel you deserve better, reminds me of the joke about the guy who buys shoes a size too small as his only pleasure in life is taking them off. Seriously, huge respect for your patience, I cannot face away games at the moment. For me a season ticket and misc sutff at the ground. Not a penny on SKY or BT sport |

Over Christmas I was bored as I usually am so sat and worked it out, but not per game, I worked it out how much I’d spent since my first season ticket.
I wish I’d not bothered…was well in to 5 figures and then I looked at the amount of games I’d been too and then how many were memorable and it was less than a hundred…
Then again, I bought a season ticket for a season where nobody was allowed in…may be there’s something wrong with us all.
I did work out that I managed to stay overnight at Gatwick, fly to verona, spend the day on thr lash, go to the play off final, hotel, food and then flight home and it was still cheaper than one of the play off weekends at Wembley…
