Having just read the Swindon thread about their £27 ticket price I just wondered just how much, on average, our travelling fans pay for an away day. Ticket price, programme, travelling cost (be it train, airfare, petrol, coach ) food and drink ( at the match, in the pub, service station etc.) and accommodation.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Ticket average £20
Train average £40
Food / drink average £30
Programme average £3
Scratch cards £10 (a rule if we go by train)

Varies as some trains will be double and some (ie brighton) I'd stay for the weekend. But on average I'd say easy over £90

Don't really care. If I can afford it and I am off work I will go because watching Town away is PRICELESS










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Don't get to many but enjoy it when I do.  Can't do it anymore now.

I will pay for the petrol and my granddaughters tickets as well as my own so over £100.

I kept a record of this in 21/22 and it averaged out at around £85 an away trip for me. Trains and boozing obviously drive it up a ridiculous amount. I'm off the booze now and will be driving to more games once I've bought a car this season, but I took the train to Notts away from Kent and that was £71 alone. For every cheapo away day like Woking or Orient as a South Eastern exile you're gonna be dropping top dollar for anywhere up North. I tend to draw the line at triple figures for transport and as such I won't be at Wrexham this weekend but I've had a few £90+ trains in recent seasons (Torquay first match for me after COVID, Alty same season which I didn't get to because my gf got taken to hospital and the Wrexham semi). However you do occasionally get a nice pleasant surprise as your wincing in expectation at the Trainline app...Newport for example is about an hour and a half on the train from Paddington and Solihull on a whim was £30 return bought the week before.
