tell me about it. I earn decent money as a CFO, but turn my nose up at some matches due to

cost.

maybe that is the bean counter in me, but maybe its value for moey when it costs:
£35 ticket
£25 beer/snack
Parking £10
Get to game £10
Lunch out somewhere £20
etc etc and thats £100 without taking the kids

I can get a lot more value and enjoyment elsewhere for that sort of cash when we are playing as we are. Which is a shame as I love the club, but it is certainly not a working class sport anymore.
