Fuel £40
Toll charge £4.20
Match ticket £50
Drinks / food £40
Overnight stay is usually with family otherwise +£80.
The biggest cost of all is the time commitment.
If it wasn't for seeing my family there's absolutely no way i'd be travelling to watch now. As is if i'm home anyway the extra money for a ticket isn't too much to bear and my family gies on so it's more time spent with them.
I was ready for stopping going just before Sean Dyche came and restored the passion/desire/fight. Feels like it's slipping again despite Kompany's own obvious work ethic.

Aye, i was contemplating until Friday night doing the West Ham game as a one dayer, but honestly, i couldn't justify the circa 300 quid, but more so risking being exhausted today for work. Nipping down the hill for my other team then back home for a late lunch watching Burnley on the telly wasnt a bad 2nd option. Damn sight cheaper too

Forking out to watch multi millionaires not giving tgeir all and play acting just doesn't appeal funnily enough.
I have a consistently better football experience at my local none league club for about £15 all in.

Season ticket £19 per game Longside Lower
Flights £60-£100 return.
Hotel £150 average for 2 nights.
Transport to and from Man, Liv, Leeds, Birmingham Airports (Have used em all for home games depending on flight price) average £50. Thank god for £2 Witch Way fare and £1 after 7pm.
Drink £80-£100.
Food £40-£60.
Taking the lower figure on each of the above a nice round £400. Cant be ars*d to make out the higher one the way the season is going as I might begin to contemplate self-harm.
