The cost of watching the Blades?

[silverfox]

Having watched the Blades since I was a young lad, yes I was one once, I'm just wondering what it costs to follow the Blades home and away for a season?

If you want the full experience such as snacks, a few pints, a programme, a half time pie etc..plus the petrol or coach fare. how much do you spend? Don't forget the ticket price!

Anyone fancy adding it up this season? A running total perhaps?

I would be better someone doing it who intends to go to every game but it won't hurt by knowing a match by match cost for others!

How much for Birmingham anyone?

 

[Linz]

I wouldn't want to even start trying to add up everything I spend on the day of a game... i.e. food when wandering around!

I'll try and keep tabs on money spent inside the ground, ticket price and make a rough guess on petrol costs based on mileage at the end of the season.

Anything else would be too scary!

Well I was set back £45 for yesterday, but I didn't buy a programme after they tried to charge me £3.50. Wasn't paying that for a programme!

I think that's why we need to know!

Nah we took our own food and drinks

They still cost though don't they?

It's like saying we took our own petrol.

They will be asking £4 per programme at the lane on selected matchdays

I stopped buying programmes ages ago.

 

[shorehamview]

Season ticket - £300
Cup matches at home - £70, assuming we last at least a couple of rounds.
Weekend matches spending per match, (considering for night matches I usually drive, straight there and straight home) beer, fags, pie, bovril, bus into town, taxi home, possibility of trip to Wetherspoons and then dodgy kebab after - £45. Ish. Times by, around eighteenish, rough total of £900.
Away trips - £200, bearing in mind I don't get to many.
Shirts, including printing on the back and trip to shop with possibility of more spending - £100.

So roughly £1500 per season. Worth it? Yes.

Good friend of me, not a Blade, told me I could have buy a house instead of visiting Bramall Lane since 1981.
Reply: Glad I don t own a house, glad I am a Blade

 

[happyhippy]

I don't even want to think about it.

not really, because if you didn't go to the match, would you not eat the sandwhichs you had made, would you go without for dinner?

If I'd have gone to Birmingham...... I know it would be a fair bit more than the figures being touted (shorehamview apart)

 

[Linz]

I've spent £135.98 in the last three weeks at the Lane

 

[LeeSUFC]

My figure has fell dramatically due to working Saturdays now, which limits me to just a select few away games and all home games.

Last years I dont even wanna add up! Especially when I worked out I spent around £100-odd on programs alone! :shakehead:
