I don't know Den, I think Itshim has a very valid point. It's getting very expensive to stay in the house to watch the game.
SKY Sports is going to be about £29.00 per month after SKY's next price increase. £36.00 if you take it in HD. If BT Sports doesn't go into XL, and costs between £12.00 to £15.00 per month, that's almost £600.00 per year to catch all the action.
Whilst going to see top level teams in England and Scotland is pretty expensive, there are plenty of cheaper options if you just want to get out to see a game every second week. Within a 15 miles radius of where I live I could get a season ticket for Falkirk for £225.00, a season ticket for Livingston for £250.00 or a season ticket for Dunfermline for £215.00. Because the grounds are so close, and I know where all the free parking is next to the grounds, I would be less than £100.00 in travel costs for the whole season.
I could honestly buy a season ticket for one of these clubs, buy their home top, buy a scarf, travel back and forth to each game, buy a program each week, buy a pie and bovril all for under £600.00. Falkirk even do parent & child season ticket for £250.00.
