Last couple of seasons I've spent roughly £2000, including tickets, travel, food and drink.

This season I'm probably on that already...
I don't like to count...

Home games - season ticket works out at about £30 a game, £40 on petrol, maybe £10 on sundries. I minimise other costs by staying overnight at my parents in West Reading. so about £80 a game.

Away - I'll get to about 15 aways all told this season so £25-40 on a ticket, £20-£40 on petrol, depending on where the game is or £15 if it's less than 90 minutes away on the train (This always involves the invitable wait at the cathedral of despair that is Leeds station. The only league towns I can get a direct train to from Keighley are Leeds, Bradford and Carlisle). Food, drink parking etc, about £30. Between £60 and £120 a game.

I long for a cup game at Bradford. £1.50 return on the train, 5 minute walk to the station or the car park at work if I drive and home inside 20 minutes.

Travelling as a group of three to Boro' (2 full, one concession), it was £63 for tickets, £6 for programme and coffees at the ground, £80 in petrol and £115 for two rooms in York on the way back. Throw in the money spent on a crawl round York plus all food and we topped £320 for the weekend...same level of spend at Newcastle, average of around £200 per game in the North-West or Sheffield, £150 for Villa, £120 for London games (except Chelsea - £160) and £100 for Pompey...it's got to be around £3700 for all the away games. I know you could get to all the away games for a lot less, but we decided to do this season - and this season alone - in some style.
