Because it's a pointless friendly and waste of our money. It's not like we have a bog signing to go and see either, is it?

Because we've played them plenty of times in the last few seasons and pre-seaon friendlies are just not big draws. 16k-18k is very good for a friendly.

The only reason to go is to watch Chelsea. If you actualy want to see Reading you're going to wait a week and go to Forest for a game that means something.

You missed a really enjoyable game. I guess a day sunbathing on the beach, or watching the cricket or maybe having a BBQ were preferable to you..?

Spending £3.10 on a egg and bacon bagette and can of coke was preferable to spending £35 on a train ticket, £15 - 25 quid on a match ticket, £3.80 on a cheese burger and £7 on two pints. Plus losing my entire day.

We had our first pre season game today, that and you couldnt' pay me enough money to go to a game that chelsea are playing, 4500 retards in the south stand, some of football's most odious characters in their line up and it's a friendly. Nah you're alright ta.

Yeah, the cost of travel's a bugbear with me too. But I'm a tightass, I eat and drink before leaving for the match. It's not an Arctic expedition - I can go five hours without sustenance.

Pre season friendlies are rank. I refuse to waste my hard earned on them.

Well, each to their own - if indoor bowls with the over-70s is your bag, who am I to judge?

Close to 8 and a half hours (for me) without eating is not my idea of a nice time. Besides, food and beer is negligible next to the rest of it. Could be worse. It was £100 a game for me in the prem.

That's why I'm going to kidnap and rape them. You don't have to pay then.

£100 per game is not far wide of the mark for the total family package
