Below the belt that awaywego. I get to games when I can but living over 100 miles away and restricted by financial, family and work pressures which inevitably mean putting family first, means I’m unable to get to anywhere near as many home games as I’d like to. Trust me, if I lived in town still, or much nearer, I’d be there every match, putting funds in from matchday tickets, spending on food and merchandise, encouraging as many friends and relatives to attend with me. It’s very frustrating not being able to do that more often, but hey, you carry on with your cheap shots mate if it tickles you.
Agreed. It’s hard for us out of towners. I have made a few this season, and I am going today, but money and other commitments make it hard to attend every home game, as I once did. I don’t claim to be the best fan and admire those who do go the extra mile to support the club. The most important thing is that the club is now united and we have owners we can trust.
Indeed. On match attendance, I personally found it much easier to attend lots more games financially 15 years ago when on more income than now. Stick cost of living crisis, particularly travel costs, and family costs and there may be just enough to visit the dentists when necessary! Having said that, I just noticed Bad Apple saying he’d bought a ticket for today even though he’s not going and viewing it as sponsorship. I like that and will do that more often.
