but I'm at the training ground often interviewing the players, so, you know…I work fulltime, have a half decent job and still struggle to afford it, which is the only thing from stopping me going often.
Same, albeit it I have quite a large mortgage. I think unless you are an absolute diehard that does very little with their life other than go to the games then it's very difficult to find the money. After travel, grub and beers a premium PL match is easily a £100 day or more. Doing that 1-2 times a month is quit a hit, especially if you want to do other things as well outside of football like go to the theatre, go away for a break or simply save money.I work fulltime, have a half decent job and still struggle to afford it, which is the only thing from stopping me going often.
Same. I only live in High Wycombe but still can't afford get to games, nevermind buy the tickets. As a result I've never been to see Spurs play...I recently went back to Uni, and as a poor student, I can't afford to go to more than a game or two a season. All in all a trip to White Hart Lane from where I live (an hour or so from Paddington) would cost me about 100 quid which I really need for books, etc.

Agree on the student thing. But aren't Europa tickets going for £30 a pop this season? Piss takeThe club need to start doing student tickets. I've just graduated and throughout my whole time at Uni I was priced out of going to Prem games. I could only afford to go once or twice a year! Fortunately the Europa League games are more affordable (though nowhere near as exciting)
