    I've cut down on away games since I started living here

    It is like an away game - and not driving makes it a good 10 hour round trip!

    I would rather....

    ...get loved up the bum by every "tight end" in the NFL on a daily basis than spend that much money on watching us away next season.

    To be fair though, that's not a great comparison is it?

    </p>

    You'd rather do that than most things.</p>

    No, it's got boring. too much of a good thing and all that.

    Started working out my annual football bill last year

    </p>

    But I soon stopped. I really don't want to know. Last year would have been a record, what with the cup run and a wembley appearance. </p>

    And I don't think I have nearly the biggest annual bill. Dear do thissupporting lark</p>

    I might have to start looking at that option

    Just checked though and from Farnham picking a random saturday in July the cheapest I can do is £48 and it takes 5.5 hours each way
    I can drive it in just over 3 hours each way.
