    2 tickets - £110. Train down there £70. Other travel £30. Food/drink £40 (at least!) Programmes and other bits and pieces £20. £270 for one day out.

    Not difficult to see why the attendance was so poor yesterday, people saving up for the semi.

    Yeah Cost Is Expensive

    45 for the ticket, 30 for official coach, 6 quid for programme and that's even if you take your own food and drink.

    RE: Yeah Cost Is Expensive

    £25 for ticket
    £65 for 2 nights in hotel (twin room shared)
    However much for petrol
    Plus beer and food


    Then again combined as a weekend away so reckon it's decent value....same price for a ticket as the Chelsea game!

    RE: Big Mac and Fries

    Is the 0.25 of a pint for anyone special, or do you plan on spilling some?

    Quiet Thee!

    What's a pint of Fosters in central London cost? I'm guessing £4.20 or so. So a meal for about £30, add in some wine and a few pints and it doesn't take long to get to £75.

    And by the way I probably owe you a pint anyway for helping me with commentary a few weeks back. Thanks.
