Brad93 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) A good friend of mine has been saying come to a Tottenham football match for about a year. At Christmas I gave in and finally said okay. He text me on Thursday said remember we’ve got football Saturday. Its £55! £55 to sit and watch what you could see on TV! Not only that kickoff is at 3 but he wants to leave at 11 to go for a few hours drinking! I have two pints and that’s enough for me for the rest of the month! Seriously considering giving him the money and saying see you later! Edited March 2, 2018 by Brad93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Makes you laugh premier league, going back a bit when Wigan were in the league you could watch rugby for £17 which is plenty, probably same seat for football £35-45 plus a pint and a pie. I'm always amazed folk still pay it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I am totally amazed at what people pay to see a bag of air kicked about for 90 minutes. A local chap took his kids a few weeks ago and said he didn't get any change out of £250 at the end of the day. That is quite a nice snall driven day isn't it. I think I would be going down with a terrible attack of the flu or something. Or as my old dad used to say " You sometimes pays to learn".

Blackpowder Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Sounds like spectating football is now a rich man's sport! Shooting for us plebs. Should not really comment as never been to a match of any description. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just spoke to a local lad, told him about the club and he says, they ought to be paying you all to go and watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The gouse Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 It’s the mighty spurs that’s cheap but it is against Huddersfield. the Juventus game Wednesday would have been a better game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retsdon Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Punters juggle their finances and go without to put aside enough money to go and watch a team of blokes whose average salary is high five low six digits a week. Not to mention what the foreign ownership creams off. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 If you’ve acted keen in anyway am he thinks he’s done you a favour getting you the ticket then you’d best pay up for it, even if you don’t go. If you’ve not mentioned it and he’s bought them perhaps have a word and see if someone else fancies paying for it. Regarding paying to see the sport, never understood it myself, I’d rather be out doing something than watching someone else do something.
