That can't be right.
If by every game you mean every EL game, then surely you can buy a season ticket for them too.

you have no clue how much it costs to get 4 kids to match Seriously

Bus down is a fiver which i like, taxi home is €14 then theres the hot dogs and sweets and drinks. its actually cheaper to go on my own and go drinking after the match at about €60 for the night.

£800 on season ticket, another 500 odd on CL, FA Cup and Carling Cup games , £700 on two away trips to Europe, another few hundred on away tickets and travel.

And £3 on programme each game, 1 new jersey £30, and multiple pints each game.

you still win though, thankfully no kids to be taking.

€100 season ticket
€50 jersey
€20 self made flag
€300 away days
€100 quid on scarves, programmes etc.
€200 in lost wages.

€670. Brilliant and well worth it.

You'd spend that on a weekend in Manchester over to see Manchester United. I love the el

redzerdrog

a good bit less id say but have no kids so that cuts the costs but if you include going on a session after the game every friday and the bottles of moet after winning setanta cup and and the league it would be a lot more:)

Let's see here.

€500 a year on SSDG to keep the club going, among other we payed League Fees last winter. Be the same this winter. Money well spent.

18 Home games X 15
€270
Plus two cup games X 15
€300

Plus programmes.
€3 each X 20
€360

Drinks after, say forty quid a night spent in the bar at Tolka, can I count that?
40 X 20
€800
€1100


Say ten away trips. Usually in a car, so that costs nothing.
Into the game, €15 a game
€150
€1250

Jersey/merchandise would bring it up to €1400

I still pay half a Sky sub in the mother's place and go out to watch football come CL time, can I count that?

So, nearly a grand and a half on Shels.

God knows how much going to the pub etc...

I'm better than everyone. So there.

fortuneg

Premier League Cards: £1.20 (per pack) x 7,852 = £9,422.40
Premier League Album: £4.95
Sensible Soccer: £39.99
Shoot Magazine: £2.90 x 51 = £147.90
Shoot Anual: £6.99

= £9,622.23

Doing well mate, reckon last season cost me €7k in total.

Hard to tell exactly, but so far this season:

€480 Sky Sports and Setanta subs (will cost me for entire year)
€2k home and away season tickets.
€80 for extra cup tickets.
€800 for Tel Aviv travel and accommodation.
€240 for four overnight hotel stays in London.
€500 for flights to/from London (7 in total)
€150 for flights missed (Bolton away and Boro in Cup @ WHL)
€200 public transport in London.
€150 taxi fares to/from Dublin airport.
€200 pre-season (Stevanage and St. Pats)

€4800 so far, and trips to London for Aalborg in Wafer and Brum in PL, followed by a trip to Brussels for Anderlecht in Wafer, Pompey away in PL, Goons away in PL, and Reading at home in PL all before new year.

Should be €6k or so by 2008.

I'm taking a break in Jan/Feb cos of a work trip to Paris, but back in saddle for last 32 of Wafer.

5 visits to Tolka Park in the EL season, but spread over 2 UK seasons so not counted.

None of that includes beerage or foodage. Lot of beerage, and £2 for a jumbo sausage roll...:D

applehunter

Thats nearly half my yearly wage.

I'd put my Cork City love for the year at around €600.

With indirect cost you could probably treble it!:D

How could he not be with all us uber-fans spending so much money to support our club!

cournioni

Man Utd matches (x10 a year at an average of €300 each): €3000
Dundalk matches (x8 a year, €12 each I think): €96
Ireland matches (x2 this year, €50 and €80 ): €130

Total: €3226

That counts for tickets and travel only. On top of all the GAA matches I go to that is quite alot!

gimmick

Not nearly as extravagant as others

€250 season ticket
Approx €80 spent every home match night (x 16 = €1280)
2 Trips to Orient €500
Cobh Ramblers x 6 €72
Sky Sports per year €240 (thats on top of the basic package)

So conservatively, thats €2342

Xavi6

Well mine pales in comparison to some of those who've posted. I spend less now I've moved to Oz but here goes -

Broadband internet (I can't get Fox so I stream) - €50 x 12 months = €600
City jersey home and away - €60 x 2 = €120
City calendar - €15

I'm also an ebay whore and collect jerseys so I spend a lot of money on there, though the jerseys are cheaper than buying them in the shop. Usually buy one every two months so

€30 x 6 = €180 as opposed to €70 x 6 = €420 (I always get name/number)

Here's my latest purchase that arrived today -

http://www.nikys-sports.com/productcart/pc/catalog/barcelonaaway1_623_general.jpg

Complete with Xavi name and number

If I was at home I'd be a regular enough visitor to Tolka. Maybe ten games a season so €15 x 10 = €150

To take in a City game would be around €300 all up.

Not excessive but it keeps me satisfied.

PHB

Broadband : Free from college (although my fees cost 20,000 grand, so does that count?)
Match Tickets : On average about 60 quid. I tend to get to about 4-5 a year, so about 300 quid there.
Supporters Coach: 15 euro return, so by 5 is 75

So in total, I spend 375 quid a year.

That said, in percentage of disposable income, I spend upwards of 50% :P

raheny red

Just a rough guestimate, I reckon something close to 2 grand. Could be very wrong though. Alot of it would be on alcohol mind - it's needed to watch that ****e .

For the lads that support a team abroad, how much would you spend roughly?

Altho the "bringing the kids to give you a break" excuse is without the greatest ever.

See mine above.

Also add that things get more expensive towards the end of the season, especially if I want to do away Euro ties (if we survive that long!!!) as the draw occurs very close to the actual games, and getting fights/hotels can be a bastard. Seville in the middle of Semana Sanata last year wasn't fun to organise.

Also, Sky and Setanta can mess up carefully laid plans...:D

Sky sports blah blah blah
