1960maaan Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 I've pretty much given up on the train North. Last few times I've looked could find nothing under about £120. Makes it a dear day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Costs are all relative. Flight to Majorca can be great or lead to days of delays, Pandemic testing costs of £400 Teeside you can catch Covid with all the youth who havent been vaccinated Always reasons to go and not to go! Real trouble is the last 18 months supporters of any team have been used to paying £10 to watch their teams - sometimes divided by 2 or more people so the cost expectation has gone right down; as will away crowds for all clubs this season once the tedium has set in and the realisation for most clubs that only one in 20 or 24 clubs actually wins the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 It must be possible to get to Boro for free if you’ve got a bus pass, though it might take a while and require a few changes of bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I book via split ticket which normally brings the prices down quite a bit but i’m very limited as to what time trains I can catch if I want a full days play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the £30 ticket price as well it's going to be an expensive day. Few years ago was going to go and watch Manor Farm away in a cup game. As my train got into Bristol I got a text saying the game had been postponed because of the rain in Portsmouth (this was about 9am and was going down on the club coach to save money). So needed something as a change of plans. City were away at WBA in the FA Cup,so got a ticket from someone on here who had a spare, ticket from Temple Meads was £90+ and the ticket I think was £25 or £30. What was going to be less than £20 for travel and entry to the game ended up being about £130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
