What's The Most You Have Ever Had To Fork Out For An Away Game?

[GeoTheCiderHead]

Slightly random topic, but just wondering what was the most that you have ever had to spend on watching City away or at neutral grounds? Was speaking to some Grimsby Town fans on the train to Bristol Temple Meads on the way back from the Millennium Stadium and one bloke had paid £66.40 return fare from Sheffield, he also stayed overnight in Cardiff last night and spent £40 on his match ticket and saw them play crap and lose....that was him and 5 others so between them they must of spent over a grand.

Nothing like those lads, maybe £60 maximum on petrol, tickets and food per away trip. Never stayed over anywhere yet though.

My Blackpool trips are norm 100quid +

Me and the other half flew from Jersey to East Midlands Airport, then drove to Grimsby, (Cleethorpes in reality) for the Tuesday Night Away game a couple of seasons ago, then flew back to Jersey to continue the holiday, and i had to fly the Mother in Law from the Czech Republic to Jersey to Babysit for us!!,

But as we get staff discount on standby tickets it wasn't realty that expensive,

except for the petrol.

But seeing us continue that winning run we were on at the time,

PRICELESS!!.

Mine would have to be the blackpool weekends away if you count how much you spend on beer and food etc....

knocking on towards a grand for the play-off final, if you factor in the flight, petrol from Heathrow, ticket, train, booze, fodder etc etc. Not the best investment I have ever made, as it turned out.

Well as I come over for 10 days to 2 or 3 weeks. Do I get to count airfare? If i do I've spent more than $1,000 to attend a game.

[Wurzel City]

Flew to Rome and then caught a train to Pisa for the anglo italian cup. Several days off work plus hotels £400+ although i spent a lot more on Citys tour of Scotland in the late eighties.

Was the £2.80 a pint in colchester absolutly disgusting price for the old apple juice

£60 Tickets

£4.60 Bridge toll

£260 To stay in the St David's Spa hotel after the game as a treat for the other half...(which so happened to be the place that the B****y Brighton team were staying!)

£80 for dinner

£60 Sppeding ticket on the Sunday getting away from the place

£120 extra on my insurance because of the B****y speeding ticket

and an infinite amount of money since in counselling due to the fragile wreck the whole experience has left me in....

My nephew is an Ipswich fan and he went to Milan when Ipswich played Inter a few years ago. Combined travel and ticket for that one game cost more than his Portman Road season ticket.

The Welsh dibble do this whenever there's a large crowd expected in Cardiff. Quite a sneaky, and borderline genius, way to make a few quid. Mobile speed cameras spring up along the M4, and up the A449 towards the Midlands. My Dad got caught at the LDV final, and I know people who've been down to watch Liverpool there who've had the same thing happen.
