New DD for me = £31.84 (inc. £1 pm for academy draw). So, basically, either a) don't bring your kids, or b) sit in the Cowshed, not the posh areas, or c) both and the cost barely rises.
OK, a flippant post and I genuinely feel for the fans who are having to make tough decisions between paying for the basic bills, or coming to football. Let's hope this current economic downturn is short-lived.
This.
I had the letter through the letterbox yesterday, felt like yet another bill, which is all we seem to get at the moment. Our utility bill is set to increase by almost £1000 next year. Before I left my job a couple of weeks ago I filled up with diesel, which cost £1.53 a liter. Walked the dog past the same station yesterday morning, £1.77. That's a massive increase in less than three weeks. Massive! Every time we do our weekly shop, it's gone up. So my sympathy to those struggling at the moment. I'm still going to go irrespective of the cost. I don't do much else. I've stopped going to gigs, too expensive. We have horses, feed, livery, farrier, all gone up. I'm sixty in June, sixty! Fuck me. I've worked my entire life, so I'd be pissed off if I couldn't do the one thing I look forward to doing because of the cost. But that's only me.
