    Good point Stevie. I don't think it is. A comparison, but a random one, can be made with the price of tickets for 2 upcoming gigs in Glasgow. Tickets for Andre Rieu & Kylie Minogue in Glasgow would make a severe dent in the cost of a season ticket but both will be full. A packet of fags a day these days would set you back about £50 a week.

    Football isn't cheap but sometimes its a good idea to take stock and compare it with other costs.

    That's not an entirely fair comparison, Stevie, you'll presumably have had 30 years of promotions, wage rises etc. You'd need to compare the current salary paid for your role/status then.

    Fwiw, Google suggests a '91 final ticket cost about five pints, it would now be about eight unless you're drinking absolute toilet water/stuff laced with gold.

    The overall point is correct though...prices took a ridiculous increase around the late 90s/early 2000s but have, in Scotland, been pretty stable for years and certainly competitive with similar entertainment.

    Does the argument stack up if you're on the more expensive draft though? Still tickles me in C100 after games (in the old 'wee alfa' bar), and as if by magic ... the Fosters 'goes aff', and they can only serve Moretti as a lager
