And yet, many do in Scotland:

"More people attend top-flight football matches in Scotland than any other country in Europe as a proportion of population, according to a Uefa report.

On average just over 18 people out of every 1,000 attended Scottish Premiership matches last season.

The next highest was Portugal's Primeira Liga at just over 10 people per 1,000."

Some going considering we don't sell our game very well.

Imagine how popular it might be if we had a competitive top league.

I'm a part-timer/armchair fan these days. Had a season ticket for donkeys but the travelling from Ross-shire got too much of a ball-ache. I think I made five games last season.
It also got to be a hooorin' expensive day that took a chunk of my disposable.

I'll try to get to a few mair this season.....

[GASC1980]

Aye it's nae cheap. Dumpdee a week on Saturday £30 for ticket and my train(cheapest i could get) return is £22. Tims charged hearts £38 last week so i would imagine we'll be the same. I'm nae paying thatso will be missing my first game of the season. Got a wedding in Glasgow that day anyway so nae fussed at missing it. Usually miss most of it anyway when I am there due to being stuck behind a pillar. Clubs need to get together and sort out away price caps. Ffs EPL is capped at £30 for away fans.

I dinna manage to go to games because............

Red TV International for me.
Stayed overseas for quite a number of years now

bit Fk me it must be a whooring expinsive day oot nowadays when you take everything into consideration, so fair play to all

[TheDeeDon]

I bought the loon a Steak pie at the game on Saturday and it cost £4.30.

I can mind getting into the game, a pie, Bovril and a programme and still have change out of a fiver. I'm sure folk on here can remember cheaper than that.

I don't normally buy food or drinks at games and haven't bought a programme in years, but it's not a cheap day out.

Fair play to all the folk that travel up to Pittodrie for games and go to the away ones. Away days are too rich for my pockets I'm afraid.

[blowupsheep]

fcukin hell that's a fair price for a steak pie ffs.
Fit is the price of a match day program these days, think the last one I would have bought would have been about 40 or 50pence I think.
As you say DD fair play to all the folks who follow week in and week out it's a fair commitment in the current financial environment that's for sure.
I mind as a young loon going along every week to Pittodrie with ma dad (God rest his soul) and ma older brother. Canna imagine there are many working parents earning enough these days to go every week as a family
