A normal game for me, would be £100. Most of that money was wasted on beer and betting on the game, but home or away I'd spend £100 each game. I might have made it all back and some more a few weeks with a winner but ultimately it was £100. The club probably saw £50 of that each game and thats without any admission knocked off because of the season ticket. Id wake up on Monday, check the bank balance and think well was it worth it yesterday ? Having watched probably 20% of the match and spent more time chatting to friends / old players etc... The answer was no. The money could be put elsewhere in terms of bringing up a child and whereas before Id argue the toss with the wife that I had to go watch Wakefield, the answer slowly became a "Well I cant be bothered watching it today, so Im not going".
Sad I know, especially with some of the tales from the away games including been outside that sports bar in Perpignan etc...
This is a really interesting read. It can't have always been like that on the money front can it? It's perfectly possible to go to a game and not drink (I very rarely do) or spend on ancillary items. If you're spending that much and not actually watching the game then you don't have the same outlook on the game as most of us I'd imagine. I primarily go to watch the game because I like watching rugby league - surely this must have been the same for you, otherwise why go in the first place and how would you develop a love of the club to the extent where you wrote a fanzine.
I think it's a shame you're not attending, why not come along and enjoy the sport, and the atmosphere and leave the betting and the boozing alone. You might just discover why you fell in love with Trinity again.

Was that about Leon Pryce?

I'm a happy depressive - the glass is half empty but the bar is open.: |

I believe I am still under restrictions on this so I am unable to say 'Exactly right' so it will have to stay a mystery

More good than bad I'd say.
