Do you think football is good value for money ?

Let's assume we are 2 years into the future and this awful virus is done

23 home games , how much do you currently pay ?

Add on cost of travel if you live outside of the city

Coffee or pint , pie , before or during game

Programme , if you buy one

Adds up doesn't it ?

My other hobby is fishing

67 quid for a years membership to Glamorgan Anglers

Right to fish cardiff bay lake , river taff up to Taff's well . River ely from cardiff bay to St Fagans

2 lakes in Barry, a pond in Llantwit, a pond in Llantrisant, a pond near groes faen , a pond near Hensol Castle , a pond near bridgend

A stretch on the river wye , a stretch of the river usk , a stretch of the river trothy

I can fish these places every day if I want

Also there are day permits for pike fishing on the neath canal , port Talbot docks , Hendre Lake near St Mellons, lamby ponds , roath Park etc etc

And its not just an hour and a halfs entertainment , you can go fishing for 5 or 6 hours 🤔

What are the chances of being caught without a fishing license, and what would be the outcome if you were?

On the waters I fish quite high . A fine , confiscation of your rod , reel etc and a criminal record . The bailiffs are very active .

Some people don't care though but that goes for uninsured drivers , fare dodgers on trains etc

They'd probably give him a pollocking and then let him off the hook

For the mental wellbeing, yes it is. The whole day out on match day, whether home or away, is something to be cherished. Perhaps non football fans don’t get it but for me and my lot the release from everyday life, work, bills, even family etc is an important part of our make up. I miss it.

Something along those lines.

When we can attend games en masse, then yes.
But then, I'm :old: and disabled, so get a reduced price and a freebee helper - so the split cost is cheap as chips.

They'd tell him to sling his hook.

He'd probably worm his way out of it.

I think CCFC season tickets for second tier football represent good value for money. It was 12 quid to watch Merthyr last season.

You don’t have to buy food, programme, beers.etc.

Re: Do you think football is good value for money ?

back in the 70s it was roughly the same cost for a couple of hours entertainment at the cinema as it was at top tier football.
these days it is many times more expensive.

I don't think it is good value for money personally

For those of us who work most Saturdays and can only take in mid-week games and the rare Saturday ones, I'd say football is definitely very, very over-priced. Especially with the football Harris's teams are serving up!

Re: Do you think football is good value for money ?

The actual product itself, maybe not. But the social aspect, the chance to go to new places with mates, get away from everyday stresses and enjoy a drink (if you want) - then absolutely. Away days are so much better than home games in my opinion, which for myself are an all round experience whereas home games are largely an in and out job for myself when I'm back in Cardiff. City are also very reasonable with their prices in my opinion so on the whole i'd lean towards yes but then if you're taking kids etc I can see how it is just not viable every week.
