What pisses me off is It costs me more to park than my match ticket in the 80's..

I don't want to get into a Monty Python sketch but you are all right, I remember sitting in the Witton Lane Stand for the League Cup game against Millwall (When McInally scored his wondergoal) and it cost me 1.75 and the program was a quid!

My faith in football was completely restored last Tuesday.
Stourbridge 4-3 Leamington
Injury time winner, a terrace melee, chicken curry and chips (£2), a proper ground, excellent beer on the way there and back.
Marvellous, I almost wanted to give them more money on the way out (almost!).

Same here. Except for that "give them more money" nonsense, obviously.

On this note - non-league football, not Dave's parsimony - how many of us know people who've given up on the Villa, or another top flight club for that matter, and now follow a non-league side?

My brother stopped going to Villa Park a few years ago because of the cost and now goes to watch Worcester City play as often as possible. Loves it too.

Weakened teams in the FA Cup really boil my piss.
