This may be my last season of getting over to games. It's just too expensive now, with airfares and accommodation as well as the actual match ticket. And that's not counting any time off work that may hae to be taken. Flights from Knock to Liverpool used to depart in the late afternoon, so that wasn't so bad. Looking at times for the new season though, flight are leaving around 1pm. So that's a day's pay gone west. A trip over to a game could end up costing €350 upwards. It's impossible to justify more than one or two games a season. And prices won't be coming down in future seasons.
Jesus that's what you call an expensive day out mate,thankfully we are on tv a lot more these days,but tell me what the situation is in Ireland on a Saturday,say when city are not on BT or Sky,I've noticed my last few trips to Portugal (ok I know it's not Ireland) but can you get foreign channels,or is it just what we have plus Setanta Ireland,cause they seem to have a game on every Saturday at 3,or is that mainly an LFC or Rag or as I saw Spurs channel ?
How's the TV situation on Saturday work ?
Yep. Flybe fly direct into Manchester, and they seem to have lowered their prices somewhat. Just priced flights over for the Stoke game (can't do Liverpool with it being on the monday night, two days off work). Ryanair are €55 (flying into Liverpool on friday, out again on sunday) while Flybe are charging €104 to fly direct to Manchester (again, friday in, sunday out).meeesh said:jimharri said:Well; there is no saturday TV over here apart from the satellite channels you listed.

£12 return.
Same for overseas members. We can only rack up limited points due to financial circumstances. That's why we'll never qualify for tickets for finals or big away games. It's just impossible. Not a lot that can be done about it, unfortunately.CITY FOR LIFE said:So to renew 4 cards tomorrow it's going to be another £140 fucking joke to be honest, then you will find come the Liverpool game you will need something like 4000 pts to get a ticket. What's the point 2 of our card holders are serving in the miltary now and can only make so many games but will have no chance of the big games if they time off. Not taken long to become like that lot from OT.

Probably not quite as easy for the fan with a couple of kids to take though.
He is looking at £85 plus another load of cash to take them to that one off game.
Fucking ridiculous
