There isn't just one single factor that comes into play with regards to the cost.
I have had to make cutbacks elsewhere to be able to afford my SC, however I do come across people who say they cannot afford to go to a match yet will easily spend £50+ on booze whilst watching the game in a pub, add to this the takeaway and taxi.
So if they can afford this lifestyle, they are just choosing to not attend the match.
My cutbacks have been anything from scrapping the gym membership to eating basics rather than expensive meals out.
The most frustrating thing I find however is the total cost to me for watching city in the season totals to around £2000 - How many fans could Adebayors wages cover in just a week?
You may pay out a lot more for watching city, but this isn't the point I'm making.
I'm watching the club I love, yes that's great, but every single player in that starting 11 earns more in a few hours than I would in the whole year.
This is where I start to question my justification, or even my support of these players.
I'm not making a choice such as what car to buy or whether we should get that new conservatory installed... My choices are: is it a nice lavish meal tonight or a tin of sardines and rice?
And the more my money goes into City - the more Sardines and Rice I eat.
You will reject this right now as many of you love the whole big name superstar player, the type of person who will just watch a film because it has an A-lister in it.... But I call for the day when wage capping is introduced across all Fifa leagues, transfer fees abolished and agents fucked off....
With the amount of money City would be saving from say Adebayors wages per week, also the £Millions saved from the transfer fee - They could and SHOULD bring these savings down to the fans where we could go and watch City, regardless of your current salary.
Overpaid footballers and agents with greedy twat businessmen.... All laughing at your loyalty to your club.
Right now, if you lose your job that's it - You are no longer a match going blue, you are even mocked by some supposed blues labelling you as a Rag for watching the game on a internet stream.
The club don't want to know you - they don't like that empty wallet supporter.
