just out of interest how often do you chaps go to football? Guess we probably have everything covered from away season tickets to people who don't go anymore for whatever reason. I used to go and watch Chelsea ten times a season (that's from living in the south of Ireland) and would usually try and take in another game somewhere else, especially if I was spending the weekend in London. Nowadays I'm lucky to see them three times a season and when I do go, it's normally away from home - I hate Stamford Bridge, possibly the worst ground for atmosphere in the top flight I'm afraid to say. Visit Cardiff for the odd weekend with the other half and have enjoyed visiting their new stadium although their fans will tell you it's not a patch on Nininan Park. Taking in the Wales England game next month and looking forward to that! Apart from that I watch the local league of Ireland side ocassionally, almost out of obligation more so than anything else, the football is dreadful and league of ireland fans are odd!
I used tae go most weeks but been a long time since ive went regular,,,,only about 6/7 times a season,,,,,not been at all this season though.Mainly due tae the piss poor football on show,,and sitting in the cold thinking why the fuck am i here?....think i would go more if we had summer football....every season i say im going tae go back regular but it never happens,,,,,,maybe next season....??
Between 10 and 20 times a season I go to West Ham from Belgium. This includes a couple of away games.
Big margin but it really depends on work, money,...
Did 18 games last season and about 14 this season. Also went to Palermo away in the Uefa Cup couple of seasons ago, promotion playoff and FA cup final @Cardiff
Before that I went less often due to not yet working.
I work alot of Saturdays so cant get to as many as I would like.
I prefer away games to be honest as the atmosphere is alot better and the Rams have quite a decent turn out. Make all the games what I prefer - Blades away, Barnsley away, Forrest games, Leicester games etc.
Go to watch hibs probably 4/5 times a season but try to make up for it by trying to go and watch Millwall when I can. Occasionally go to other grounds if mates/family are going too.

On average get to about 10ish a year.

I have a bizarre link to Derby which I ain't getting into on a forum but I always fancied taking in a Derby Forest game. Just has an appeal about it for me. Two proper clubs with a good old fashioned working class support.
had a season ticket for about 6/7 years before this season. only been to about 5/6 home games, hillsborough's like a fucking library anyway (and a half full one at that), but its still a special place. been to a few away games this season which is far better, we usually sell out and being in league one i get to see sum of england's less finer places, but theres still abit of a buzz about it even tho we're shit!!
Went to all the games in '08 and '09, went to most games in '10 and been to 4 this season, i'm not forking out £32.00 to watch Leeds play a half decent team, i'd much rather go to the pub with my pals and get arseholed on a saturday afternoon.

havent been to sunderland for about 5 seasons, might be longer, go to odd rangers games when i can, will be going to arsenal away next week though.
Ain't been to a game all season and if i'm honest i ain't missed it. Got into the habit of doing the local on a saturday afternoon and at 1.70 for Worthies, 2.00 for Strongbow and 2.40 for draught Magners with the game being shown on the box who can blame me.
every home game at the wolves unless the call of good money comes up then off to work i go, dont go away half as much as i'd like to,keep saying we will, but never docant give it up really as its only real day on the piss with me mates nowadays
has been every home game since the stadium of light opened in whatever year, not there as much this season will probably get to half to 2/3 of the home games and maybe a handfull of aways
reached for the secret too soon, cried for the moon.
