Cole Carragher Terry G.

DieselDaisy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Just out of curiosity, how much is it for Premiership season tickets these days I know it was £400 for St James but that was back in 1996 haha, (back in the glory days of Kev and Terry Mac). I have absolutely no idea but I imagine they have rocketed since them (as with, tickets for everything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1989 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think Arsenal are around £950, Chelsea and Spuds above £1000, not sure about the others. Pretty sure Arsenal were the cheapest of the Top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very possibly though. You're a good example of what I mean actually cuz you're sharp as a fuck like that, remember bits and bobs from here and there. Unless you're looking em up but I'm pretty sure you're not. Edited June 10, 2014 by sugaraylen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The prices - season and individual tickets - have not risen, as badly as I thought (in tandem with gig prices which have risen to absurd amounts). There still seems to be some deals to be had in top flight English football:The cheapest day out is at Newcastle United, at £23.20, while Cardiff City, Norwich City and Manchester City also offer a ticket, a programme, a pie and a cup of tea for less than £30. The Magpies offer the cheapest adult match-day ticket at £15, with the other three clubs selling one for £20. It is the pie which is the selling point!Not too bad when arena-level concerts range from £50-80!The reason why I asked is I was wanting to compare the price of membership for Durham CCC with what the football clubs are charging these days. Admission to all home LV County, T20 and 50-Over matches (weather permitting, about 40 days of cricket); complimentary year book (costing £10 otherwise); players meet-and-greet at start of season; admission to the members bar and restaurant; priority booking on international tickets: £190. Almost glad cricket does not have the profile, football has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Funny you should say that as I want to an Olympic match at St James and the quality of cuisine on offer did not look appetizing. The beer also tasted of piss. (that was the same match where I got anal raped my a geordie skinhead by the way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 At St James you have to put all your belongings in a little plastic bag before being searched by a big skinhead man-mountain gorilla! And you are not allowed beer on the terraces. Wouldn't go back to be honest. Shame really as the Rugby WC is there and I would not have minded seeing the All Blacks but, fuck St James.

DieselDaisy Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 England will never win a world cup for the simple reason, that England cannot win penalties. With four knock-out matches to win, it is fair to say that a World Cup winner has to win at least one penalty shoot-out to lift the trophy.
