Yeah, absolutely. But also there's too much peripheral nonsense now.Agreed. I still have my ST as I can afford it but as the years go on, I can see myself giving it up. Very hard to justify that sort of money.

I've seen (but don't know much about) this thing called dontpayuk which is something to do with getting them to put energy prices down. Like I said, I know not much about it, could be a bunch of nutcases for all I know but I have seen and heard them being mentioned quite often the past few days.I think we're in for a rough economic spell before there's any talk of an upswing - and I wouldn't be surprised to see utility prices stay high even when the economy improves.
15 years ago now, but I remember filling a tank in the US for the equivalent of £20. And the cars over there have a lot of junk in the trunk.Am over from the US again this time to visit family. Been quite a surprise that groceries here are actually cheaper than in the US.
Everything else however from accommodation to travel and restaurants def more expensive. And don’t get me started on the gas, sorry petrol prices.
Historically it has been one of the cheapest things in the UK. Unfortunately, due to Brexit/Covid related supply chain issues, the price is creeping upwards and catching up with everything else!Am over from the US again this time to visit family.

This is something that might creep up on the club, well, football in general.
What with the cost of going to a game being so disgracefully high, uncertainty even over travel these days, will it have an effect on the club? If it costs £100 to go to a game surely more and more people are going to swerve? I mean, if we can't afford to pay the bills, something has to give, right?
And then, even those who do go might cut back on what they spend in the stadium.
I think it's your ticket buying fan more than season ticket holders, who'll still go regardless (in many cases) and i'm sure there are many aspects yet to be touched on.
Could this become an issue or do people think football will be one of those things that gets away with it?
I was speaking to a mate of mine in Billericaaaaaaayy last week - it was his 40th wedding anniversary and I was his best man that's why I rang him - known him for 60+ years and he told me that himself and most of our lifelong mates have now got the senior discount on their season tickets. Most of them have hardly missed a match home or away in 50 years, probably somewhere between 1500 & 2000 matches.
Pleased for them but me being abroad I'll hope to get to the new gaff one day for a dekko.
Fixed your post ?
Moved there to one of the new builds back then in 1982 - He continued working for 'Ackney council for the the last 40 years - going in on the rattler to Liv.St every morning then up to his sites. He's still does 5 days every two weeks. Loves it.
For me it’s a 650 plus mile round trip the cost of living crisis this year has already made cut my games down to a max of one a month if that it’s just impossible to justify it to the mrs 120 quid a game for me it’s sillyThis is something that might creep up on the club, well, football in general.

I think Spurs do plenty for the community and get kicked in the teeth by the Council as a reward.If I can’t get to a game I offer my ticket out free of charge, not that I’m well off and even getting 20 quid for the ticket would be a big difference. I’m happy to offer it because I know the difference it makes to another. Given the economic climate I feel the club could do more this season to help out it’s Fan base. Clubs have a powerful voice and a loyal fan base, they should be doing more to call out the issues people are facing, especially in an area like Tottenham.
