Floridafox Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Including travel, accommodation, ticket what's the most money you've spent going to a City match? For me, until recently, it was easily the Red Star Belgrade game in Vienna (Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium!). Brilliant day, starting at daybreak as we flew out from East Midlands airport. But now just heard my wife has arranged for me to fly from the USA (where we now live) back to Leicester for the last game of the season. Can't wait to be there after an amazing season. (Still having problems explaining to our American friends promotion and relegation). First ever game was Frankie Wortho almost single handedly taking Coventry apart (4-2 it finished). Last game I went to was 2006, Derby at Pride Park (then living in Sheffield), Ryan Smith loanee from Arsenal looked good for 15 minutes. In between was a ST holder over 15 years, and sold programmes on matchdays over 5 years! Wife's first ever City game was 5-0 v Cambridge PO semi. Last thing want to say, is don't know what I'd do without this website! Foxes Talk makes me feel that I can still be a City fan and we love the stuff that gets posted on here. Keep it up and see you May 3!
Pegosteve Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 For me too it will be the Doncaster game. Flights from alicante, car hire, 3 days in Leicester and tickets. I know many will have spent more but for me this will be it.
Dan Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 QPR away this season. £25 for a train which I never even got on as I'd booked the wrong one to my mates - of course I got the one with them only 25 minutes later, the same route and same journey, not a full train at all and was charged £40 for doing so. I had to laugh at the woman on there who genuinely spoke to me like she was doing me a favour by not charging me £80 Add to that the ticket I make that around £80 and that's without food or drink. Though the appalling lack of pubs we got into pre-match definitely saved me some.
Manjiro Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Boro League Cup Final. Flew Tokyo to London the day before. Stayed at Wembley Hilton. Saw the match. Visited family in Leicester straight after. Flew back two days later (but missed the replay and victory).
Jakemoore Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Somehow managed to spend £100 to get to Reading two Mondays ago...not a clue how! Didn't decide to go until 3:00 which made it more expensive!

corbyfox1884 Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 league cup at stamford bridge .. car broke down on the m40 so i paid for 3 bus tickets from oxford to shepherds bush , taxi to the bridge , 3 last train tickets from st pancras to kettering (£33 each) .. total cost £250. what a night !!
Unabomber Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Blackpool away a few years ago, train from Sheffield 2 nights b&b all day session on the Saturday ending in the casino probably resulted in a £500 gross spend.
AndWhat? Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Chelsea in the cup. Weekend down in London. Must have spent £500 easily. I was a dickhead with money back then and went ****ing crazy.
Neil_LCFC Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Vienna Red Star game for me aswell. Was superb being in the east mids airport bars full of City fans chanting getting hammered and it wasn't even breakfast time !
Guest bss9401 Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Tranmere Cup final. Guernsey to Gatwick etc, etc. Soon mounts up as I stopped over a couple of nights with mates.
lestajigs Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Blackburn f.a cup, q final, night in Blackpool before easy £350
Lionheart Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Madrid,flights,2 nights in hotel,match ticket and 48hrs on the piss!
bovril Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Flew back to see them in the home leg of the semi final against Cardiff in 2010. Total cost was around 350 quid. That game put me off NFP for a long time, I've since forgiven him though!
Southcoastfox08 Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Probably Blackpool away in our 1st year back in the championship. Drove up from Sussex with the wife and stayed up there for the night. Easily £75 on petrol too.
cecchini Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 flew back from kiev once ( about 10 years ago) to see a very important game. so important i cant remember which. airfares etc cost me over a grand. we lost.
BoyJones Posted 24 April 2014 Posted 24 April 2014 Madrid, took my two youngest sons, 14 & 16, (the eldest two were in the forces and gutted) stayed at a four star hotel, two nights on the piss, probably a grand all in, but well worth it. Next time they can pay for the old man!
Bramhall Fox Posted 25 April 2014 Posted 25 April 2014 Man Utd away in the League Cup (I think). Lived in London at the time and couldn't get afternoon off work so the only way to get there was to fly. Flew from Heathrow to Manchester with BA, taxi to the ground with about 2 minutes to spare, hotel in Manchester and then very early taxi and then flight back to London the next morning. Very expensive trip to see a 5-1 thrashing!
