To be truthful, in the worst economic depression in living memory,
something not too dissimilar to what I paid last year would have been a little more realistic (wasn't it £136 or something?). As I said, I missed a fair few games through ill health last year and that has had a very big say in my decision this year. The fact the price has gone up considerably (for me) is not a problem for some people. I know many younger lads follow the club and also follow United or even City
but with a lifetime paying for Education and Weddings some of us older supporters sometimes have to make decisions based on things more important than sport
. It's each to his own I know and RL will always be THE sport and an affordable option but no longer for me. I don't like the incidious principle of the extra charge; many of my mates, who can still afford to watch United, tell me of the rise of such charges. Paying for games you may not even want to see???? Owning a shirt you don't really want? A free ticket to a game you didn't want to watch? Membership of a scheme that is not required???? Where does that all end? None of my opinions are aimed at the club I have always supported - they are more my thoughts on what I don't really like to see happening. As has been said elsewhere, Loyalty is not a one way street. What may be a miniscule thing at The Willows can be seen in all its avaricious glory up the road at Old Trafford. Count me out.[/quote]
it was 160 last year without murrayfield ticket. so not far off what you wanted really
