The cost for fans who buy season tickets and club merchandise but do not travel abroad is £1,310 a season, or £68,120 over 52 years, the survey suggests.

For the "armchair" supporter, who typically has a TV sports package and magazine subscription, the figure is £283 a year, or £14,716 over 52 years, it adds.

Given our ticket prices, it's probably higher than this!

If the above is true i'm gonna get Sky and choose a Premiership team to love.

Who to support though...

They will have to win regularly and will also have to be good enough to not get laughed at by mates. I will need them to be in European competitions so that i can laugh at any of my mates who haven't qualified for europe.

I can then go down the pub in my new colours and shout my newly learned songs and insist that i am their biggest fan ever. I can further elaborate by explaining that i've supported them forever as "my dad used to take me to the games as a kid".

Losing games has to be rare, especially to local rivals, as i want to support them forever as my new "1st team". The exception to this is when going through prolonged losing periods when i am entitled to change teams, sometimes more than once, to a team "my family have always supported".

So that figure of £1,310 per season includes everything? beer, food etc???

I very much doubt i'd spend that in a season although I dont go away very often. or at all last season.

I reckon my personal figure would be around £600 - £750 per season. Money well spent (when we're winning!)

So assuming I spent £700 a season (some will have been more, some less) that means I've spent £8,400  :shock: watching STFC since I stopped going with my dad when I was 15
