£40 petrol return to Leeds
£25 match ticket
£4 cheeseburger
£1 diet coke
£3 program
£35 parking ticket :-(

Over £100 to see one shot off target and a weak header :-(

And I thought sailing was expensive!!

I was at the Goodwood Revival on Friday. this makes every sport look cheap, 
Buy a Ferrari 1962 250 GT SWB. £1.5 Million.
Hire an ex champion touring car driver to drive it, £££££
Hire an expert team to maintain it, £££
Transport it round Europe to various high quality classic race meetings, ££££
Entry fees, tyres, consumables ££££
Then said touring car driver smacks it into the tyre wall *******

Sailing is so cheap......

Try big-boat sailing!  About 150,000 pounds for a mainsail and 6-10 mill for a boat.

Expensive to participate or spectate?

Participating in a quick sunday morning game of footy down at the rec is fairly cheap

Watching the Goodwood Revival live stream was excellent, free and dry (for Saturday, at least).
