Yeah from Wokingham, I couldn't get an advance ticket with such short notice.

Far be it from me to tell you how to spend your money, Dan, but is it really worth spending so much for a train ticket to a second round cup tie?

To put it bluntly 58, football is my reason for living never mind working, if we as a football club were top fold tomorrow I honestly would not know what to do with my life. Literally I live for football.

Dan, go watch a local non-league game for a tenner instead. You'll enjoy it and have some money leftover for more matches overall.

I am doing every away game this season, if I went to some non leaguers I would have less money to go to watch Bolton. I see you point though it's a similar standard of football.

I will do, I don't really feel any affiliation to any club apart from Bolton so it's difficult to feel the same thing if I go down to watch Wokingham and Emmbrook play, which is £5 to watch a step 6 team(that's 6 leagues below league 2!).

I have a mate who was an ardent chelsea fan - season ticket - the lot. He became disillusioned with the whole money-thing and the Premiership hooplah - and so made a life-changing decision to support his local team - Hornchurch FC. He was never happier! All the fans lived in the town - he already knew half of them - and soon got to know everyone else on the terrace. it can work. he still looks up chelsea's results - he's still a fan - he just stepped off the merry-go-round.

Maybe when I move back to Horwich, mind RMI don't exist anymore do they? is there even a team in Horwich or is it just Bolton? I don't like the way football is at the moment the money, the premiership, the ticket prices, the sh*te atmosphere, the move from a working class to a middle class sport etc and I believe I would be even more enthusiastic about it had I been born 30 or even 40 years earlier then I was. Hornchurch are also a much higher level than Wokingham, keep in mind I went to a game a few years ago on a Tuesday with an attendance of 5.

Those of us from that era and before just shake our heads in disbelief at what goes on in the game these days Dan, it ain't the football we grew up with.
