I had a look to see if Marine were playing, no joy. So then I checked how much Tranmere tickets are, £20!! If we took my nephew you're looking at £50, then say £10 on train fares, then 30-40 on ale and food.
Mental.
I'll go and watch some park footy instead.

I agree, mate. And I completely agree with the sentiment of non league day, but I begrudge laying out the best part of a ton to go and watch Tranmere friggin Rovers.
If marine were at home I'd have gone no doubt.

Are the Little RS's at home?

Y'all could go and cheer for the opposition.

I went to watch Warrington Town this afternoon, against Harrogate Railway. Town went 5 - 0 up, as well as having a penalty saved, finally winning 6 - 3. Well worth the £5 entrance. It's the second game I've been to this season, they won 5 - 0 when I went 2 weeks ago.

I live in Fazakerley and have been meaning to get to either some Marine or Bootle FC games when they don't clash with Everton.

Used to get to a few Ballymena United games when i was with my ex who is from there. They're semi pro and Dave Hickson used to play and manage them.

Ridculous that and they wonder why Tramere's gates are always gash. To charge prices like that for non league football is just madness and it's not even like they're playing that well down there just now!

Mentioned it in the today's football thread, but went to watch Tranmere earlier today.

The prices were scandalous at 17 quid, but was going with a mate.

Well worth it in the end, superb entertainment and the closet kopites all went home to cry and wank over Klopp to try and forget about how they had just lost at home to the mighty Eastleigh.
