going to Arsenal regularly - either an ST or most home games? Some people do it for decades, but I expect most people have had enough long before then, or circumstances of geography, family etc prohibit it.
Obviously away ST holders are all mental.

Renewal of my home ST last year was in total £1,049.28 of your sterling pounds. Factor in beer, travel etc and it really is a very large sum.Quote:

Didn't realise you had one. Presumably you loan it out?Quote:

I did roughly 10 years on, 15 off, 10 on, now I'm off again. I rather enjoy being off, actually.Quote:

Yes, I had one from 97-2002 when residing in your city for the second time but said ticket was not in my name. Upon moving to Ashburton Grove I was awarded my own having spent many years on the waiting list. It would have been silly to not take it up.Quote:

I still get the membership pack, natch.
My own attendance is based on my Silver membership.
About a dozen seasons, while I was a typical well-dressed young man about town living in Mayfair. A few of us bought bonds back then and, after I decamped, I held onto two season tickets for my (inevitable) sons, my big brother, who still resides in town, looking after them.Quote:
