    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.

    Away ST holders I have always assumed to be single and have no real lives (or at least those who actually travel every second week as opposed to those who simply are members to facilitate cup final attendance).

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

    By going rate I meant 'how many years can people hack it', rather than how much it costs.

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

    It's Allegri, by the way. Coming in the summer #ITK

    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.

    First few years I used at my leisure and loaned out when not, but ultimately at a loss. Good friend of mine from home then turned up and basically though it is in my name he pays the full whack each year and attends accordingly.

    I still get the membership pack, natch.

    My own attendance is based on my Silver membership.
