Jeez! My son and I can go to 3 Windsor & Eton matches for that. No traffic problems, free parking, cheap beer... proper football played by real men in a decent spirit, for the love of the game, where a high wage would be £100 a week. And you can often chat to the managers and players of both teams in the bar after the game.
The football might not be as good but it sure has its attractions.
Non league is the way forward, absolutely.
Turn up on the day, pay less than a tenner to get in, have a pint of real ale in the club house at half time.
TBF if you're that worried about watching high quality football you wouldn't be at the Mad Stad anyway.
It's a tenner at Basingstoke, and to be honest football-wise it's almost a complete waste of money. Yeah it's great to stand up, wander around, smell the turf and get a decent pint in at half-time. But I still wouldn't say it's better value than the Mad Stad in terms of entertainment.
