Isnt much of a supporter?
Really disrespectful post to people who haven’t got £25.00 , and I know quite a few who would love to go but can’t afford both and guess what ? They are Warrior’s fanatics. £25.00 to some may not be a lot but to others it’s a weeks budget after the bills are paid .
No they can’t afford to go to the game because of the price of a ticket but bet the majority will be in the pub watching it!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

What about the fans that live 200 miles away? Does that make me "not much of a supporter"? Petrol, 4 match tickets, hotel, food, we're talking £300+. Yes I'll go to the GF if we get there but I can't justify that amount of money 2 weeks running. However, I am just as passionate as anyone else who supports our great club. Everyone has different circumstances, those circumstances do not make someone a good or bad supporter

I don’t think the discussion is aimed at people who travel great distances, but more locals.

I used to travel from Aberdeen to Central Park every home game but we played then on Saturdays & Sundays in the 90’s when the round trip was about 764 miles. Long before they had motorways passed the M8. Dual carriageways & single track roads after Glasgow 😊 those were the days when I was younger 😂

Train prices from Edinburgh to Wigan (if they run) are mental . I/we are lucky that we are in a position to afford them but plenty especially families can't so I think it's a bit unfair to point fingers a those who can't manage the cost.

As I said, I don’t think the discussion was aimed at people, like yourself & your friends who travel great distances 😊
