    I think they are all pretty good responses. Also demonstrates how many genuine supporters are struggling to get to games for genuine reasons, be it moved location or the cost of the Premier League as well as other life commitments. Also good to see the number of supporters who actually go along to watch their local club, despite supporting a Prem team.

    Maybe that Blackpool lad would like me to help guide him on how to set up a proper petition <laugh>

    1. What team do you support? Liverpool
    2. Are you a season ticket holder/how much did it cost? No
    3. Do you actually go to games or watch only via TV? Yes occasionally go to games. Very rarely miss a game on TV. Probably miss 2 games a season on TV (streams). Shame I can't go to more Live games tbh.
    4. If a non season ticket holder, how many home games have you attended this season? None this season. Pissed off about that, pretty much had my ticket for Southampton vs Liverpool but had to cancel, pissed off.
    5. **** question.
    6. Rough cost overall that you pay for match day entertainment (ticket, food, drink, transport)? £150 on booze.
    7. If you support a Prem team, do you go to watch any lower league teams (Whom and cost per game)? Watched Southampton vs Watford earlier this season - does that count? :wink: On a serious, I watch Weymouth quite often and it's a tenner.
    8. What's the lowest league position you have ever watched your team play? PL only about 8th.
    9. When was the last time you attended your team's ground to watch them play and who were you playing? Besiktas a few years back (2014 iirc) Never go there anymore and only watch them away. Don't like to go to Liverpool for personal reasons.

    I'd like to think I've been a good supporter. I've held about 15 season tickets. Travelled up and down the country in the premiership and championship. I've only had 1 season ticket the last 4 years and this season I've only been to 3 games. Im getting older and my life is changing, other priorities are now having to come before Sunderland. I'll go when I can now

    How many grounds are you all on of the current 92? I’m on 72 currently. Hoping Barnet stay up and two I’ve done come up from the conference. Have done Macclesfield (yay me).

    Man utd fan since 1978

    Harsh as this may sound being Asian and supporting stoke was a no go and all me mates were glory hunting Liverpool fans, plus one who was a spurs fan but London was a tad far

    I used to go to games when I got older, but quite frankly i don't think clubs give a **** about fans and so I'm happy to use my almost a grand for season ticket for family instead

    I do still go but only a couple of cup games a season, take my lads. But its a few hundred quid all in and frankly taking them.abroad for a few days is cheaper

    I've been to other clubs games too. So watched ian rush testimonial and Liverpool v crystal.palace in a cup game when johnny Barnes scored (made motd as I was directly behind goal in kop) .

    Basically had a good set of mates at uni, a utd fan a city fan, a Geordie (nufc) and quite a few scousers (living in Southport). So if one got tickets we would go together regardless of club

    Way it should be imo

    Also can't help.but think the whole die for club mentality needs to change when older. Ffs its football and I'm 46

    ****ing hell, 72?! That'll take some beating.

    Most of the grounds I've been have been sides in the Prem, from memory I've gone Villa, Charlton, Fulham and Wolves when they were all in it, then I've also been to Leeds in the FA Cup, Stevenage and Leyton Orient for pre-season friendlies and also Sheff Utd for a pre-season game but with Fenerbahce (one of my best mates is a Fener fan and runs one of their European fan groups so invited me along).

    Of the sides currently in the Prem, the only ones I've not been are Bournemouth, Watford, Huddersfield and Arsenal (family's forbidden me to go there due to the trouble I used to get in <laugh>, I wanna go soon though, be good to tick it off the list). Oh I've also not been West Ham since they moved to the London Stadium but been Upton Park twice.

    Yeah I’m a sad bastard. Went to Birmingham uni and went to loads of Bury games with mates who follow them so racked up the lower league grounds and some no longer in the 92.

    Still not done City, Hudds, Burnley and Swansea from the Prem. Need one of Aldershot or Bwood to join Macc to make it to 73.
