IS the price of a day out at the footy too expensive?
With associated costs such as food and beer at a premium, many families struggle to afford the required budget to attend games.

“Cost is a huge, huge issue when you’re going out to the football,” Crawley said.
“You take one hundred bucks and you’re lucky to feed the kids.”
Panel member Fatima Kdouh agreed, saying the game had lost touch with its roots.
“It costs twenty dollars to park your car before you even get into the stadium,” Kdouh said.
“Essentially we are still a working class game and there are certain elements of the game that seem to have forgotten that.”
Mixed resposes were received when asked the question on Twitter, with many believing the NRL is in fact doing enough to make it affordable to attend games.
