Price of Football 2017: Meet the fan who travels 12,000 miles a season to watch Plymouth

Football ticket prices might be putting young people off going to games, but it hasn't stopped Plymouth Argyle fan Jack McDermott going to every away match.

The BBC Price of Football study found that although ticket prices are falling, they're still too high for a lot of young fans.

Jack agrees, and says following one of the more remote Football League clubs means he has to deal with travel costs.

He says "the treks are the entertaining part of it".

Jack, 25, tries not to miss a single away game for the League One club.

But travelling an average of 520 miles per round trip does has its downsides, especially for a club which is second from bottom in the league.

"Imagine going five and a half hours to travel to watch your team lose," he tells Newsbeat.

"That long journey home can be really painful.

"But I wouldn't have it any other way. That's what makes being an Argyle fan so entertaining."

Jack reckons he pays between £80 and £90 per away game, including the ticket price, travel and food.

"In some places, food and drink is ridiculously expensive," he says.

"You get some massive rip-offs. How Morecambe have been voted the best pie, I don't know.

"Credit where credit's due to Bury. They do a good pie there."

Jack thinks that ticket prices are too high, especially for away fans.

"There are a few clubs which might have an 18-23 ticket, but past that you're paying quite a bit," he says.

"On Saturday, we played Bradford. They charged £10 for home fans - I paid £20.

"They charge an extra £5 if you buy on the day, so you're looking at £25 just to get in the ground.

"That's four hours' wages for a lot of people."
