Go ahead and budget 15.8 hours per week for your Premiership team
By: Bob | August 8th, 2007
We know by now that many English Premier League football fans daydream about their teams more often than they think about hot lesbian nurses Jell-O wrestling. With the 2007/2008 season commencing on Saturday, it is important to know just how much time you will spend each week following your favorite team.
The folks at Virgin Money have once again surveyed Premiership fans. They’ve found that the average fan spends the equivalent of two work days per week following their team’s every move.
And 15.8 hours a week is only the average – around seven per cent of fans admit to spending more than 40 hours a week on football which is more than the average working week. Around a quarter of fans spend more than 20 hours a week following their team.
Man Utd fans are the most dedicated – or obsessed – putting in an average 19.2 hours a week following their club. Everton, Middlesbrough and Bolton fans are a bit more relaxed only putting in 12.8 hours, 12.9 hours and 13.3 hours respectively.
All told, the average fan will spend 821.6 hours a year following their Premiership team. That works out to 34 days a year spent just on football. Thank goodness we all have our priorities straight and aren’t wasting our time on superfluous things like world peace.
