4-5 - Go to every home game but family has to come first so limit away games to 2-3 a season although I have to listen to Charlton when we are playing at the very least.
I would say 2 but add the rider that I only bother if they are playing the big teams - not bothered about the likes of Fulham, Norwich or even the Sunderlands of this world. I also like a pre-match meal in the Prem 'cos you always get the chance to see a celebrity or Olympic gold medal winner - Olly Murs attends a lot of games these days and I'd like to see him.
TBH I only originally stumbled on this board because I was surfing the net trying to satisfy my homo erotic obsession with the late great Charlton Heston.
4 and a bit. say 4.3. Not sure just attending the matches is the only criteria....... What I want to see is a year by year improvement, built on sustained, good quality football. Hopefully, in the near future the higher league when the club can compete on a decent level, that we can sustain and compete, without spending mega bucks......
Was between 5-6 for years, missed Weddings, came back from Stag Dos early, got friends to rearrange ski holidays (so i wouldn't miss a game) and was pretty unfair to my then girlfriends.
Didn't miss a game back at The Valley until probably 2007/8 (how much I care now is shown by me not remembering!)
Now firmly in the four camp I have got used to missing them and don't really mind anymore.
Been starting to creep more to 5 over the last few years as i have got to an age where im not out with my mates every Friday and Saturday night and have more free cash.
I can't believe some people would miss important family/ friend events for any game. Sure big games/local derbys of course, but missing a family/best mates wedding for Grimsby at home in a nothing league seems mental to me!!
In my heart I'm a 5 but due to being in exile not sure where I fit now, go to a few away games. Though in my defence for much of the 90s I was a 4 thanks to having no responsibilities, a railcard and far more disposable cash.

Last year I told my brother-in-law to book his wedding date before the fixtures were announced, or else I couldn't guarantee my attendance.

Each to their own though.
To be honest, putting CAFC (basically a bunch of blokes running around in shorts if you really break it down) before family is a bit sad to be honest.
Thats why I was completely level headed, calm, and not in floods of tears at all during the Carlisle game in Apr
Also do most England aways and the very odd home.
I think this says I like travelling
Only really go to big home games these days or if I'm offered a ticket. Actually go to more away games!
Definitely doing less games every year though.
