:FWD: Cost of football
F
For those who do not listen to the 'Today' programme on Radio 4, this is
English humour at its best -
Right at the end of the programme recently, there was a discussion about the
obscene cost of entry into Premiership football games - the cheapest £60 and
£100 per game is common.
An older chap being interviewed said he could recall many years ago arriving
at the turnstile (it was probably West Ham United or Queen's Park Rangers)
to be told "That will be 10 Quid Mate".
"What!" the old chap said "I could get a woman for that!"
The guy on the turnstile said ............ "Not for 45 minutes each way you
wouldn't - And a brass band in the Interval!"
As the pips sounded on the hour John Humphries could be heard in stitches,
laughing.
