the price of success

oh the contrasts.. cambridge united's FA trophy match against local rivals histon was called off on saturday becasue of a waterlogged pitch - it goes ahead tonight. i cant go because i am entertaining SheWho (with whom i intend to have a setting limits type chat..if she shuts up long enough :roll:) It would cost £12 to get in. This morning I've booked a seat at the emirates to see arsenal play the winner of tonight's FA cup replay between stoke and newcastle: that is unlikely to be rained off but has cost me in excess of £50. Its really no wonder some people worry that traditional (whatever that mean) football fans are being priced out of the game. £9 was the most i ever paid to see arsenal before they knocked down the old north bank to create an all seater stadium - and i remember being fairly shocked then. Once ive had a meal, been on the tube, bought a programme and paid for petrol i think i will have notched up £75.. how much is the opera guvnor? elite sport .. i should coco!

Sadly true. It's like saving up for a trip abroad going to watch premiership clubs from the Isle of Wight. Even Southampton games are astronomical. And it's not even half as good as standing on the old terraces!

I like the comparison with opera.
Opens up a whole new ballgame - Bryn Terfel, centre half, I should think, but not sure who else I'd have in my team.

pavarotti at his largest in goal.. no one's getting the ball past him! and he'd be able to bellow instructions however loud the crowd were :)

Hope the entertaining is worth it and that you get to chat about what you want to.
