Friend of mine posted this on Facebook - thought I'd share!


Right at the end of a Radio 4 programme recently, there was a discussion about the obscene cost of entry into Premiership football games, the cheapest price of £60 and even £100 per game is not uncommon.

An older chap being interviewed said he could recall many years ago arriving at the turnstiles (it was West Ham United): "That will be 8 pounds, mate".

"What?!" the old chap said "I could get a woman for that!"

The guy on the turnstile quickly retorted, "Not for 45 minutes each way, with a brass band and a meat pie in the interval.... you couldn't!"
