For those who do not listen to the 'Today' programme on Radio 4, this is football humour at its best -
Right at the end of a recent programme, there was a discussion about the obscene cost of entry into English 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.
