I’m not that surprised - court side seats at an NBA game are $3k I had to pay $140 a ticket for corner section row 15 for the ice hockey What I think the yanks won’t understand is that the catchment of their US teams is vast - Texas has 30m population and only two nfl teams. It’s an occasion to go to a game akin to a concert. There are 17 teams in the top five divisions in London for a population of 7m Their “math” needs work ---

Don’t think this has come up before, so apologies if it has. FA Cup Final. Saturday 25th May. Championship Play Off Final. Sunday 26th May. Leicester and Coventry in the 6th rd. If either or both Saints and Leeds get through tonight, I suspect there will be some smelly underwear in “the powers that be” and watch out for hot balls in the draw tonight. ---
