Fool's Gold

With figures for this weekend’s FA Cup Final tickets reaching four figure sums on the black market, fans of Chelsea and Man Utd will have to dig deep into their saving funds if they are wanting to enjoy the atmosphere of the first cup final at the New Wembley.

It is clear that £2.50 for a cup of coffee and £4.50 for a meat pie seems to be on the expensive side even with it being in money-grabbing London. However, I believe that they have done it for a perfectly good reason. The FA obviously looked at who was playing and which family members would turn up, looking at the likes of Fat Frank Lampard who would easily go through 5 pies at half time, meaning the FA are well on their way to recouping the money they blew on Wembley in the first place. Wayne Rooney is another one who looks like he could chomp down on a few pies at half time. All we need now is for Fat Sam to be there next season maybe playing against the Worlds fattest man and the FA will be loaded, and can finally pay off Sven.


And we thought the FA wasted our money building the New Wembley……..
