There's also the considerable price we pay to attend sporting fixtures compared to when we were younger , people demand more for the price of a match ticket especially when you can watch most things at home .
Admittedly it doesn't always work for some sports or it works better for some sports than it does for others as you have alluded to .
We are inside Belle Vue at least 50 minutes before kick off , I wouldn't dream of entering Oakwell till at least 15 minutes before the start , one of the main reasons is the entertainment but I also like to see the Trinity players doing their pre match routine stuff , it's an education in itself watching these huge athletes preparing for what is about to hit their bodies for 80 minutes .
