And now for something completely different:
Quote:
A football club in England's third tier is offering fans the chance to pay £15,000 for a season ticket - making the seats the most expensive in the country.
Peterborough United supporters willing to fork out the cash get a padded seat in the directors' box, a three-course carvery before each game and the title of Honorary Director.
"The chairman is full of bright ideas. I think this is doomed to fail to be honest, but he has a go. You can't knock him," he said, laughing.
"I did have a word with him when he came up with this, and I said: 'I think you have to make it more attractive and say if we are doing well we ask the gaffer to put them on the pitch for five minutes as (a) substitute!'"
The chief executive says it is all a bit fun aimed at offering the wealthiest supporters something different while boosting the club's coffers.
The question is whether anyone will actually pay £15,000.
"If I had the money and could afford it, I would probably do it," said one man in the city.
But there were those who disagreed.
One shop worker was horrified.
"It's disgusting if people have that sort of money to waste," he said.
The club is also offering 75-year season tickets for a one-off payment of £12,000.
