As one of the perks of working for his company , the staff , on a rota basis , are allowed the occassional freebie tickets to a football match withuse of the directors private box , complete withwine /beer . soft drinks a Vegan buffet meal .
My daughter was given such tickets asked me if I would like her other ticket to accompany her to the match . Well. Ihavnt been to a football match for about 40 yrs , &even ;thoughthe teamsplay in the lower divisions of UK football . it was quite a pleasant experience .
