Seriously? I know Bournemouth stumped up for Real, but I genuinely didn't realise endemic 'prostitution' existed in the pre-season arena. I can understand covering the other club's expenses, but not much beyond that. Maybe we should hire ourselves out to Leyton Orient next year.
Out of interest, does anyone know how we swung this one? Bruno worked some magic? Tony won it at poker? With all due respect to Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, it's the pre-season friendly equivalent of Sheffield Wednesday FC visiting Tiverton Town (other club comparisons are available).
