although it's probably cheaper to get in to see a polo game than a premiership match

Damn sight. £10 for two plus car parking, £20 odd pounds for special events. Still, the last I payed for a spectator sport was about £2.50 at Salford RL about 25 years ago.

I can't see why the local youths shouldn't take up motorbike polo though, they ride all over the place anyway and insurance shouldn't be a barrier, since none of them have registrations let alone licences. Maybe do it Afghan style with a dead goat, or pensioner.

No, it's the Politics of Envy, which is so much worse than the Politics of The Other Six Deadly Sins.
