More people in China watch our Premier League than there are people in The UK.

I'll not bother carrying on. But even keeping in The Uk, most small towns have over 10000 turn up at the match and a couple of hundred between the churches. Sky Sports subscription rates, a few million watching international matches on BBC etc.

Football offers faith, mass worship and a sense of belonging. Churches offer weak tea and disappointment.

The glorious game.

But there again, claiming more support for something than there really is... How's the canvassing going Keith? Disowned many candidates lately?
