At a time when belts are being tightened to crushing point, there are still some places blind to the financial hardships around them.
So take a bow Swindon Town FC.
Not content with charging fans £25 to watch games, they whop an extra tenner on top for the privilege of using the pay-and-display car park on match days.
Hence the fact that last Saturday, barely a third of the parking spaces outside the ground had been taken.
You expect to pay top-dollar prices for top-dollar venues like Old Trafford, Anfield and Stamford Bridge. But the County Ground in Swindon?
Even allowing for the gallery of Paolo Di Canio pictures that adorn every spare wall, it is hardly in the same bracket.
Someone needs to take a reality check on the world around them.
