A little research shows that I and some imaginary child could Easyjet to Turin to watch Juventus - Del Piero et al - versus Inter Milan, featuring Shevchenco, the world’s best striker, on October 2. It would cost us £46 for the return flights and £20.70 for the stadium tickets. Total, £66.70.

Or the following Saturday we could spend £38.25 on a return train ticket and £28 to see Swindon take on Port Vale. Total, £66.25.

Given the obvious cost benefits, I don’t need to tell you where I’ll be.
