Yep.

A number of times I have queued for match tickets last season and overheard such deals being made in the next kiosk. (Such as OAP's getting in certain games for £1 each)!!

Me Dad's got the game on (shouting for Newcastle ) and I must say I laughed me balls off at the conversation they've just had on commentary.

"It is a RL town this!"
"Your right there, their isn't that many of them here today."
"They are loyal though - even in such low numbers but they do struggle to attract spectators here."

Something like that anyway, made me laugh

From the BBC :

1753: A bit embarrassing for Cheik Tiote, who tries to hold on to the ball after it goes out of play and pretends to have been hit in the face when Antolin Alcaraz wrestles it off him. Silly boy. He rolled around like a five-year-old who has been told he cannot have a chocolate bar
