One more ticked off on life's checklist
What is it about supporting a football team which suspends all rationality and common sense? The company I work for, with my encouragement and the support of fellow directors, is "sponsoring the kit" of Ipswich Town's reserve goalie this season. Why? Because it's a great bit of publicity? Hardly. It just gives us an absurd thrill to see something of ours in the team's match programme each week. I've always looked at that page and thought: "who are these people who spend all that money?" But I've also always secretly harboured a desire for it to be me one day. Now it is.
