Letter from PragueWhy I won't support my local football club
For the last six months I've been living around three minutes walk from the
stadium of Viktoria Zizkov football club. So it's very near. And it's also
very affordable: you wouldn't expect to pay more than two or three dollars
admission, which is cheaper than going to the cinema, or pretty much any
other form of entertainment you could think of. There are plenty of stands
selling beer, and you just have to have a klobasa (even though you know
you'll regret it later).
