Ok so this is a less relevant aspect of the story, but I find it amusing that they specifically mentioned the special bet they put up for an animal to run onto the pitch...and in tonights Blackburn/Wigan Premier League Match a chicken ran onto the field.
There was a Venkys banner tied to it, so was obviously smuggled in by a fan and thrown on or near the pitch as some sort of protest -but I cant help but wonder if the guy who did it (or anyone else) bet on a chicken being the next animal to be on a football pitch
