Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sports Betting.


Sports Betting

My hon. Friend is making an interesting case. Does he agree that the amount of money already kicking around within football does not seem to have trickled down to clubs such as AFC Bournemouth, who, thankfully, have just managed to avoid relegation from league two? Those clubs work towards the possibility of getting just one game in the FA cup against a premier league team, simply so they can get the gate receipts that mean they can manage financially for another year.
