"In the SSP's office, Marchant told 27-year-old Emma Greenough, a school sport co-ordinator, that he could no longer afford to keep her in the post because of government cuts. Last month, out of the blue and without any consultation, schools secretary Michael Gove axed all funding for the Brighton SSP and the 449 others that together serve every school in England: £162m of central government money for sport in state schools went in an instant. "The Olympic legacy down the plughole," says Allen."

In the meantime, I'm sure the government's favourite fast food chains and big international breweries could be prevailed upon to stump up a few bob for some second-hand footballs.
