00:07have to put so much sort of security in that would cost the taxpayer a fortune. As a result I've been

00:13offered tickets elsewhere in the ground where it's more secure. We don't have to use taxpayer money

00:19on additional security and that's why I've taken the decision that I have. I think most people

00:24watching this would say well fair do's. I think they'd think I was pretty self-centered if I said

00:30I'd much prefer to be in the stands by the way. If I said I'm going in the stands and you the

00:34taxpayer are going to have to pick up the tab for the security. I'm not really going to do that.
