Club fans get more hot dog time

Fifteen-minute break for Premiership
Guinness Premiership matches are destined to last at least five minutes more next season, after the clubs and officials all agreed to extend the half-time break.
The move is apparently designed to give the larger crowds more time for refreshment - at the same time allowing the clubs to cash in on their growing popularity and swelling attendances.
Fifteen minutes is now the allotted time for the half-time break.
It is a far cry from the matches of fifteen years ago when all the players were allowed was two minutes and a slice of orange!

More hotdogs - yeah, right!?
Surely this is so that they can show more adverts during the break and therefore more money.
Fifteen minutes is way to long - the players will lose concentration and drift off.
