12:31 Thursday February 5th 2004

Police in the North are investigating the theft of �20,000 from three soccer officials in Co Antrim last night. The three men were robbed while transferring the money to the boot of a car outside the Oval in Belfast. Their thieves, who were armed with a hammer and a gun, approached in a car and threatened the three officials before stealing the cash, which was the takings from Linfield's game against Glentoran. One of the officials said he feared for his life when a gun was pointed at him during the robbery.

eL clubs don't make next to near 20,000 sterling for games. They don't make near 20,000 euro for most games.
