Plot
Gerry and Sewell are broke. Gerry's still at school and Sewell is unemployed. They both wish for better things in life. Owning two season tickets to their beloved football club is their biggest dream of all. The tickets cost £1000 - they're £1000 short. But they are nothing if not resourceful, and they set themselves a mission to raise the cash.
Sinekatalog’s take
A sweet-natured comedy-drama about two teenage football fans scheming to buy season tickets. It captures working-class humour and friendship with real warmth. Great fun for anyone who loves underdog stories and the game.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
