IF there is a handy bandwagon around, it is a certainty that a politician or two will jump aboard.
The bandwagon that rolled around recently was the Hong Kong Stadium and its travesty of a playing surface and, sure enough, we had a couple of Urban Council leading lights laying down the law to Wembley International.
An ultimatum was issued: fix the pitch this incoming summer or your contract will be cancelled.
Tough words, and guaranteed to go down well with those who have seen the state of the surface at what could be one of the world's better stadia.
I am not going to pull out the handkerchief for Wembley International - they can surely look after themselves - but let's be fair.
Wembley were not responsible for the pitch or the building of the Hong Kong Stadium. The stadium was erected through the generosity of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and - an apt proverb applies - you don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
