Scot sells house to watch England
A Scotsman sold his house so he could go to Australia to watch England play in the Ashes.Edinburgh-born Allan Fairlie-Clarke, 31, says he doesn't regret his decision despite England's poor start, reports the Mirror.
After losing his job as an air-conditioning engineer, he decided selling his £180,000 maisonette in Chelmsford, Essex was the only way to get to Australia.
Reckoning on spending at least £10,000, he vowed: "I will get to every day of the Tests."
Divorced Allan, who plays for a village side, added: "I didn't have a ticket for the first day at Brisbane but a guy got me one for £60.
"I was born in Edinburgh, but when it comes to cricket there isn't much alternative to supporting England, is there?"
