Match in doubt? Rearranged for 19.45hrs 14-09-16

35,000

And there's 1500 less Germans also to factor in.

Pity we couldn't rearrange the Swansea League Cup game and play a round behind.

Just had an email saying they want fans at the stadium no later than an hour before.

A number of bars and food outlets will also be shut due to lack of staff.

And there is free parking on some of the sites and don't bring bags if you can help it.

lol.

like people are going to get there an hour before....

Ha, good luck with that!

I notice the email says there will be no entertainment at City Square before or after the game. Does that mean it's shut completely, or will it still be open selling drinks?

E-mail says no entertainment in City Square, but will we be able to get a pint?

It says external concessions will be closed.

Just seen this too
Why is it limited food and drink?
I understand the booze regulation but as regards food would this be due to staff shortages?
Wondering

Any guesses on crowd tonight,Im thinking fairly low 30K ?

The official attendance will be the number of tickets sold not the number who turn up, so in excess of 40k I'd guess.

Uppercase is a term derived from typewriting. Don't think typewriters were on the list of what the Romans ever did for us.

The Romans actually did write in what we now call lowercase towards the end of their empire. They only used straight lines where possible for carving in stone, but developed faster styles for ink such as Uncial and cursive writing. Use of using the traditional uppercase letter at the beginning of a paragraph was purely to denote the start.

David Sacks is a good read on this.

Didn't you get the memo - all City fans earn £100k-plus a year and can afford to take a half day.

Detached from reality, including the media.

UEFA and the two clubs wouldn't have thought twice about not playing it last night, regardless of 40,000 or so blues not within ten miles of the place, transport meltdown and the threat of being killed by lightning.

anything in particular?
i'm always glad to read something that wordy fuckers recommend.

Get there 60 minutes before kick-off? Yeah, of course everyone's going to be able to do that!

If it's any use to anyone, the e-mail also stated that concessionary tickets can be used by an adult at no extra charge
