This place sounds amazing. Is there anything they haven't thought of?!

Based on their allocation given @ old stadium which was 20k, Liverpool a few yrs back got 5% about 1k tickets.

So based on this stadium we will get allocation of 2500 min unless Bill pulls his finger out.

How are people buying tickets? I keep getting a message saying unavailable to purchase in your region.

Just scouting around for grub atm, arriving at 4:40 am I reckon a fair shift could be put in on one of those 'buffet' type breakfasts which would set you up for the day.
Anyway, I've found in the past that the Ryanair inflight mag does pretty good city guides so I headed there.

Didnt find what I was initially looking for but this sounds ace....

MEERT
Charles de Gaulle himself was a fan of the dainty gaufres, or waffles, served in this 19th-century tearoom. Filled with vanilla cream, they are to swoon over, as are the other sinful chocolates and sweets on offer.

now THIS is a Brownie mr @Groucho
