Next over on the 24th May for the Toto Bayern Pokal final in Würzburg the following day. Not sure of exact plans yet but it's a good bet I'll stay in Frankfurt for the night and be in O'Reillys if you fancy a pint?

Got tickets through a mate who has a season ticket but he's away. Like Quoon said, you wouldn't have a clue who is winning, as it's just noise constantly. V...

He refereed a friendly between Altrincham and Burnley dev squad in 2016. When he was coming off a half time I suggested he might be too biased to referee this particular game.

There's not enough space to create the ramp length and gradient for basement parking, and even if there was, it would be way too expensive and wouldn't be cost-effective - central London or Manc, yes, Burnley, not a chance.

Longside opened 28 years ago next month - I almost disbelieved the almost 30 years initially but we are not far away.
I'd hazard a guess that there is more time gone now since then than between the CFS and the 'new' Longside opening.
