Thought it sounded a bit low alright if capacity's 58000, but just noting what it said. I'm sure they must have some basis for that (round sum) figure.Quote:

I was in the one of the Bari outlets on Wednesday morning circa 11am and they were still selling away at tickets. Tickets weren't selling that great as there was an article in La Repubblica at free tickets for kids due to the Lippi/Cassano effect.Quote:

Love the one of Paddy Allen and the two full cases of Corona. When I met him there were very few left and he was worried about the cardborad getting wet in the rain!Quote:

What a trip! The people of Bari were incredibly friendly, the buses to and from the game and the 10 minutes of pure happiness after we scored will live long in the memory. One of the lads on the bus had his leprechaun hat stolen off his head by a young Italian guy who snatched it through the bus window -got a good laugh from everyone on board.
Have to agree that Bari airport was like a scene from dawn of the dead on thursday morning!
I saw packs of Peroni Beer in Dunnes yesterday - quality stuff!

I was going for a bottle of water in the train station and that nut comes past in the baggage trolley thing. When I got back out to get a taxi, there he was at the kerb as if nothing had happened. :DQuote:
