the italian end looked full to me but our end of approx 9,000 only had about 3,500 in it so id say the crowd was closer to 50,000

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.

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.

The face on your man at the front who's obviously just got something spilled on him is class.

I just hope it wasn't the bottle of beer that I somehow got in. :eek:

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!

I relieved him of his last bottle ... despite me swearing that I couldn't drink after waaay too many beers/gins/rums/wine/other strange drinks the previous night!

You got some decent pics - you must have been sober!

Brilliant picture! I've looked at the other ones in the sequence aswell and I seem to be in a few of them just gone mad! I'm the only girl in the one above. It really captures the moment we scored.
