    I was in the Kop and the lads in front of me had just got their half time beers in despite it still being the tail end of the 1st half.

    That's just ridiculous. If they charged £25, they would still be making money. How much effort and time does it take to erase a name and insert another on a computer screen ? Presumably no postage involved ?

    Watched A House of Dynamite on the advice of the above posters. Me & Mrs TGE were glued to it all the way through. We were definitely NOT expecting the ending !!
