I NEED to know what time these extra 500 or so leave the stadium during the final few minutes. Vital.

Ah, but I bet they outdo us in the beer drinking stakes. Mind you, they have the advantage of being able to drink during games. On the other hand, they don't have Harveys.

I would never dream you do anything for fun. You are barking up the wrong willow tree. It is a fact that Bayer produce aspirin, as you state yourself. Branding is not an issue.
