Do any of them repeat the matches in the evening? I remember I was in a bar somewhere last year and a game was on, but I had to leave at half time to go off to work. Found the same bar 6 hours later and they were repeating the match: in fact I arrived at half time, so picked up where I left...
Woke up to see our front window frame literally bowing inwards: closed the curtains and left the room quick. Looked out in time to see a neighbour's entire garden wall blown over in one. A tree fell on my car with me in it, that was a lucky escape. And I remember hundreds of dead starlings on...
