Incidentally ... anyone who thinks that SASTA and Network Rail are the champions at ****ing up travel arrangements should see what the combination of Highways England and Balfour Beattie is capable of.
As a local, I can report that this is a complete closure of the road in both directions - starting at about 8pm. Local traffic is able to get to local destinations only with the assistance of an escort (which requires a wait of up to 20 minutes, before it shows up, with a man who will dismantle...
Presumably they need to ensure that they can finish the keg before it goes completely rancid. An offer like this every year or so is probably the best way to get rid of the stuff.
The increasing number of evening games will obviously have an impact on families with children's season tickets where the kids are too young to endure the late bedtimes that inevitably accompany a night time kick-off.

Setting up my home office in what had been the third bedroom got me into deep trouble with the young Miss Bracknell (who had moved out a long time earlier):-
"What the hell have you done to my bedroom?"
So now they can get on and vote Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa into Blatter's old job. The man responsible for imprisoning and torturing footballers in Bahrein for doing no more than expressing opposition to the despotic ruling family.
You could, of course, recoup the money that you have lost by trying the same trick yourself. It might impact upon your own credit rating, of course, but that's only a problem if you abandon this new approach to financial management.
All that tells us that you don't move in clay pigeon shooting circles.
I have a mate who is a European toad-in-the-hole champion. I don't expect you have heard of him, either - although he is more famous for doing other things.
