Yes, manchester last week. I was down there because the office is in Manchester so we decided to go along. Apart from what the police and media said, 10 minutes before the match started there was already a police helicopter overhead and riot police. So the knew the screen was not going to work at Piccadily square. They went in heavy handed and they got a right royal response from the Gers fans.

I have never participated in one, but witnessed the 1989 soccer stampede in Sheffield, England that killed 94 fans. It was bad enough and being a physician I had to take a few extra risks I would have preferred to avoid but there were severely injured fans. Now I prefer to see the games on television. Regards.
