Got through very quickly. Lots of availability.

Now - anyone know a sports bar in Amsterdam that shows FA Cup games???

Please don't do any 'smoking' in a bar in Amsterdam William, and underestimate the strength of it, which means you fall asleep and miss the whole caboodle. Which is similar to what I once did at Blackbush when supposedly watching Bob Dylan..................I remember John Martyn, and that was it!
Can't do cannabis since giving up cigs 11 years ago. took a single pull at the end-os-season party last year and coughed for about five minutes. but I gather there are cake options in amsterdam?

You can buy cannabis lollies for a euro each! F*cking brilliant.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

I got very messy in a coffee shop in Amsterdam for my 40th. Absolutely no coffee involved. :?

Interesting. Gave up the cigs seven years ago but absolutely love the odd spliff. I avoid the cake at all costs over here, in that with a spliff I can manage my level of indulgence. Well, to a degree. You know what I mean, I'm sure. :wink:

Speak to the coffee shop staff, Will. They're experts.
May the bridges I burn light your way

Erm, not really. He mixes his own Kingston Special. Or he did last time I went. He's got hookah pipes if you're trying to avoid baccy, As I recall. Not very well.

When I rang up, lunchtime on day 1 there were only "singles" left in the £60 section. Was surprised that the most expensive ones went so quick!

I guess the pricing differential isn't that great to be prohibitive for a "day out". :-)

There's 14k ST holders and 4.5k Lifeline/Club members. If they all grabbed 2, then there's going to be none left... :-)

I'm thinking positive thoughts - not sure the maths would quite make sense if EVERY season ticket holder got two.. but if they're being greedy then yes, it may be a struggle.

Do the people who have season tickets all have wives and children they'd take to Wembley but who wouldn't go to normal games?

Hopefully not :conf:

Dunno, but at £30-£60 I'd have probably got two and taken one of me mates...

I just mean that out of that 14k some might be parents/kids. Or maybe you'd normally go to games with your mates who also have season tickets.

Clutching at straws maybe :)
