Anyone know how strict they are lightly to be re booze? Not a scratter or owt but would rather try and get a few bottles of EPA in than drink fosters or whatever all day.

I reckon ya will...the weather will probably play a big part in this test.....I don't expect day long downpours but I reckon there will be rain breaks unfortunately which should stretch the test out to the Tuesday...hope so for DCCC's benefit as well

The forecast seems to say there is going to be rain at points during the game, so hopefully it will be enough to give a decent 5th day.

I've got a couple of spares (2 singles) for Saturday that I'm looking to sell. Would prefer to sell direct rather than offload to a tout.

I'm new here (not a Mackem) but know Rip Van Fish from England travels and he suggested some on here might be after tickets. The Fish can also vouch for my authenticity and occasional good character.

What time is best to get there for the Friday? Also how well do I have to cover a bottle of vodka up in a pop bottle?
