Blimey, it was meant as a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek post, I wasn't seriously drawing comparisons. And for the avoidance of doubt, no, I don't really think Paul Barber is contemplating selling more tickets than the Amex capacity in case someone picks up on that.

Now in this instance, and in this instance only mind, I'm going to say so what? We do it all the time at the Amex, announce an 'attendance' figure that occasionally is only on nodding terms with with actual attendance figure. It's all about sales y'know, not how many people actually attended...

Yeah, sadly that's probably correct. Climate-wise the World Cup could well be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Have you been to a football match recently? The Arabs are paragons of tolerance compared to Barber and the Amex stewards! :) (Smiley face to indicate a tongue in cheek comment)

Did I read somewhere that the entire stadium is air-conditioned? Hopefully being in the desert that is 100% solar power, otherwise its carbon footprint must be horrendous. Probably a good job nobody flew there as that would have made the environmental damage worse.
