That England game could end up with only a real small T&T contingent even though we have real people who want to go.

Thats messed up.

Yeah, by (un)luck of the draw the England game is in one of the smaller stadiums. about 32,000 in Nürnberg, Dortmund has 50,000 and Kaiserslautern has 37,000.

I tell yuh when we had it in the us in '94 we had bigger venues and it was one of the highest attended cups of all time. As much as "soccer" not a big sport in the US can't talk about attedance numbers there.
