So the French Sports Minister @AOC1978 said that "between 30,000 and 40,000" #lfc fans without tickets turned up at the stadium.

Let's consider this claim with reference to the UK's own Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds. I believe The Guide says that a turnstile's recommended entry rate is 660 persons per hour (a little over 11 per minute per turnstile). #lfc were provided with three entry points (Gates X, Y, and Z).

#lfc anticipate that the Anfield Road stadium development will take 22-23 months to complete and to open in time for the start of the football season. So with work expected to commence next summer/autumn - approval pending - it will be open for the start of the 2023-24 season. Of the (up to) 7,000 additional seats, (up to) 1,800 will be premium.

Technically the supply was approved under the Regulation 174 of the Human Medicines Regulation Act, which was passed in 2012. Regulation 174 is itself an implementing measure for Article 5(2) of the EU Medicines Directive 2001/83.
Reg 174 - again, an implementing measure of an EU Directive - can be used to enable *temporary* UK-only distribution and supply of a vaccine or treatment if EMA licensing hasn't occurred before the end of the transition period.

Not commenting on any particular cases, but just a few points on the evolution and development of UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play, because it's useful to discuss from where the impetus for licensing (and a desire to operate within certain financial constraints) came. The first discussions regarding licensing were held as early as 1999, not instigated by UEFA itself, but a number of professional clubs requesting that sort of regulation be created to combat common problems within the game at the time (e.g. stadia, youth development, finance).

Couldn't imagine a more perfectly crafted response to Trump than this by @warriors.

Perhaps it might now make for an even more powerful statement if the likes of LeBron, Richard Sherman et al joined the Warriors for the day.

Lots of tweets with "FSG only interested in profit". If so, they're not very good at it. +£20m losses in 4 of 6 FYs since #lfc takeover. The more serious point is that they're interested in #lfc as a long-term investment and (a) that's not a surprise and (b) isn't a problem.
