Assuming you mean the Man City game, fans likely to be leaving from 1930. Could be later if it goes to extra time, but I doubt it will. For what it's worth, seems unlikely to be a game with l a lot of trouble afterwards based in the teams involved.

Clearing out my office and came across this much reused folder. You can just make out a scribbled date, 29 Jan 87, for a tutorial with Bruce Gilbert. So it's at least 38 yrs old. Channeling my inner womble, I think I'll keep it a little longer. @professor-dave.bsky.social @unsworthchem.bsky.social
An old, blue cardboard folder, with scribblings, crossings out, and a label on it. Masking tape is holding the seams together. A date of 29 Jan 1987 can just be made out.

Port Charlotte great too!

Thanks Tom - pretty sure I've never tried any Glenallachie. Will keep in mind. Although I tend to favour very smokey/peaty. Can't go wrong with a Bowmore of the others you have.

I usually have a Laphroig on the go but not currently - will need to rectify!

Definitely a great selection. Most not mine I should say - my mate hosting has a collection of several hundred! The Tullibardine my favourite of the night.

Thanks a lot for the shout out Scott, and thanks Derek for helping to showcase the power of ring expansion methods to make tricky larger ring sizes. Plus, who doesn't love a nice rearrangement reaction!
