The lack of full-strength beer led to transport chaos in the hours leading up to the match as fans attempted to reach the ground after drinking elsewhere. Gelsenkirchen’s local council reportedly voted in favour of selling normal strength beer, having been impressed by the conduct of England fans during the Serbia match. However, UEFA and local police are said to have initially overruled the council's wishes until their persistent arguments - aided by the FSA - eventually led to compromise. Following England's 1-0 win over Serbia, the FSA issued a furious statement about the "serious issues in Gelsenkirchen" that affected fans' travel plans.

LONDON: Britain's deputy prime minister warned Sunday that the country's upcoming general election faces threats from hostile actors such as Russia seeking to influence the UK's democratic process.The country will go to the polls on Thursday, in an election expected to oust the governing right-wing Conservatives and put the opposition Labour party in power.His comments came after the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that it had uncovered five Facebook pages spreading the same pro-Kremlin talking points.Some of them encouraged support for the hard-right Reform UK party led by Brexiteer Nigel Farage -- a big challenger to the ruling Conservatives in Thursday's vote. "There is a threat in all elections, and indeed we see it in this election from hostile state actors seeking to influence the outcome of the election campaign," Oliver Dowden told Sky News. "Russia is a prime example of this, and this is a classic example from the Russian playbook," he added, noting however that the examples were "relatively typical, low-level stuff".Farage -- an admirer of former US president Donald Trump -- dismissed claims that Russian bots might interfere in the election as "cobblers", using a British slang term for nonsense.He has been criticised in the campaign for saying that the West provoked Russia's invasion of its neighbour Ukraine.His anti-immigration party is tipped by pollsters to contribute to a landslide win by the centre left opposition Labour party by taking votes away from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Tories.Labour has enjoyed poll leads of more than 20 points throughout the campaign, but Sunak insisted on Sunday that he will still be Prime Minister come Friday morning. "I'm fighting very hard and I think people are waking up to the real danger of what a Labour government means," he told the BBC.Labour, led by Keir Starmer, received another boost Sunday when the influential right-of-centre newspaper the Sunday Times endorsed his party. Music sensation Elton John also announced he was backing Labour.

The Durham-born teenager had an exceptional season for Leeds in The Championship across 2023/24 - making 44 appearances under Daniel Farke.

And now, Spurs are said to have entered talks with the club for Gray's signature after monitoring the player for months. The highly-rated player is set to hold discussions with Ange Postecoglu on Sunday, as the Spurs manager looks to close in on the exciting deal. Should they wish to sign the talented player, they will have to meet Leeds' reported £30m asking price.

He told the Newcastle website: "I am extremely proud to be able to build on last season and continue my journey at Newcastle United. The fans, the manager and his staff, my teammates and everyone at the club have made me feel so welcome that I want to repay the faith they've shown in me.

At its heart are two main streets, King Street and Princess Street, often referred to as top and bottom street by locals. It’s a narrow road, with even narrower pavements, deliberately designed to ensure people walk in single file, according to local history. Knutsford Town Council is developing a Town Centre Masterplan that will address the long-discussed question of how to improve the pedestrian experience in central Knutsford. Another addition to the Knutsford street scene is Linden Stores on Minshull Street. Stalls selling artisan goods stretch between Princess Street, Regent Street, and Silk Mill Street, on the first Sunday of every month.

Nigel Farage, leader of the anti-immigration Reform U.K. political party, plays a game at an amusement arcade below his party’s office in Clacton-on-Sea, England. “There’s not much coherence to his policies, but in terms of his support, that really doesn’t matter.”Public opinion polls suggest Farage’s party, Reform U.K., will come nowhere near victory in Thursday’s general election. David Allum, right, canvasses for British politician Nigel Farage outside Reform’s office, above an arcade center in Clacton-on-Sea. The anti-immigration politician, who hails from a leafy village on London’s outskirts, is making his eighth parliamentary run in the down-at-the-heels seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea. He supported the Leave campaign that Farage helped spearhead, and like Farage, he now blamed the Conservatives for having failed to manage the departure effectively.
