The arena AIN'T all that

Just before moving onto the after party it needs to be said that there are some serious issues with the venue

1. Crowd control is really rather silly. Our entrance for the fan club seats was right around the back of the building, and once inside you have to move all the way around to the front of the building. Okay you might say.....but when you realize that they do not allow people to take their seats until approx 40 minutes before the show starts and understand that in these narrow corridors are lots and lots of people it becomes a bit of a nightmare

2. The toilets are the worst I have ever seen at a Eurovision event.....VILE

3. There is no alcohol on sale at all.....makes for a very flat atmosphere......you're not in there long enough to get steaming drunk so why not sell a few drinks....

4. The treatment of members of the presski is bizarre sometimes. We know they like to say niet BUT why do they say no to some and not to others. One journalist was REFUSED entry to the rehearsal this afternoon because they had a camera. Funny the whole of the front row had cameras today....weirdski!!!!

5. Some useful signs inside would help.....
