Main point is the placement of 110 urinals:))

Police in Spain estimate that up to 150,000 fans will be in Seville for Wednesday's Europa League final.
They said they expected Rangers supporters to outnumber Eintracht Frankfurt fans by two to one.
The capacity of the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan, which is hosting the final, is just 42,700.
At a press conference, officials said trains heading to the city from Madrid and Malaga were completely full with the same expected on Wednesday.
Roads around the stadium where the match is being held are shutting on Tuesday with a wider security perimeter being put in place on the day of the game - which will be Rangers' first European final in 14 years.

Seville's transport authority are adding extra bus services on the day of game to take ticketless Rangers fans to the 57,000-capacity Estadio La Cartuja stadium in the north of the city where the match is being shown on a big screen.
Ticketless Frankfurt fans will be taken to watch the game on a big screen at The Prado de San Sebastián.
There will be 5,000 police officers on hand to ensure the event passes safely.
Uefa, football's governing body, had allocated just 9,500 tickets to the fans of each of the two clubs in the final.
The rest of the tickets were given to sponsors and people from other clubs.
It is now thought that more tickets could be available to Rangers and Frankfurt fans but there will still be tens of thousands without tickets.
Up to 100,000 Rangers fans could be in the city but officials said Seville was ready to host the final.
As well as transport arrangements, it has put in place a "special cleaning plan" that involves 200 workers washing down pavements and emptying litter bins.
They have also placed 110 urinals in the busiest areas of the city.

Earlier, the mayor of Seville said the city was "completely ready" to welcome the fans of both teams.
Antonio Muñoz told BBC Scotland that the city was expecting a capacity crowd for the game, along with "many more" fans from both Scotland and Germany.
The mayor said he hoped fans would enjoy their time in Seville.
He said there would be two "massive screens" for the fans without tickets.
Rangers fans have already started arriving in the city ahead of the game, with many more due to make the journey using a variety of routes.
The weather in Seville is expected to be scorching this week, with temperatures forecast to reach 34C in the days before the match.

If they are expecting those numbers then I've every confidence in the Seville authorities to have everything in place to deal with those numbers

I like this bit - assume it means buses back after the game as well? I think they would just go to the central bus station, which is where the majority of fans trying to get out will be heading too.

Hopefully there are buses back to city centre after the game. We have a bus load going from Albufeira - Seville and just over 50% have tickets. Getting back from fan zone to where the buses are parked could be a challenge.

It’s a 90 minute walk between the stadiums.

The best thing they are doing is ensuring tens of thousands of fans will be at a fanzone well outside the city centre.

Something Manchester failed to grasp.

I think an influx of over 200k people would probably overwhelm any cities facilities tbh...that was an astonishing following!
 
Another claim to the Rangers on travelling support,seems we have blown the Seville calculator out the water. Na luck Timmy you know we are the biggest and best. WATP.
 
Just don't get heavy handed, you bunch of wallopers when we are enjoying ourselves.

Absolute pricks at times.
