No treatment prostate plan
Race is on for Madrid flights & tickets to Spurs-Liverpool clash on ‘Super Saturday’
THOUSANDS of men with prostate cancer could go without treatment under new national “watch and wait” guidance.
Those with low-risk prostate cancer should be offered monitoring instead of surgery, which can cause erectile dysfunction and problems urinating.
The latest evidence shows that doing nothing in men with this form of the disease resulted in similar survival rates 10 years later, compared to surgery and radiotherapy. AT least 100,000 Tottenham and Liverpool fans are expected to descend on Madrid for the allEnglish Champions League final.
It will be one of the largest invasions of English club supporters for any single match abroad.
Each side is expected to take around 50,000 supporters to the Spanish capital.
But most of them will be watching in Madrid’s fan zones and bars after each club was allocated just 16,613 tickets.
Some said they were furious that so many “fatcat” corporate sponsors would be in the 68,000-seater stadium on June 1 at the expense of loyal fans.
Incredibly, two tickets were on sale for £90,000 yesterday on website StubHub.
Most commercial flights are sold out and fares have rocketed, so some fans are even chartering planes.
And with English football on a high, last night Arsenal and Chelsea both made it through to the Europa League final, in Baku, Azerbaijan, on May 29.
The Gunners beat Valencia 4-2 at the Spaniards’ Mestalla stadium, after going there with a 3-1 first-leg lead.
And Chelsea beat Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. The first leg in Germany had also ended 1-1.
UK pubs and bookmakers are preparing for a “Super Saturday” of sport on the day of the Champions League final.
It will see the running of the 240th Derby, at Epsom, Surrey, while heavyweight boxing champ Anthony Joshua takes on Andy Ruiz in New York.
Completing a memorable day, bitter rivals Australia and New Zealand both play their cricket World Cup matches.
William Hill’s Rupert Adams said: “June 1 is certain to be a betting bonanza – the Champions League final will have unprecedented interest. If you add in that the Derby and the Joshua fight are on the same day the industry will turn over hundreds of millions.”
The British Beer & Pub Association said it would give the industry a much WIN Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette celebrates last night needed shot in the arm. Chief executive Brigid Simmonds said: “Major sporting events provide a great opportunity for pubs to get people through the door and can contribute as much as £5million in extra revenue. “When it comes to watching live sport, only being there in person can compare with watching it in the pub. “We fully expect Brits to pack out their local for a great day of sport.” European football’s governing body, UEFA, came under fire after 4,000 final tickets were sold to “fans worldwide”, with the rest going to the organising committee, national associations and commercial partners.
