They have excellent systems in Glasgow and Edinburgh and perhaps the best in England have been those at Shembld Wedne#- day's ground and Wembley. Finest of them all, however, is the new installation at Chelsea's ground at Stamford Bridge.

Cheesecake Something That Belongs On The Dining Room Table?
