I think the fact that 160 million people tuned into the Champions League final really meant that Cardiff in particular was put on the map in a way that we, perhaps, haven't seen before. So, football is an international language unlike any other, and I think the tragic events that we've seen last week for Cardiff City is also an example where the kind of focus that we've seen on Cardiff that we didn't particularly want means that this international language is something that everybody's focused on.

There will be, I think, opportunities for us to co-operate with other parts of the United Kingdom to look at future football events and, of course, the bigger, the better as far as we're concerned. So, we will look at co-hosting some events of that scale and nature in the future.
