IS Poland prepared for what is coming during the Euro 2012?

I am wondering if Poland is prepared for what is coming during the Euro 2012???

I am not talking hooliganism but I'm talking the sheer numbers of people on the streets.

Anyone who has travelled on an English football tour will know that the English love to take over, not in a bad way, they just liven the place up a bit.

Gdansk, after around 10pm is a ghost town, so I cant imagine how the people will react with the streets thronged with revellers to the early hours of the morning.

This, combined with the party mentality of the Spanish and other nations, is going to transform the city for the duration of the football.

Bearing in mind that Poles cannot handle a few lads on a stag night in Krakow, I'd hate to see how they handle the masses

welshguyinpola: I am not talking hooliganism but I'm talking the sheer numbers of people on the streets. i don't think it will be too bad. the germans will probably watch the game, jump in the car or on a train and go home. as might the fans from other nearby countries. plus, the stadiums are small anyway.

First thing I really hope that both Poland and Ukraine actually get this thing done!
Ive heard that originally Ukraine was lagging in making stadiums.
Then I heard the problems about the hooligans in Poland.

I hope its a wonderful tournament. I am in Canada and we get bombarded by Hockey (which I dont mind) and a huge amount of nonsense: Baseball (the most boring sport in the world), Poker (its not even a sport), Darts (what a joke), etc. Its rare to see soccer here so basically I am stuck to watching the World Cup (Poland stopped being good in the 1970s, maybe 1980s and they dont make it often).
And there is also the Eurocup which is fun.

I only wonder why a Moderator removed my legal on-topic answer "I gotta survive"? He can express his opinion, I can express my opinion as well, even in pictorial format. The OP offered thoughts for discussion. He didn't ask for a video playlist.
