I'm taking nowt for granted tonight, we have the edge but an early goal for them will have the nerves jangling.

Should we finish the job I'd be astounded if the parties concerned are able to sort out all the issues in time for City supporters to attend - not trying to piss on anyone's chips, just the way I see it. (Hasn't stopped me booking a flight mind you - but money back if I don't travel)

For those hoping for a change of venue if it's us and Chelsea - dream on UEFA couldn't care less about supporters, and they have past with us as evidence (remember CSKA anyone)

There will be tickets available, just how many? Europa League final ticket applications opened today on UEFA website.

Not doubting there will be tickets available, the concerns relate more to travel restrictions in both countries.

Turkey will only just be coming out of a lock down, and the figures over there leave me with little confidence that the UK government will be moving them off the red list by the end of the month.

Just mho as it stands.

I get the feeling it will be amber but who are we to know?

One thing I think UEFA may be doing is waiting to see who will contest the final. The advanced vaccine programme in Britain would perhaps allow for more fans than if a French or Spanish team (or both) contest the final.

hi mate. You said if you don’t travel you get the money back. Is this with Pegasus by any chance? Just been looking at flights and saw this mentioned

 

[cleavers]

Jinx.

;-)

I'll let you off then ;-)

 

[Dr Dweeb]

Pegasus Airways, born to fly.

Hello Blues,

Certainly not taking anything for granted, and all to play for on Tuesday night but SHOULD we progress to the Champions League Final in Istanbul and fans are allowed to travel we DO intend to operate charter flights and trips as usual.

We have decided to prepare for a positive outcome and are in talks with our trusted airline and hotel partners.

Currently we are working on preperations for both day return flights and overnight stays departing from Manchester and London.

If you would like to register your interest and receive notification of any updates please email info@sportandmusic.co.uk

Come on City.

All the best,

Spike

Buy or sell any tickets?

No thanks.

A few years back I registered on the uefa site to be entered in to ballots for CL final tickets as there is a quota that are available over and above each clubs allocation (touch and go if I’d have enough points @ 16k).
Tonight I received a mail from uefa inviting me to apply for tickets via a ballot for the uefa EUROPA league final to be played in Poland. Yeah...like I’d even want one of those!
However, I have received no such mail from uefa regarding the champions league final in Istanbul 3 days later!
I can only draw two conclusions from this:
1. No fans attending ....apart from ‘the family’ or..
2.It may not take place as scheduled in Istanbul given the COVID situation?

Get the EL final tickets you'll make a killing off one of the hypocrites

 

[Wilmslow Road]

oh 100% this could go anyway, anyway I think the most realistic outcome will be it being held in Istanbul still but with 9,000 - 12,000 fans so literally a few thousand tickets to each club,

Turkey comes out of lockdown on 17th, (thats if they don't prolong it) It's not going to go Amber immediately . British Government is not going to change it's stance because of a Football Match.

It doesn’t need to change its stance. Turkey isn’t on the red list now. So almost certain to be amber when the list is announced this week.

Depending on the result tonight, UEFA will be under major pressure that it it's an all English final to move it to the UK. First, some fans would possibly be allowed to attend and secondly to alleviate foreign travel generally. Give it 24 hours and it may be clearer.

The demands to move it will fall on deaf ears. I think that the authorities are waiting to see what happens at the Bridge tonight before announcing their plans.

Er, didn't I already say that in the the bit you quote me in?

Yeah, and I was saying I agreed with you.

 

[rickmcfc]

Anyone who thinks UEFA will change this to England needs to give their head a wobble.

It wasnt even 2 years ago UEFA made 2500 (yes thats all that could travel) Arsenal and Chelsea fans to fucking Baku in the arse end of Azerbaijan. Not a chance this is getting moved. Ther eis also the slight issue that Wembley is booked out for the Playoffs that weekend.

 

[blueandy1mac]

In a covid, let's be greener world, its an absolute no brainer that the game should be moved particularly if Chelsea win. That's uefa out then.
Transporting n thousand cockneys 4000 miles to a non European destination sums up their highest bidder wins approach. Platini may have gone but the mindset is the same.
There's a reason we hate this organisation, I use the phrase loosely, it's because they're bent.
Win it, hold up the pot, put it down, walk off and leave it there with their poxy medals.
Fuck em

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

If Chelsea get through then Cardiff would be a great option. But we all know UEFA won't care about Covid and the fact that Turkey is an issue at the moment.
