Yes, only in the hand sanitizer.
all you can eat haribo though.
apparently the fan zone bubble is in the car park of a disused garden centre with
nice views of the motorway.
 
What a bloke if he pull this off.

City are truly blessed to have an owner of this ilk.

And to think some people don't want the fuel of the world outside oxygen to stop circulating.

Think the club are still waiting for confirmation from UEFA before they can announce ticket details, but don't think people on the official trip will be prioritised over those travelling independently. It will still be done on loyalty points. Obviously more people now able to attend means that the points requirement will now be higher though.

If the club say they’re putting on trips for 4000 they will fill those spaces even if there are already 3000 on independent trips that have the points.
 
Biggest cock up since they gave 2 tickets to season ticket holder’s for the play off final, any proper fans have already booked. Planes full of hard up executive holders going on their first away day

Its a magnificent gesture but the club have really fucked up communicating these plans - they were getting hundreds of tweets and messages when it was first moved asking whether they could make an announcement about whether it was not advised to book independent travel, at which point Spike was on about 3 sold out planes I think. Obviously people will do what they like and book to go but most of us booked independent travel when it was announced there were 6000 tickets, which realistically most who go to regular away games would feel pretty sure of getting especially in the pandemic when many older fans might not consider going.

So its not really about points or who gets tickets or who has fair dibs, its about many of us who booked either just before or when prices were going astronomical, as we would do for any away game where fans are allowed, and now the potential is that there will be thousands of fans who essentially have travelled to a game that they won’t be allowed to go to, and yet all it would have taken was a sentence from the club to say ‘The advice from UEFA/Portuguese authorities is not to book travel as tickets are likely to be restricted to those on an official day trip’.

This would not have put everyone off, but it would have stopped the likely situation of 1000s of English without tickets in a city that will have much of police force focused on the game itself.

Also we forgetting Chelsea who presumably will not get a free trip so they will also have had fans booking travel before their tickets were announced (think they have loyalty system as well) so is it going to be one rule for them an another for us?

Has this been announced? Officially?

You're much more of an expert on travel than me from your previous posts, I was just putting it out there as a potential issue, wouldn't like anyone to get to the airport and be stuck in Portugal.

For sure it's well worth putting it out there. Anyone booked on BA/TAP who doesn't take their outbound flight is liable to have their inbound flight auto cancelled.

BA oversell flights, so any confirmed seats they can free up is huge to them. Not sure on TAP but most flag carriers operate similar policies. A call/tweet to BA saying you'd still need the inbound leg despite knowing you'd not take the outbound leg might work though.

Low cost carriers don't tend to oversell flights. I think Easyjet might do it occasionally but I'm pretty sure Ryanair never do it (surprisingly). Ryanair are very much a point to point carrier and effectively only sell single flights; even when, in your eyes, you've booked a return flight, in Ryanair's eyes you're on 2 singles.
