Champions League Final | Istanbul or could it be moved?

Seriously think this might be more likely than we expect. It’s genuinely an unstable powderkeg already and wouldn’t take much to set it all off

Apologies for my ignorance to the whole thing and at risk of going off topic. What scenario is going to cause the civil unrest? I know theres an election between two very different people/cultures but unsure which one would cause it all to kick off.....

Free cancelation on hotels through booking.com just incase fellas

Hotels aren't really the issue it's flights :-(

Erdogan the current pm, they reck he will get beat in the upcoming elections and kick up a fuss/not go without a fight, in turn instigating riots on the streets of istanbul & attaturk mainly

The ones I'm aware of are for successful applicants. It may be until the final ballot after the finalists are confirmed that the unsuccessful emails are issued.

It makes sense to hold back as there will be trickle down from the non-payers.

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Erdogan is a far right dictator in waiting, and will go full Trump if he loses. But many the people despise him.
Unlike here, they will do something about it

When is the election?

First round of voting is the 14th May. I read online the other day that they (erdogan or opposition) need a 50% majority to win first time round, if not it’ll go to a second round of voting which is 28th May. No idea what the best outcome would be at this point

Attaturk? Sounds like the guy who founded the County after, that is a new one to me.

Attaturk? Sounds like the guy they named the County after, that is a new one to me.

They did and he wrote the language from scratch.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I flew in to Ataturk on many an occasion to transfer elsewhere. I think it’s closed now and there’s a main Istanbul airport elsewhere.

He knows if he loses power he's likely to end up in prison too along with his family for being corrupt fuckers. Don't see.any good ending in this.

You'll end up in the wrong city on the wrong date if recent experience is anything to go by.

 

[Impeccable One]

I said I wanted them either way and got nothing bar the holding email 03 May which I assume everyone got.

Same for me …

My mate was in Istanbul a few years ago during the last coup d'état. Said he could hear bombs exploding from his hotel. Not exactly a stable country.

I went to schalke in the Thomas Cook days and it was fine.

I can remember that, it looked and sounded mental. The Turks are nutters. Typical City, finally get to a champions league final which thousands of us can attend and we’ll have to choose which political party we want to fight for!
