Champions League Final | Istanbul or could it be moved?

If you take a gander at the Politics Subforum it's like Trotsky and Adam Smith threw a tea party. City fans don't need any further encouragement.

You’ve been reading my diatribes?

Of course - compared to some of our in-house political theorists you almost sound sane...

almost ;)

Looks like this is going to a 2nd vote in 2 weeks. Surely they can't rearrange the venue at a week's notice. The upside is Erdoğan looks set to win the 2nd vote if voters vote the same way

 

[GSW Blue]

Am I right in thinking our current captain is mates with Erdogan?

Looks like good news for those wanting it to stay in Turkey.

Yes and Ozil

Booking my flights tomorrow

Turkish Airlines will let you lock in the the price for 3 days for £16. Which is refundable if you book. Not the cheapest but good timings on direct flights from Manchester

People should hold on and see what City are doing flight wise.

Apparently the club ‘are looking at putting flights on’.

Avoids all the stress and hassle of trying to book at flight, flying to various locations, getting to the city centre, etc. The club will also put on coaches with stewards to the city centre and back to the airport after the match. The only downside is a very long day.

And whilst we’re all having a party in Istanbul you’ll be moping about at an airport and Sat for over two hours on a dry bus before you get there.

How do you know I will? I’ve got a week off work, Wednesday to Wednesday. I may have booked a weeks holiday in Turkey whilst your back home in Manchester after the match. ;-)

I’m just letting people know who are looking for flights City are apparently offering a flight option. City might even offer an overnight stay option?

I’m sure Spike will have a couple of flight only and flight and hotel stay options via BM.

Also, I won't believe its in Istanbul until City say it is... don't trust a word UEFA say

As you won't be getting out of the ground until after 1am and are 20 miles from the centre of Istanbul, where exactly will you be having this party?

 

[SSL2]

*If* we get there I'll be going right through partying all night as my flight back to dalaman is 6am

Round our hotel is partyville central. Frankly don’t care where we’re having it but we’re having it!

That’s if we get there and win it of course for any lurking Raggies/Arse or Scouse types. Up the Blues!

Getting back from the ground to the city centre after midnight looks like an absolute nightmare, given the amount of fans over there surely there would be some sort of arrangements made.
