We must have took 10k to Porto and it cost loads with tests and other rip off bollox.I gambled on my flights before Christmas, and I've got enough points to be able to get one of the €70 tickets.
I just don't think we have 20k fans with deep enough pockets. 60k+ may want to go, but it could easily be more than £1.5k for just flights and a ticket. Hotels, other transport, beer tokens, on top (albeit it's fairly cheap when you get there).
A week after a potential FA Cup final which can easily cost a few hundred quid.
This is a situation where I'll happily be proven wrong, but I just don't see it.
I think it would be a great effort to take 15k-ish.
Yes. Imagine it were to go to penalties. After trophy presentation, etc, the earliest people would be leaving the ground would be 1:30am. Flights would likely have to leave at 4am. The 9 hours of flying there and back is realistically 15 hours of travelling/waiting around at airports/getting to and from the ground.Can’t see a day trip would be possible for this due the distance
Gotta be a min two nighter
Don't repeat that in front of a certain German international who plays for us or you might get a smack.We must have took 10k to Porto and it cost loads with tests and other rip off bollox.
We will take a lot to Istanbul, lots of ways to get there, hotels are not mad.
That said would love it to be moved as its a third world shithole.
Will you fly us there?I hope they move it mainly because I hate it when the pitch has a running track around it
More concerned about him mobilising to protect Erdogan and exhausting himself before the final.Don't repeat that in front of a certain German international who plays for us or you might get a smack.
Depends how many are the €70 & €140 ones we get, cannot see mamy paying any more for itShocked that people are even suggesting that we wouldn't take 20k if we get there.
If still in the ground, there is no point staying over the night of the game to come home the next morning. May as well fly straight home.Yes. Imagine it were to go to penalties.

Istanbul is a vast city and it can take forever to move around. Any supposed day trip would not make it worthwhile for anyone to go to the city centre. You're literally going to be bussed from airport to a fan park and then to the ground. Given everything surrounding Porto, the day trip seemed viable. For this one, it almost cannot be done without at least one night in a hotel.
Think your giving our ticket office way to much credit there ;)Ml
My hope - probably unrealistic - is that the club have made provisions in advance and release club travel packages straight after the final whistle of the semi final (if we win) so everyone can make plans quickly and decide if going with the club or sorting own transport.
Will you fly us there?
True enough. I can't and won't pay above £200 but anything below that and I am in. Thought of sharing a twin room with my old man for a few nights is causing me more anxiety than the semi finals, mind.Depends how many are the €70 & €140 ones we get, cannot see mamy paying any more for it
reasonably priced we could sell 50000 I reckon
