Champions League Final | Screening at Academy Stadium

[Didsbury Dave]

Before the club get more grief, I strongly suspect that the lack of alcohol will be a council/government restriction to stop
It becoming too much of a drunken superspreader type event, at least in public perception.

ffs some of you sound like alcoholics! If you can't enjoy our biggest night without having alcohol to take the edge off then i guess you sit pining for the days of york away ;)

To be fair I was pissed at York away

No alcohol on sale, not sure too many will be up for that!

That was my thought, no booze, families sat around me....I may need to express my thoughts and the mini ground won't be the right place for it.

Seems like the club are more bothered about attracting families -just like the etihad. No drinks for a final isn’t great

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

no booze is very dissapointing. poor planning me thinks

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Can’t imagine anything worse - sat watching the game in the chilly outdoors, stone cold sober surrounded by hi vis muppets ordering me around and being force fed ferris and all the other giddy idiots pre game and at HT

If you like alcohol more than City just watch it somewhere else. You have an option that you didn’t before. It won’t be City’s decision.

I was worried that I might regret going to Porto without a ticket if City put on an event. I imagined an Oktoberfest type of party - rows of tables (with beer!), big screens, top tunes and City biased interviews. Lease it out - there’d be fortunes and memories to be made. Instead it’s sanitised and a watered down effort - so looking forward to sharing the night in Porto with old school a blues who just need to be there because this is what we’ve always done. Porto in the sunshiiine is the right choice for me. Thanks to City for removing any doubts ;-)

Is it true Burnham personally stopped 10k at the Etihad because he was made to walk around the stadium and then queue up last Sunday? Talk of the GMP apparently

You only have to look at some of our support when we’re at Wembley; mullered to the point they probably have no memory of the actual match afterwards.

That being said, I will be having a scoop or two on Saturday.
