Champions League Final Ticket Allocation

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

play it at spurs ground if its chelsea

Fuck that. Make the cockney's travel

Any where in the UK really.

Hampden Park, Millenium Stadium, St James, Emirates, even Old Trafford (piss funny if we won it there).

Wouldn't need a ticket if at the swamp, 3 kicks and the door opens!

Someone said that Wembley is being used but the Cardiff Milleniun isn’t is it?
Let’s face it if it turns out to be City (the best team in the land in all the world) v Chelsea it wouldn’t be fair to our fans to have to travel to London when Chelsea fans are already there!? ;-)

It is also a an advantage to Chelsea as their preparations mean training at their own training ground and staying at their regular hotel (if they do the night before a home game)
Where City players have to travel down and train in unfamiliar facilities / hotel etc while Chelsea enjoy their home comforts

Wembley is like a home game for us these days.

No point debating where it should be played. It will be played in Istanbul whoever the teams are and whether or not fans are allowed

UEFA's grubby palms have been greased too much already for them to do an about turn

I would have thought they would want as many fans as possible going for the gate receipts (Average ticket price £300?).

If there are travel advisories not to go or if there quarantine requirements, I can see a lot of the sponsor tickets just being returned as the freebie of attending wouldn't be worth the hassle for the invited guests.

Granting Istanbul next year's final is easiest all round. Would be better for the Istanbul economy. The hotel booking rates don't exactly make it sound like loads of people are heading to IST at the moment.

The sensible thing to do if City and Chelsea reach the final is to play the game at Wembley, trials have already been done, fans have attended games and it would not mean the mass transit of thousands of fans across a continent packed into flying steel tubes. That may mean the UEFA planned jollies for their bigwigs and sponsors are changed though and will UEFA put bigwigs and sponsors before the safety of fans in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, no will they fuck.

"We are going to see how much fans matter to UEFA, that is certain" (fuck all sir)

Once again - Wembley isn't available that weekend, the FL won't move their games and UEFA won't change the date.
IF Chelsea win tonight then common sense dictates moving to a UK stadium - it's UEFA don't hold your breath

BBC North West Tonight are reporting that UEFA are allocating 4,000 tickets to each set of fans in Istanbul. Your move Boris???

Finals never ever get moved to suit teams who qualify and it is ridiculous complaining about it.

Same with the FA cup semis traditionally played like the final in London, we had a long period when they were not fixed, and now they are fixed in London again. But every time two teams close to each other up north are due to play each other there is a talk sport type debate about what 'should' happen. The only way to stop it is to boycott but it will never happen. The £64 at Arsenal for example, fans turns up protesting with bedsheets but paid the £64, and therefore endorsing the ridiculous pricing the best way possible.

Totally different scenario when Covid is a factor ‍
