Champions League Final Ticket Allocation

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.

This would be a force majeure switch Doesn't have to be in the UK, but when a place has just gone INTO a lockdown, I take the determination of UEFA to stick to IST with a pinch of salt.

For me a switch that MAKES UEFA money AND allows the corporates to travel without worry will be seized by UEFA with both hands.

If there was no global pandemic I would agree entirely.
 
Totally different scenario when Covid is a factor ‍♂️
Fans don't need to go.

If it was two other English teams then fans on here would be crying that it should be null and void and life is more important than football.

I ain't complaining, i am just saying in the middle of a pandemic it is fucking stupid.

Now we know it is two English teams in the final, if the Government allow 4000 fans from each club to travel to a country not on its list then it is gross negligence on their behalf and if Turkey is in lockdown then it is utter insanity.

26TH April 2021 = Latest update i can find on UK Gov website.

Travelling internationally from England​

You can only travel internationally from England where you have a reasonable excuse to leave the UK, such as work. International holidays are not permitted.
 
As far as i can see under current rules nobody from England will be allowed to go to Turkey for the match.

It will be illegal.

At the moment, but there is supposed to be an update on that shortly.

I agree though, if our government allow potentially 8000 to travel to a country in the midst of a lockdown currently (even if it ends before), it would be idiotic, and anyone going would be daft, especially if you are 50+.

I discussed it with my lad last night, he wants to go, and he'll have had both jabs by next week, I get my second the day before, but I'm not even considering it, even though I could easily afford it.

I do think UEFA will come under pressure to move it from our government (rightly), and/or we'll threaten to not let anyone travel there, it will become a political issue over the next few days, sadly, as sport should never ever be political.
