Yeah, the club would’ve had to be on a different planet not to know about Spike’s trips. They’ll know all about them for sure.Why the fuck haven’t City put out a statement they must know what has been agreed. And they must know that Spike running trips even if they are dumb enough to not think that hundreds have booked their own travel already. That’s assuming they are too stupid to check in on this forum from time To time
As things stand, I’ve shelled out £599 for a 2 night trip with Spike, will easily have enough loyalty points for a ticket, but won’t be able to fucking buy one!

No way they’re gonna ship everyone in for the game and then out again despite whats being said in the press, think the whole point of Portugal hosting it is to boost their tourist economy and show they are open for business, otherwise the whole exercise is pointless.

IF this happens then no way can they control 12k people, shuttling them to / from airports and fanzones. I can see the 6k for each club very quickly reducing to (say) 1k with the rest going to uefa / the capacity reduced..was this the plan all along?!how are they gonna marshal and control up to 12,000 fans into 2 seperate groups ?
it would be a nightmare
can porto airport deal.with 12,000 people flying in and returning later to fly out all.within 24 hours ?
it will be chaos

This has to surely be a bit of posturing from the Portuguese govt ahead of an expected easing of restrictions at the weekend.....I hope!

That's my thought too, govt ministers can only state the current position if they haven't finalised the new policy. The media, as ever, love a bit of scaremongering. It's totally inconceivable that the Portuguese govt. weren't heavily involved in the decision to host the final in Porto and the relevant ticket distributions.This has to surely be a bit of posturing from the Portuguese govt ahead of an expected easing of restrictions at the weekend.....I hope!

Well, I would hope so too. I was hoping collective fan action would help to leverage change but the "I'm alright Jack" brigade won't want to know.This has to surely be a bit of posturing from the Portuguese govt ahead of an expected easing of restrictions at the weekend.....I hope!

UEFA don't give a fuck about the fans.
And Portugal doesn't give a fuck about the football.
All the Portuguese government will care about is limiting any possible spread on Covid, after working so hard to get their numbers down the last few months. They won't be bothered about putting on a showpiece event or ensuring everyone has a good experience within their country.
With City suggesting a match ticket only for those on the official trip, and that trip is just a day trip....doesn't take a genius to work out what's going on there. In, fanzone, stadium, out. From a Portugal perspective that's 12,000 people not mingling at their own leisure in the city, with a very quick turnaround of them coming and going.
I'm sure plenty of fans will be travelling without a ticket anyway (if possible) so my concern on that front is that they will put restrictions in place in and around Porto that weekend. Current talk that the 'state of calamity' will extend to the end of the month, which I think means they can really limit businesses and social stuff.
It is such a fucking mess and I hope that things get resolved in a decent way so that those going (with or without a ticket) at least don't think they've been completely mugged off.

Got to be the case. Seems so far there’s no formal announcement from the tourism ministry and talks ongoing. The extension of the ‘state of emergency’ is about Portugal’s domestic rules, international travels rules are separate.
