I suspect that might be the case, it’s potentially a huge job for FC Porto/UEFA to deal with a crowd - it’s one thing to be allowed into the country, it’s another to host an event. If it’s only clubs’ official travel then they’re able to outsource a lot of the admin headaches to City and ChelseaNo, it doesn't.
I'm sceptical. I think the chartered trips are to allow so many people to enter the stadium, not just the standard 10% being given to Portuguese domestic football. If the boot was on the other foot, we'd be furious if it was 10% crowds but 35% for visiting fans from abroad and UEFA.
We have 10k next weekend. Wembley has around 25-30% this weekend but is back down to 10k for each Play Off Final. Then back up again for the Euros, potentially up to 100% by the time of the final (although I'm skeptical).No, it doesn't.

Why the fuck they could not just have it at Villa Park is beyond me ......
Hopefully a compromise is reached where anyone who hasn't booked travel yet is encouraged to go on official club trips but those of us who are already booked independently are still ok. After all, it can't be that difficult to police even with Covid restrictions - isn't the stadium just a tram ride away from the city centre?I suspect that might be the case, it’s potentially a huge job for FC Porto/UEFA to deal with a crowd - it’s one thing to be allowed into the country, it’s another to host an event.

Yes mateGoing back from Lisbon Sunday evening.
£103 all in.
I wonder if they'll split the groups to make it easier. e.g. City into to say Lisbon, coached up to Porto. Chelsea into Faro, coached up. Suits into Porto and a short limo ride to the ground.Hopefully a compromise is reached where anyone who hasn't booked travel yet is encouraged to go on official club trips but those of us who are already booked independently are still ok.
