Plus we have southern blues who are going from down south

When you say southern blues, is that Stockport?


Just askin'

Probably delay is deciding whether they can charge everyone 600 euros for a ticket!!

Plus the ticket office can probably only cope with one unusual event.

Be let’s get that troublesome ballot out the way for Everton first. We can start the champs league sales next week at reducing points in small increments as there’s a whole two weeks yet.

Not saying I disagree, but why are discussions still ongoing? We're allowed in, so what is the hold-up with announcing ticket details? There is surely nothing to discuss if there won't be any bubbles.

There obviously will be many things needing to be clarified I assume between UEFA, clubs and airlines such as slots, exemptions for late night flying, how many tickets will be on official club tours etc etc. Ticket spacing for social distancing blah blah. Government departments work incredibly slowly. Of course normally you’d have months to sort all this but the venue was only confirmed Wednesday. There’s probably quite a lot involved in staging a CL final in a pandemic with fans no? That’s my take on it anyhow. Fingers crossed for us all

I can imagine a scenario whereby fans travelling independently have to be tested before being entered into a fanzone on the day of the game. At that point, they will meet all of the official travel folk and eventually be bussed to the ground. Hard to imagine people just being allowed to rock up at the gate having had two days of socialising and coming from all parts of Portugal.

Can you explain the logic of that to me, please.
Everyone who is there will have had a negative test to be allowed into Portugal. They will be no different from someone going to the Algarve. Or someone who just wants to see Porto and not go to the match.
That logic means you shouldn't go to Portugal's beaches. Or go into the restaurants and bars.
Also - there are tickets on sale to the general public. Will they be corralled?
I think the minister for public health would be embarrassed trying to explain that as a policy.
In summary, I am working on the basis that this corralling malarkey isn't happening.

I can't explain it. I'm not endorsing it. But why does everyone have faith in government and football administrators to come up with common sense and fully effective solutions? Is there an ulterior motive in that they actually don't want thousands of pissed football fans?

I can take Tonster's point about Mariana Vieira Da Silva's comments being taken out of context, but this is a key comment:

"Obviously those coming by plane [to be in Porto while the match is on but do not actually go the stadium] will comply with the established rules and security measures will be put in place as happened in Lisbon last year."

What does she mean? I think that there is undue optimism at the moment. It might turn out to be alright but I don't think independent travel and rocking up at the ground in your own time is yet a foregone conclusion for everyone.
