Champions League Final | Tickets - City Official Package + UEFA Tickets | 2022 Final (pg 1033)

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

This idea that moving it to the UK is "for the fans" is misleading. The capacity will be severely limited, so only a very small number of fortunate people will benefit from the change. The usual freeloaders and suits will all be fine and both clubs, after having siphoned off a good wedge of a tiny allocation for their own hangers-on, will leave a tiny amount for the likes of us.

Walsall sounds ideal then

Hampden Park would be great.

I just think it's an irrelevance. By all means move it on grounds of health and practicality but grandstanding politicians, journalists and establishment figures trying to get mileage out of faux sympathy with the fans doesn't cut much ice.

According to Uefa's criteria both West Ham and Spurs' stadiums are considered too small to host the final (and MK Dons Stadium and Hampden Park too).

There's a phrase I never thought I'd hear!

What difference does the stadium size make if it's only quarter full?

A quarter of a big number is more than a quarter of a smaller number.

The game will take place in Istanbul irrespective of anything else.

Crowd numbers is to be determined, but it is happening in Istanbul whether you think thats the right thing or not.

This thread should be closed.

Are you sure?

70,000+ (Uefa's rules) doesn't matter about the Covid restrictions.

Sorry if this has been done already. One BIG factor in moving to the UK is the 17K non-City and Chelsea tickets. Unless they are coming from Green List countries then they'll have to go into some sort of quarantine. Switzerland, home of UEFA, is on the amber list so presumably all the suits would have to arrive days before the final and isolate?
