CL R16 | Gladbach | 24/02 A - 16/03 H

They shouldn't be allowed to move to Budapest! It's a longer trip for us, they should have been forced to moved the match closer to England not further away, like Holland, France or Belgium. Bullshit.

Maybe those countries have similar rules?

it’s an additional hour each way, travelling first class. I think the advantage we gain by not having to play an away leg outweighs the disadvantage of the extra travel time

France certainly don't.

Also, with no fans there is no advantage in playing in your home stadium barring travel.

I think there’s still some advantages

Familiar surroundings, home comforts, routine etc. Probably a couple of hundred German officials there too giving them a bit of support... and as you say they also have to take a flight to cover the 750 mile journey
 
Is this game behind closed doors now?

I remember in tte CL group stage there was a Hungarian team and they had lots of fans in the stands vs Juventus and Barca while most of the group games was all without fans...

Personally I think this is one comp that they should have cancelled with all the cross border travel needed. Never going to happen with the money involved though.

Part of me wishes they would. It’s my lifetime’s dream to be in a world class stadium in a world class city watching City win the champions league for the first time and it would be Sod’s law we do it in an empty stadium.

I can sense this is going to happen.
