Sorry if this is a stupid question but they are being punished not city so why can't our fans be there and they get no money from ticket sales?
It's not a stupid question Kaz.
There are always a range of possible sanctions UEFA could have imposed on CSKA which would not have punished the other club as well. As you stated the game could have been played with visiting fans only allowed into the ground. UEFA could have made them play both legs away from home with a ban on CSKA fans for both games. This advantages the other club, rather than them being caught up in the collateral damage. UEFA could have kicked them out of the competition for a period of time.
What I don't understand is why effectively UEFA are punishing the other clubs and supporters when they have done nothing wrong.
Once again the collective dunderheads of UEFA have failed to make a sensible decision.
Meanwhile City are left to compensate fans who have already forked out substantial amounts of money for the trip.
No wonder City fans are disillusioned with the dopes running that organisation.
