I sympathise, but that's no reason for Azerbaijan not to have a chance to host a final.

Personally if it was City, I'd find a way to justify it, and get myself to a place I'd never likely go otherwise, in fact I did 2 years ago, to go to Kharkiv Ukraine to watch us lose a dead rubber, and had a fabulous few days away with my son, a couple of nights in Kiev, and then in Kharkiv with two 5 hour train journeys, a great experience.

If we were in that final I'd have loved to try and go, Madrid is a piece of piss in comparison for the other 2, no matter the cost, had we got there, I was driving it.

People are different, and I personally could not justify shelling out 2k. I just couldn't. I'm already at odds with ticket prices in our own league, this is just taking liberties to a whole new level.

There is also suggestions that Baku's airport isn't equipped to handle 20 thousand or more fans coming through over such a short period plus the Visa issue (which they'll have to waive, otherwise its utter insanity). I have no problems with UEFA spreading out host cities as varied as possible so everyone gets their opportunity, but the logistics appear to make this an extremely poor choice as a host city.

I'm with you on that, but this is a european final. I was too young last time we made one, so I'd want to be there, I appreciate you've had one more recently.

Also I'd see the adventure of it being worthwhile, its not just about the football (Ukraine I discovered makes brilliant wine, and the food was exceptional).

I work with a guy, who fairly regularly works in Baku on a private contract, and he really likes the place, so has told me about the place, and I'd love to visit, but the only thing that would take me there would be football.

I'm sure most airports would struggle with that, but Kiev seemed to do OK last year, and its not the greatest airport in the world having been through it.

As you say say the Visa issue is difficult, but I've not looked into that, hopefully there will be some leeway given on that.

Didn't you play united in moscow in a CL final, that couldn't have been cheap or easy ?
