If we get to either final are you going ?

[Gone for a Burton]

Istanbul for a CL final is fantastic....great historic city and wonderful sights.

Everywhere is costly but these are the times of our lives which may not come around again.

Demand will exceed supply 5rom City fans

My last European away trip was at Stamford Bridge vs Chelsea 1971 ECWC semi-final.
I went Doddy from on here,and his cousin (my school pal) in his Dad's van to Watford and then the Tube from there.
I didn't think my Dad would let me go( I was 15 at the time and still at school) but Dad said that I might not get chance to go to a European semi-final again for a long time. In hindsight,he was a 100% correct.

I was at the Chelsea away match. I had completely blotted it from my memory. As well as being the second most brutal team in the First Division (after Leeds), Chelsea were the most boring to watch. At least Leeds could play football if they wanted to.

Chelsea flooded the midfield with cloggers who would kick the shit out of everybody in the way that Neil Warnock and other have done subsequently to avoid relegation.

The difference was that referees allowed teams to get away away with it in the 1970s. A truly horrible team!

I got sign off from the mrs for Paris which then didn't happen of course, but Istanbul might be a push. If I could take her and ditch the kids with someone maybe! A long way to fly in and fly out just for the game, but I'd definitely consider it depending on pricing. FA Cup final definitely.

If we get 20k tickets there is no way 17.5k go to points. Probably 2/3rds with all the extra requests they will get, and some could be contractual for this very event.

Liverpool put 17.5k to their fans last season, according to a lad I know who is a S/T holder there. What makes you think City would take a bigger percentage for friends?

It didn’t pan out that way for Porto

There was a third of the number of tickets and free flights

This will be the odd hotel here and there, not those that are part of the bigger groups; Hyatt, Hilton, IHG, etc.

I hope I'm wrong mate but you do always hear about this happening and people getting let down.

There should be plenty of cancelled hotels available now that mickeys are out.

"I have a strong feeling we will come again. The boys are competitive. We will have an outstanding group next season. Where's it next season? Istanbul? Book the hotel." Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp last May.

Got it…. I’m in again then

No, you are correct, it happened to me for a final in Madrid and they claimed a ‘system error’. But it is the exception, not very common.

I'll be at both if we get there.

Quite difficult to gauge the numbers in comparison to Porto as the club put free flights, however there was a right load of arsing about regarding Covid at the time, I went out for a week and had to have 3 tests.

If we get there hopefully it won't be against Chelsea just so the travel options will be a bit easier. Eyeing up Paris last year was becoming an expensive do as Liverpool were doing all the same routes we would have done, plus they were effectively through after the first leg of the semi.
