Istanbul CL Final chaos | City Matters statement (p 133)

So....what is to be done about all this,and who's going to do it ?

UEFA don't read BM and our media are unlikely to campaign on our behalf.

UEFA must be held to account for ALL their failings,dereliction of duty, duty of care,breach of contract etc.

Could the good Dr Garry act as our spokesman ?.....this must not be allowed to fade away, because next time we could be reporting on deaths !!
 
I’m still here and it’s been a fab six days and I don’t want to write a down post but the events on the stadium spoiled things.
I’m by the mosques wandered to fan zone was told to ditch all water.
Ques for more so I got bus up which was ok 1 hour 30.
Tented areas all full folk trying to grab any shade water £3 a small pot with no cap so had to drink at once.
No sunscreen anywhere I’d packed a 50ml others had larger bottles binned.
Mad bottleneck to get in.
Catering inside well we just didn’t bother until I thought better get water early second half and missed goal.
Couldn’t find shuttle bus went to the road it was chaos ended sharing a cab with two blues and €200 to taksin and he then wanted €120 more to go over the river so we got out middle of nowhere and walked the two miles.Scary but with Google managed it.
How did folk in wheelchairs manage to get through that surface in the car parks?
Most of these problems could have been avoided with a five minute meeting by some with 1/4 of a brain and a tiny bit of organisational flair.
It was like going back 40 years and credit to the blues there as I never saw one instance of bad behaviour all night or week.
Stadium aside the place is clean,safe and welcoming and I’d be back in an instant.

A bloke on the row behind me lost consciousness. Loads of blues screaming for medical assistance and the stewards and other stadium staff and police on the running track area were all just looking over but not doing much.

Took a fair while for any medical staff in the stadium to get to the bloke.

A few blues who were either nurses or doctors tried to assist. Thankfully he regained consciousness once administered oxygen and he was put in a medical chair to be carried up the steps for further attention. They nearly dropped the poor bloke too.

He reappeared for the 2nd half to claps from all the blues around him and saw us win the European Cup so it all ended well but the speed at which the officials reacted was pretty poor.

One young blue was particularly good at getting the attention of the stewards and was rightly very angry at their response.

I totally agree with this now the euphoria has worn off and the full horror has sunk in a bit. I feel like reporting Ceferin for attempted murder. He has 4 club matches a year to organise, has had 3 extra years to ensure Istanbul is fit for purpose and was very probably more worried about his dinner menu than fans. 2 years on the bounce he has endangered supporters at the showpiece event he is responsible for. It is beginning to look deliberate and him, a psychopath as nobody could surely be that incompetent?
 
We all know nothing will happen, the powers that be will say what a wonderful event ??
i didnt understand why we had water taken off us before we jumped on the buses at Yenikapi,
2 hours stood on a bus roasting hot,
we legged it to get on the bus at the stadium as soon as the trophy lift happened, probably got on one of the first 2 or 3 buses, 2 hours to get out the carpark watching people outside scrambling everywhere through the traffic,
how no one was seriously hurt or worse must be a minor miracle, saw one lad pushed up between 2 buses as the back end of one swung round luckily he was nimble enough to just and i mean just get out the way,
absolute shambles, back to hotel in Taksim for 3.30am.

Saw that from above, it was astonishing how long nothing happened, a bloke in a dark suit on a phone for ages, dunno who he was calling but why he didn’t just send a paramedic up is pathetic. Anything uefa touch turns to absolute shit
