Juve away

[Scaring Europe to Death]

This was posted a while ago by someone but if you didn’t see it. Not sure how accurate the digital ticket is as City said it’s now print at home?

Juventus

• Fan Meeting Point has been advised as ‘Valentine Park’ there are plenty of bars here
• Man City shuttle buses will be in service from the Valentine Park to the stadium with a police escort from 6pm and will return back following the match
• It is advised our fans use these free shuttle buses for their safety in travelling to and from the stadium.
• The shuttle buses are not wheelchair accessible therefore fans are advised to take a taxi to the stadium.
• Fans are advised to allow early for 3 security checks (ID, body search, ticket check)
• It is very important for fans to note that ID checks will take place. Tickets will be digital, however due to Italian bylaws the club (Man City) has to provide names and passport numbers to the authorities with the seat location of each fan. Upon scanning the ticket, the stewards will be presented with the name and passport number of the fan on their device and the fan will then have to show their ID. ID can be passport or driving license and must be physical. Pictures/photocopies are not allowed.
• Juventus have advised that each fan will be required to take off their shoes as part of the body searches, which is their standard protocol. We have strongly requested that this does not happen and is only in place if there is a reason to believe (by police/search dogs) that a fan is attempting to gain entry with a prohibited item. Juventus Safety Team have agreed to this, however we do wish that our fans are prepared to remove their shoes if asked and comply with police to ensure no issues upon entry
• Low percentage alcohol will be available in the concourse, not to be taken into the seats
• There will be a holdback of 30-40 mins
• The away end has a glass fence and netting. We have requested the netting is taken down however likely to remain in place
• Turnstiles open 2 hours before kick-off
• Stadium is cash & card, small bags only and no bag storage area. Battery packs are ok

In this day and age there should be some kind of electronic football travel visa App that separates the sensible regulars from the idiots
This is already stored on various electronic databases, but I'm 60 Years old and have watched 1400 City games in almost 30 different countries
A passport check would confirm that I recently travelled to Slovakia and Portugal without causing any problems for the locals.

That alone should allow me to circumnavigate most of this farce.

Yeah I agree, I went to Bratislava which was such a class trip. Feels like I'm doing military operation doing Juve. I might be completely wrong, but maybe Italy's strict rule isn't due to football fans, but more their immigration policy considering they get a lot of boats coming from Africa as it's so close? I'm not clued up on Italian politics, but I swear on ITV news last month, Starmer wasn't most walmly welcomed on his trip to Italy.


Guess there's nothing stopping any of us travelling and dissapearing in Italy? Wild theory after 4 pints at lunch in Moon Under The Water, predrinkng for Spurs starts now...

Wild theory I think. I'd guess that 99% of City fans will be arriving from the UK having gone through passport control at both ends. Same risk as people going on holiday from the UK or any other European country and disappearing? Hope you manage to stay awake if you're drinking til Saturday ! 8-)

I think even home fans have to take ID to Italian football matches, but surely in this day and age there should be some form of technology that combines your passport information with your football attendance record, and subsequently proves that you're not a security risk.

It's not as though we'd be submitting anything that they haven't already got.
