Long weekend in Istanbul at end of May - Turkey on Govt Red List

[kaz7]

Zero basis for this scientifically, and no justification. Cases down to 20k today, less than france (despite there be 20 odd million more people)

It also takes into consideration where they are with vaccinations , look they have learnt from the dipper cl game last year and fans coming in from spain

Wonder if Uefa knew about the red list which is why they have not yet announced travel and ticket info? This way they could move it from Istanbul blaming the UK government.

I fully agree, and a clever move if so. Orange would have been far too Amberbiguous anyway.

Doesn't the red list thing get reviewed the week before the final anyway? UEFA might try and use that as leverage, I wouldn't bet on them moving it yet. They are scum, after all.

But what if it stays on the red list and they have to then move it with 7 days notice

Brilliant, and I thought I’m the only one devious enough to do stuff like this. I think I’ve got most of the options mentioned (7 hotel bookings) :O

You can’t beat free cancellation!

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Now what? UEFA give our tickets to locals?

This is my gut feeling. We all know UEFA don’t act with any logic, they’ll be more than happy to keep Istanbul and have 8,000 neutrals in the stadium.

Absolutely gutting that this game wont be played in the UK. Come on UEFA but fans first for once.

Good chance they hold it here now I think

On that theme, why not Windsor Park?

I think it’s getting moved now, so that probably means Istanbul will get 2022. Istanbul song survives another year.
