History repeating itself here:
For the 1981 Cup Final replay Wembley send 30k tickets to City and a Spurs and, due to there being no time to organise any thing else, put 30k on open sale at Wembley on the Monday morning.
With Spurs being up the road, this meant that their fans bought all the open sale tickets and they outnumbered us 2:1 in the stadium. This was despite the stadium being evenly split on the Saturday.
The same will happen again although with 8000 tickets it shouldn’t make that much difference!

A bit different as with no fans no advantage to either team and also no nonsense about who is going to get a ticket.People said similar when they restarted football without fans. We wouldn't have seen a single game of football this last year if that were the case. We might be waiting some time yet til we get full houses yet. Could be years, could be never
As for full houses being years away. Why in the UK are we bothering with vaccines if it is not to get back to normality.
Keep hearing this on most things. Seems to be becoming accepted also.

Anyone got the latest odds on Noel Gallagher getting a ticket?

With the same amount of fans for each team there won't be an advantage either. As for who gets a ticket, well its better some get them than none at all (which could be the way for some time)
The vaccines aren't a guarantee and we don't know what's ahead. It might be years or it might be all sorted in a few months but for now I'd take what we can get.

The same Noel that missed the QPR game due to South American touring commitments. Sorry, I’d have cancelled 3 gigs and hired a leerjetAnyone got the latest odds on Noel Gallagher getting a ticket?

We cannot travel in numbers and they offer tickets to locals so there will be more spud fans there.
My opinion waste of time. Tokenism

They were queing up for tickets at Wembley straight after the final whistle.History repeating itself here:

It is, but this seems to be being used as a test event.Talksport hypothetical exclusive.
It is still 17th May as the earliest date.

Buggers me then. I'm having my second jab at 11:10 at Sportcity on the day of the match!It will go on jabs. Those that have been vaccinated the longest with two jabs and have their vaccine passport will be first. It will be worked on earliest jabs first and then moving forwards. If you are 80’+ you stand a really good chance of a ticket :) Can’t wait to see the Poznan! :)
Ah well, I'll have to watch it on my comfy chair (no Spanish Inquisition jokes please) with an alcoholic beverage (or two) by my side.

Wembley normally have more stewards than that.
Can't see the point. 8k in a 90k stadium

I can't see it being dependent on jabs if it's correct that they're proposing lateral flow tests on entry and exit. That suggests they want to see if there's any extensive transmission of the virus during the pilot events.Buggers me then. I'm having my second jab at 11:10 at Sportcity on the day of the match!

To which you will reply "But you can certainly empty it".I will await thick rags on the Monday morning with the old......"you cant even fill Wembley"
Indeed.....good shout.To which you will reply "But you can certainly empty it".
You can't get infected, and then express virus in detectable amounts over such a short time.I can't see it being dependent on jabs if it's correct that they're proposing lateral flow tests on entry and exit.

I am more interested in something I can go to which has very little risk whatsoever which would be trophy parade in Manchester. I know we have to win them first. I will be outdoors, Summer, many adults will have been vaccinated by then. Will it happen though?How can it be the same amount of fans for each side

It will be similar to TNS away with 10k in an 80k stadium.

My thoughts as well. I can see the point in testing before entry by why afterwards?You can't get infected, and then express virus in detectable amounts over such a short time.
