Spent all day walking around Monastiraki area. We found that there were possibly more bar type places over the other side of the main road from the square down the side streets, literally a 30 second walk. Still alot of eateries but a few blues dotted around drinking. I don't know the names of the streets but if you find the Alice in Wonderland street, The kook (not a bar but you can't miss it) you are in the right area.

Am in Piraeus, seen a couple of Blues. Where is everyone?

I believe Dias is still allowed to train under concussion protocols, but not allowed to play. Would explain why he’s travelled

Hey guys,

I happen to be in Athens now, and have seen on the UEFA website there's still tickets available for the game. There's only category 1 tickets (120 euros), but my family emigrated from the UK when I was young, and accordingly I've never had the chance to see City play except on the TV despite supporting for over a decade. So I'd be willing to pay the cost for this as it's a one off and I'll probably never get to see them play live again.

Thing is, I was in an accident a month ago and am walking around on crutches. There's no disability access seats available left, only these category 1 tickets. I can climb up stairs - slowly - but not loads and loads of them, and certainly not in a big crowd.

I'd obviously be willing to arrive early and just leave the stadium after the initial crowds have filtered out, but I'm unsure how the system works here.

If you buy a ticket can you just turn up at the ground an hour or so beforehand and get let in? As I'd want to get seated and settled in before a mass of people arrives at the turnstiles, as I'm well aware I'm just going to piss people off hugely going up stairs at the pace of a 100 year old man, and I don't really want to risk getting knocked over in the crowd either.

Does anyone know approximately how many steps there are to get to a seat in the category 1 section of the stadium and if it's gonna be remotely feasible to climb them on crutches?

Thanks for any help. If it's not really gonna be possible to make it work I'll still be supporting from one of the bars so might see you there!

For those of you in Athens already, where are folks congregating that you've seen?

1894 group mentioned 1. Monastiraki Square 2. Kolokotroni Street bars 3. Agia Irini Square as meetup points

However they also said we had been allocated somewhere they referred to as "City Square Piraeus" but I don't see anywhere called that on the map - there's the official UEFA fan festival at Korai Square in Pireaus, but 1894 said that was different from whatever "City Square" they were talking about - it might just be some meetup point for entering the ground

Just curious as it would be nice to know where to go once we get into town

If you come out of the Metro at D Theatro there is a square there ahead and to the left.

Its the UEFA fan zone( baseball cap 35 fooking Euros) and Im told the City fan zone is nearby.
