Anyone knows how many of us will be in the final? Less than 10k?... What about the Spanish?
 
Quite a few blues in pockets around Monistaraki This morning.Usual old faces having a late breakfast. So many places to eat and drink around side streets from the square. Temperature more manageable so far than I expected.Enjoy the trip everyone who’s making it.

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!

Gates open at 19.00, go there and ask for help. There are a lot of volunteers to provide assistance.

Just go and don't worry, it's time to see City live.
 
Not that this is likely but my starting XI tomorrow would be...

................Ortega...............
..Stones ..Dias ...Laporte
......Phillips ..Gavardiol.....
Foden ..Kovacic ..Grealish
......Alvarez ..Haaland........
  • Ortega as a sign that he's staying.
  • Stones and Dias fit again, hopefully
  • Laporte and Philips to surprise us as being in Peps plans still and/or being in the shop window
  • Ake and Rodri on the bench if needed.
Unlikely but you never know.
