    Turkey on the red list

    So the plastic fans won't be able to make the trip to the Billionaire's final.

    Why on earth was this game being played in Turkey anyway? It should have been rescheduled for Wembley.

    Here's the red list.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...Israel-17.html
    Won't effect me, we don't go abroad anymore.
    But if we did, we would give it a miss this year.

    Can't be held at Wembley as things stand Phil', that's playoff weekend.

    Millennium Stadium would be a better choice.

    A far better stadium than Wembley as well.

    Doesn't even have to be a big stadium, just any size that would allow the maximum safe number of supporters as a trial event. Might as well play it on a park's pitch to be honest though as I and I guesstimate many others won't bother paying for the subscription to watch it anyway. Again.

    Hi, according to the rules the stadium has to have a 60k seats, which rules aston out.

    Sod the rules, hardly anyone will be sat in them anyway. What's the difference between playing in a largely empty stadium with less empty and unneeded seats, and a largely empty bigger stadium with even more unneeded seats? Just more unneeded seats. That's it. Completely pointless red tape for the sake of red tape......







    ........ and before I forget FTV anyway 😊 .

    A good job too. It would have been absolute lunacy to have thousands of fans visiting a country which has the highest infection rate in Europe. I don't mind if it's played in Istanbul behind closed doors or in this country. It would make sense to play it over here though.

    Personally, I couldn’t care less about the CL final, I don’t subscribe to BT Sport and I don’t even bother looking at the results. Play it on Mars for all I care.
