Good. With a severely limited capacity, it would be unfair for some home fans to miss out just so a tiny number of away fans could attend.No away fans is what has been said.
EUFA should move the tie away from Turkey....but they won’t...red list or not.Yet it's fine for 4000 from Manchester and 4000 from Chelsea to fly to Turkey which is in lockdown!
Play it at Wembley and then give Istanbul the next available free date.EUFA should move the tie away from Turkey....but they won’t...red list or not.
Anyone going there should think twice....but some will.
Move it to say Dublin.
Clashes with the play off finals.Play it at Wembley and then give Istanbul the next available free date.
That’s far too logical for EUFA........they are a total bunch of “muppets”Play it at Wembley and then give Istanbul the next available free date.
Fair enough then play it at Spurs Arsenal or West Ham or for less biased to Chelsea CardiffClashes with the play off finals.
Mental. Needs switching to Wembley.Yet it's fine for 4000 from Manchester and 4000 from Chelsea to fly to Turkey which is in lockdown!
villa parkSod Wembley.
Bring it to these shores, but have it somewhere as equidistant as possible between London and Manchester.
It worked very well for many years with the FA Cup semifinals, until the FA moved them to Wembley, which then IMO has devalued the whole point of that stadiums purpose as a venue.
Or as has been said, maybe hold it in Cardiff.
Making nearly 10,000 people travel to Turkey, which will have come out of lockdown just before the final is bizarre. Let it go there next year when they can have a full stadium.
It’s ruined the magic of the cup final hasn’t it. And there are very many grounds that can accommodate large semi final crowds. All about money. They just don’t get it.Sod Wembley.

Peoples lives ? Nope, just move it back here. UEFA will get over it.The problem for UEFA is that they are already committed to Turkey. There are so many facets that make it difficult to change.
Don't disagree with you mate, just pointing out that that arrangements will have been made years in advance for this- hotels will have been taken over for the weekend, flights chartered, venues for hosp. hired, catering etc etc. UEFA won't want to foot that bill and re-arrange all of that for Birmingham (if allowed).Peoples lives ?
