Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Just wants to concentrate on his club football for the moment.

A new addition to the "What I learned today" thread.

He’ll still be there, even if he goes to BM.

I wonder what genius was in charge of the ticket allocation for the final? 5000 tickets each, i reckon West Ham will bring 30000 over to Prague and Fiorentina's fans will probably travel in numbers as its their first final in years.

I can understand the decision to select venues and cities that wouldn't traditionally be in line for hosting major finals, but a 20,000 seater stadium is significantly lower that what is necessary, and lower than the capacity in Tirana, last season. Last year, the alternative final would have been Leicester v Marseille. This year, Basel v Alkmaar. These team's fans will travel. No matter what way you look at it, 40k should be the standard, simply from a crowd control point of view. People will travel en masse from London and Florence (and elsewhere), without tickets. The small capacity will create a secondary market for tickets, which is also problematic and encourage touting.

I think UEFA will start taking notice and in due course start holding it at bigger venues. But that won't help much in the immediate term, as most WH fans won't even get a sniff of a ticket.

Yeah it's a bit silly having them in stadiums that small, there's plenty of "alternative venues" that would never host CL/El final that would have bigger attendances.

Not hard, tbh. Not sure I can remember the sale of a player for a profit
