Yeah seen that this morning, that's one group so i suppose much easier to switch to say Manchester and have games in Old Trafford and Etihad.
Munich and Budapest from Group F similar again could just switch to somewhere with Two stadiums Liverpool, Birmingham for example (haven't included London due to London already hosting games) |
City plan on ripping the pitch up at the end of the season and putting in a complete new system and Old Trafford is consider not up to tournament standard by UEFA

In what way?

Think it was something about areas behind goals for warm up/ advertising space |
Yea run off areas around the pitch are banked which is the big issue and the main one. There's loads of other elements which have been made known to them when the went to bid for finals. There's been no work to the ground in over 10 years. If they did get the 2030 world cup it will need a major face lift

Mental to think that a great stadium like Old Trafford is not up to scratch but some people think Thurles GAA is capable of hosting world cup games

Don't think it will happen but shouldn't they postpone it to August and by then far more people in Europe will be vaccinated?

You can log in and put your ticket up for refund until 19th April. You probably won't see the money hitting your bank account until after the tournament though.

And if I hold out and they move the matches elsewhere I lose out?

OT is a legend of a stadium and looks great on TV but is a kip by modern stadium standarsds. Tiny seats with awful legroom, tiny concourse areas for halftime pints.

I was in it once. Celtic Park is the same way though. Went to an old firm game and there was about 1 ft legroom if that in the 'posh seats'. Think there was more legroom behind the goals when we were there in 2014.
If that's bad what is Semple Stadium? |

Fkn Hell, I thought Parc Des Princes in Paris was showing it's age when I went to the Euro 2016 match between Romania and Switzerland. My seat was in the front row of the upper West stand and I had a big wall right in front of me with very little leg room and the fans in the rows behind me looked to also have very little legroom.

A few things.
Assuming the games are moved then fans who kept their tickets for Dublin will be offered another chance of a refund. Otherwise it is a lottery for tickets although not too many losers for Sweden v Slovakia I guess.
Your money is safe with UEFA and in the end you will either get a refund or tickets. If the games get moved you will have another chance to claim a refund before the ticket ballot. I'm holding out as long as possible.
Bilbao is a battle between the Basque government and the Spanish Federation. The Basques have said fans are allowed but only under certain conditions which are impossible to meet. It always seemed a strange one to me.

Selhurst Park the worst I've been in for legroom. Was standing and it was still a squeeze

The last time I was in Selhurst park in the away end, I stood in the spot where my seat should have been.

The old Wembley behind the goals when we played them in the 1-1 draw was as bad as i have seen , i recall my legs were cuts to bits when we scored from jumping up and down .

Yes, Old Trafford is rather tatty these days and no longer a UEFA Category A stadium.
From two years ago, but still applies. Nothing has changed since.

UEFA look set tomorrow to take our matches away. They're looking at Tottenham as a replacement. I presume automatic refunds for everyone now?

I’d say they’ll have more pressing issues to deal with tomorrow.
