In Istanbul, are any fans allowed for this one? Be gutting for Man City in particular if they finally make it and can’t have any fans there? If it’s an all English affair is there any point it being in Turkey with no supporters as opposed to maybe being in England with some supporters?

Yeah which could have some fans present if here no doubt....
Turkey goes into Lockdown today.
Crikey....there you go, what’s the point in it being there?Originally Posted by Taunton Blue Genie
The authorities and fans are stuffed, so to speak.
Apparently turkey and Cyprus are in lockdown to get in a good position for the holiday season, not because they're out of control.
Neither BBC nor Reuters seem to mention the holiday factor as the main reason for the Lockdown but other sources are available, of course

Fair dinkum.
Could be an English foursome in the European finals.
yes I'd say there's a decent chance of that
Think it goes to show that the Premier league for all it's sins has to be recognized as the best league in the world.
Four of the greedy ones hey
All the games have been on BT sport does anyone know if the final is on terrestrial tv or sky? Obviously looks like there will be some British interest if not all British interest. It does seem weird that the final will be in Istanbul if there are two British teams and it would be sensible to switch it to the UK if no fans are allowed in in Istanbul but sensible and European football authorities do not go together.
In a way, it would slightly lessen the experience for Man City or Chelsea if they do both get to the final and they end up switching it to Wembley . It would barely seem like a European final, playing a team you play multiple times a year, in a ground you play in multiple times a year . But I suppose if it's that or no fans watching it then it is the lesser of two evils
the bumper TV deals are starting to show. Also premier league clubs seem to be getting smarter, throughout the league (with one or two exceptions)
Wonder if they'll start a Mini-Super-League and play each other 24 times a season ?
I've had it confirmed by a Cypriot. The things I do for transparency.
Well it's clear !
They will probably just move it to Baku or Qatar if left to uefa
You are starting to sound like Mozzer
I can't see this on ReutersYou are starting to sound like Mozzer
The Turkish authorities are now saying their lockdown will end on the 17th May and they expect to allow at least 9000 in the ground and probably a lot more. Turkey is still on the orange list so anyone going is going to have to get a negative test and quarantine for ten days after they get back at the moment. Difficult to make travel plans in those circumstances.
The Europa final in in Poland,Gdansk, probably two British teams involved there too.
