Champions league final

[goats]

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?

Every chance now of it being an all English affair.

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

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.

Re: Champions league final

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.
