Would a LFC v MUFC final be switched to wembley

[Anny Road]

Hypothetical I know but I think 80k people converging on Athens could be a recipe for disaster. Just the excuse UEFA would need to kick us out of Europe for a few years.

I know this is miles of yet but I cannot see one reason for keeping a final like this in a foriegn land.

It may piss of the Greek FA but they could be promised another top match.

Would Uefa have the bollocks to do it.

It's a great idea, but I can't see it happening. They didn't switch the Juve/ Milan final from old toilet a few years back, despite there being continual violence in Serie A.

 

It's worrying this recent 'upsurge' in police brutality at a time when- once again- English teams are favourites in European competition. But that's coincidence, surely...?

[G Richards]

I'd imagine it will be too difficult to switch. Athens was awarded this final several years ago (I presume) and I'm sure loads of preparations will have been made. They would have incurred substantial costs thus far, and they would rightly be coming to UEFA with a big compensation claim if it was switched.

 

Another reason why it won't be switched is because the finalists will only be known by 2nd May. The final is three weeks later and this is not enough time to organise such an event.

I think fans would die watching that game from heart attacks and that. I think my heart would just explode at some point. Losing would be unthinkable.

90% of trouble at European games involving away fans involves English teams, that's no coincidence.

Get Bob Geldof in he could do it that time.

Maybe Cardiff, not Wembley. The Greeks would need one hell of a sweetener though. However, I think the logistics of rearranging it after the semis is achievable.

 

The possibility of us v the mancs in any foreign city doesn't bear thinking about. Maybe that's what Platini would like.......

 

Anyway, let's just hope Roma do 'em.

No way imagine how much money Athens would miss out on having all those people there in hotels and shops etc.

Give em their marbles back?

[Sangria]

It will go ahead in Athens and we can only hope the mancs do not make it.

Sorted!

[El Rojo]

I really don't want to play them in the final. I'd have a nervous breakdown during the match and die of either happiness or sadness at the final whistle.

Same here mate.

It'd be either the worst night or best night* of me life.

I'm sure there would be a significant English policing presence over there, were we to meet United in the final. They'd probably have English bobbies travelling with both sets of fans, on the streets with their Greek colleagues and advising the Greek police force. I can't see the two clubs not being aware of the potential for mayhem.

Charley Knight is over there, he'll sort them all out!

the youth cup final will be bad enough

Yeah and the Mancs would have their PR machine in full force already blaming us for anyhting that might go off.

 

Oh, and as a side, I thought PSV was a quaterfinal, not a semi-final.

 

That fat Norwegian lady in a Viking hat is definately singing, but the tune isn't done yet.
