I think it will be moved, but please not OT
Should the CL Final be moved to England? - Moved to Portugal
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Falkland Islands.
Those brown envelopes would have been through the laundry by now.
It did mention about Villa Park on Sky Sports News last night, but the reporter said it's highly unlikely because Villa Park isn't a UEFA Category 5 stadium - i.e. not enough press boxes etc
...but I guess with a heavily reduced attendance due to Covid, surely they could do something?

Maybe it will just mean no fans can go.
There's no choice but to cancel it really. Shame.
It would be absurd to play it in an empty stadium in a country with high Covid case numbers. Absolutely bonkers.
Just cancel it, it’s not as someone cares who wins anyway…
I think Cardiff would be the best choice - in 2017 the final between Real and Juventus was there and it was great.
Yeah, it will give city the edge, they’ll feel at home…
Selhurst Park it should be.
I'd put it in a park where the junkies hang out.
That night in Barcelona.
That night in Istanbul.
That night in Munich.
Years from now;
That night at ..... Villa Park?
Who cares?
jumpers for goalposts
Play it at Edgeley park they will pack it out.
Turkey is having a steep decline in covid cases for the past two weeks, no reason to put restrictions on them given then the final is still a month away.
We pulled out first, so it should be Stamford Bridge.
Well it's where the greatest ever FA Cup semi-final replay goal was scored.
How many FA Cup semifinal replay goals have there been? Can't have been that many over the years.
Why are people mentioning OT at all? Surely not an option with a Manchester club involved. I'd say same for Wembley, though the playoffs have scuppered that already. Lots of other UK stadiums available, if UEFA shock us and decide to be reasonable.
Time for UEFA to their money where their mouth is and do the right thing after them acting acting holier than thou over the big nasty money grabbing super league proposal.
Makes sense. Just give Istanbul dibs on a future one or give them 2 finals in 3 years once this covid stuff is over.
Exactly, that's why it was the best one ever!
No I was playing it down because I'm a Utd supporter and obviously biased towards my club... of course I really believe it was the best FA Cup goal ever - but that's a debate for another time, and another thread.
your obviously United fan!
that night at Villa Park was pretty bloody special!!
that night in Moscow was alright as well
Correct.
There really isn't any other alternative here.
Giggsy would like a word
It is certainly the best in my lifetime.
No such thing exists.your obviously United fan!

Craven Cottage
Something similar would be the best. Small nations don't usually have the chance to arrange such games, now with no attendance, they should get the once in a lifetime chance. Faroe Island, Iceland are good options
Why should Turkey and UEFA accept to move this if it is english government who pt Turkey on red list?
Just play without fans. No problem.

The should play it on the Isle of Man.
Hey now, Villa Park is a great stadium.
They surely have to move it now? The fact they've said they're thinking about options seems to suggest it'll happen.
I don't understand. You say Turkey and UEFA should not move this but you want it played at the Emptyhad?
This would be the simplest option. I don't get why Turkey would even allow fans to attend when they will have just come out of a national lockdown. Either Turkey say no fans or UEFA move it England. If we were in Turkey's situation and the CL final was due to be played at Wembley between 2 foreign teams even Boris wouldn't allow fans.
You don't want City winning the cl at old Trafford. Though old Trafford has had a CL final before. The most boring one ever
Cardiff would be great.
You forgot Moscow
