I'm surprised the other mentioned area (Výstaviště) is in the north Prague 7 area also. Still keeps all the riff raff on the other side of the bridge away from the Old Town.

Even if they don't have them now, a few big screens and they could sell out the Stadium. Will 19 points be enough? Here we go again!!

I believe it will be the later with separate fan zones like in Seville for ticketless to watch on big screens.

Apparently there are 3 ticket checks at the stadium before the turnstiles and anyone trying to get in with out a valid ticket will be transported to a holding area out of town and won’t get to see the match.

It seems like the policing is going to be very strict at the 3 finals this year after what happened in Paris. Basically if you don’t have a valid ticket don’t go near the stadiums or you will miss the game seems to be the message.

A local taxi driver got me a ticket when I was working out in Bratislava when Slovan Bratislava played against Chelski. The old bill out there do not mess about.

One chav pushed a steward trying to get in without a ticket and was immediately whacked with Batons by old Bill and thrown into the back of van.

A good watch as I was there as a neutral .... the game wasn't so good as the chavs won

Are we calling Chelsea ‘the chavs’ now?

Not sure bashing the working class is a good look.

It’s like when Spurs call us ‘the p*keys’ just sounds a bit muggy.

I still don't get why the Spuds call us that? I mean, we have always called The Bermondsey lot that, back in the day.

But then again, that does sound like the deluded lot, calling us that, as they never seem to lead, only follow...

Like their song, is nicked from the Saints (oh when the Saints go marching in).

They call us a name, that we use for Mi//w@//.

I think it's because they are so far behind their rivals that they have to compensate some where by pretending to be something they aren't?

One thing they can't copy at the moment, is being in a Cup final...let's hope we don't copy them by losing it!!

Back on topic...isn't it typical that our "owners" won't put their hands in their pockets to organise a fanzone in London? I blame Brady. She has zero business intelligence in terms of customer satisfaction and loyalty schemes. This is the best chance they have to bridge the game between the fans and the board and she once again misses a trick!!

I'll be in Prague, so I'm not that bothered but it shows how small time Brady and Sullivan are and how much they think of us!

Quite glad watching it from home with mates round. Bbq first followed by watching on a comfy sofa with the best drinks readily available. Wish I had that 77" tv down at currys though.

Not only will it not fit I don't have a spare 3k.

I think Sullivan and Brady are well aware of the hatred towards them and think f *** the fans tbh.

To be fair we are towards the top of the π-key spectrum, Spurs call us it, we call Millwall it and Millwall call Gillingham it.

To be even fairer, no one really cares what Spurs do or say.......

I wonder if they'll remove the seating, be like watching in a cinema otherwise.

You like to think so, if they don't I'd imagine most people will just stand on them anyways, and/or smash em up and chuck it at the screen if the referee / VAR is pony :crylol:

Ballycastle is a sedate little seaside town with a high street jammed with pubs so I don't see any issue getting to see it on the telly.

A West Ham fan cheering on West Ham in a European final will be met with curiosity, mild enthusiasm and a little pity.
:crossed: Thank you, much appreciated. I don't usually attract trouble but don't want to have to curb my enthusiasm (or dismay) too much.

We've got our tickets for the Colour fields fan park in Hackney Wick.

The Railway Bell in South Woodford usually gets a good hammers crowd in. Can get quite busy so best to get their early. I assume O'Neil's in Leytonstone will have back area open for the final.
