I love the fact they’ve done this for everything this season it takes the worry away.

But. If we got to a final. Are they saying here they would use a previous season’s credits?

On their website/twitter/facebook accounts etc - they often invite people to register interest and then they email you with an update on the plans.
Their plan is to be on sale Monday at 10am, same time as the first ticket sales.

I updated on the other thread but just in case anyone doesn’t see the sport options trip isn’t going ahead due to demand.

Reasonable ticket price. I'm pretty sure SD post is only £6.85 for a football ticket envelope though!

It is but that’s only insured for up to £500, the club have opted to use the next one up which is £7.85 and is insured for up to £1K.

Got everything booked for Milan - was sceptical at first, but feels like it's going to happen now and looking more likely

Hopefully we won't have to mess about with tests by then also

Hope you're right but if I had to punt I'd say it's more likely that it will be more stringent rather than less

I booked the day after draw day anyway but yes I agree, it’s looking more likely now although of course things could still change although I’ve always been optimistic and not pessimistic, especially after the last 18 months. I’m sick of the constant doom and gloom, need something to look forward to.

What allocation did atletico get for the san siro tonight?

Under current restrictions they will have probably got 2000 as Italy is at 50% capacity (but I couldn't be certain)

Italy meant to be going to 75% by mid October, so if that it is the case we should get 3000ish

Yes but also nothing that suggests that away fans will not be allowed. Anyway, they can’t ban away fans if the ground is at 100% capacity.

It definitely bodes well for at least some kind of allocation and is clearly positive news compared to the usual doom and gloom of a few weeks ago re. no allocation at all.

Definitely prospects are a lot better than they were.

San Siro? Saw this on social media:

The contest was a frenetic one, played out in front of a wild atmosphere at San Siro – although only 50 percent full – that saw Milan capitalise first with Rafael Leao opening the scoring in the 20th-minute.

Anyone know if there was an away allocation for the SAN Siro this week?

PaulKS · « **Reply #178 on:** September 30, 2021, 09:39:32 am »

Better news:

The all-clear is expected over the next few days for Italian stadiums to open up to 75 per cent capacity, with a plan to reach 100 per cent by the end of October.

Yeah, I think it's a sensible move by the club and one I am pleasantly surprised by.

Sensible but might potentially have consequences regarding allocation if we reach the final, who gets priority - those who went to matches this year with credits that aren't to be used or those who sat out this season but have full credits from previous seasons?

There is a very long time till the final.

The club have said Porto (so far) won't be used at all as a credit. But there will be the potential for credit and allocations to go up if things improve

Come last 16 everything could be fine and dandy, and it could be that the last 16 forward may be used as credits

If that doesn't happen, and if we make the final expect that they will use last season

Ditto! Obviously apart from wanting to watch us play anywhere, its the only 1 of the 'big 6' grounds (in my opinion) that I've never seen us play at as I didn't go the last time we played there back in 2008.

Quick question for those that went to Portugal, if fully vaccinated did you need to do a pre departure covid test or was your NHS covid pass enough to get on?

Ryanair refused boarding to some people who couldn’t provide proof of a Covid PCR test. All changes on the 4th October.

What's the change in October?

Just need a day 2 test on return to UK? No test needed for fully vaccinated prior to departure?

No although Spanish grounds are back up to 100% capacity so that sounds promising.

Billy Elliot · « **Reply #198 on:** October 4, 2021, 10:10:49 am »

Isn't it more down to politics than the Clubs?

If the Italian/Spanish governments see us as high risk, then they can stop us coming in. Having grounds back at 100% is a bit different to allowing in large amounts from another country, especially a non EU country.

It'll come down to how many COVID cases we/they have closer to the time.

I could be completely wrong, like.
