It’s idiotic obviously but I guess no one travels in such numbers as the English. If this was an all Spanish final for example there’d probably be far loss fuss (not that that makes it right).
The cynic in me says it was a deliberate choice so they could offload a huge batch of "corporate" tickets to their army of sponsors. Do they not realise supporters might be able to fly into a different airport and travel by land the rest of the way?
