No, it'll be a decent game if we're not there aslong as its not city.

The whole 'local ballot' is a fucking joke though.

The Aviva Stadium is a sporting stadium located in Dublin, in Ireland, with a capacity for 51,700 spectators[5][6] (all seated). It is also commonly known as Lansdowne Road while UEFA refers to it as the Dublin Arena.

)

couldn't believe it when I saw it - why they wanted to build a window instead of a stand I've no idea

It's 'cos the houses at the back would be deprived of direct sunlight. If it wasn't for that, and if the stadium went all around at the same height, then it'd be world class(ish).

Also, about 2 miles across the Liffey is a stadium called Croke Park (currently 83,000 cap.) which has no roof on it at one end either and just terracing due to the same reason. That stadium WOULD be world class if it was completed.

Pathetic if you ask me. Probably wouldn't get that in any other capital city in the world. 2 potentially world class stadiums within a mile or two of each other, but fall(fail) at the final hurdle for the reason above.

Interesting (but still strange)

Wonder how the seating allocations will work. One finalist will have a traditional end terrace I guess whilst the other will be mainly at the side??

i reckon if liverpool get to the final, no matter who we are playing, it will be 80% red. all locals will be liverpool supporters.
