Topic: Where to watch the champs league final

[scouser102002]

Guess just maybe not the Anfield Road end if stage being built etc

How many stands were open for the final last year?

[Funky_Gibbons]

I’ve got tickets to see Muse at the London stadium this night...

Great excuse not to go now, that’s lucky.

I had ticket to see Ed Sheeran last year, fucked it right off, got beat and didn`t regret fucking it off one bit, the town was buzzing

[gerrardisgod]

Managed to book 3 hotel rooms last night for £63 a room. 6 of us coming up. Are the club showing the final on screens at Anfield? If not, is The Sandon open that night?

The Sandon had a giant screen outside last year, with a fucking YouTube stream on, about a minute behind, took me right out of it.

All of them were open last year I think.

[jackh]

I see absolutely no reason why they can't do it just because there is a concert 5 days later.

The pitch area is not needed at all

Could be a staffing issue.

My understanding is that a lot of the behind-the-scenes matchday staff (who are there hours before the gates open) are under a lot of pressure with the ~25+ home matches, training days, and the new allowance for concerts.

It's a second job for most, and any game/event that falls outside of the norm has the potential to require time off from the first job.

Ah gutted if it doesn't happen. I've promised people I'm taking them now.

Did someone mention the Echo Arena?

Well don't worry based just on my word - I don't know anything - but I'm inclined to think that would be the bigger issue, rather than pitch condition/stage-building, etc.

[D🐶G]

I’d be surprised if the club put the big screens on taking into account the Take That concert. Turnaround time isn’t an issue for stadiums like Wembley but can see it being an issue for us unfortunately. Do hope I’m wrong though. Bet they’ll have screenings in the Kop Bar and that’s it, if the big screens aren’t an option.

Did the club have hospitality lounges open and packages including a sit down meal for last seasons final too? Seem to remember something going on sale close to the final?

[wellred82]

Will be watching it at home. Dad coming over.

I'm actually arriving back in the UK from Manila literally hour before kick off.

Only the kop and Anny Rd as far as I know

[El_Pistolero7]

Only the kop and Anny Rd as far as I know

Kop, Lower main, Anfield road, and lower kemlyn

[Jinxsy]

It's going to be weird, but I'm in Istanbul on the 1st.
Might just go back to the Attaturk and do that mad walk across the wasteland before the stadium and wait for the local chancers to try and sell us alcohol free bevvies at £5 a bottle again.

Good times.

[HeartAndSoul]

Was in concert square for most of the day (fantastic atmosphere) and went to Anfield for the game screening last year. If they do the screening will probably go there again.

What is there to turnaround? It’s a few TV screens.

Wheel them on, then wheel them back off

Well Take That can fuck off then, can’t they. Scruffy manc twats.  This is a bit more important than a bunch of meffs who still haven’t learnt how to play any instruments 30 years after starting a “band” mincing about on a stage and shouting out of tune.

[fridge]

guys i am from germany, currently living in malta, i consider going to liverpool/madrid for the  finals, what would you realise is better (madrid without a ticket of course). How are the hotel prices in liverpool, basically would only need a room to sleep in.

Last year it was almost impossible to get a hotel in Liverpool. People traveled from far and wide to be in the city for the final and this year will be the same. The earlier you try to find a hotel the better

[farawayred]

I was wondering myself where I can catch the Barcelona-Juve CL final...

You say that but we're having to try and rent Spurs' stadium for a pre-season game because Pink or somebody is playing at Anfield around that date.

[davidlpool1982]

Wouldn't Take That use big screens? I have no idea on the logistics of this sort of thing so am probably talking out of my arse, but couldn't we just do the Take That set up early and use that? They'll have standing room already planned out for the concert layout with ways to bars etc already there and most bands have huge screens so the plebs who can't afford a 100 quid ticket (or whatever it is) at the back can still see.

You do realize the 2020 CL Final is in the Attaturk....get your spec now...

Couldn’t agree more, but reading lots about it being an issue. Do hope it’s all wrong though and they do put the screenings on.

Already pretty much nothing available and those that are, are ridiculous prices as well.

That’s due to us relaying the pitch though isn’t it? Still, the last I heard on that is that the club still plan on having a home friendly regardless of this on the week before the new season. Spurs stadium is an option due to Wembley, Dublin and Cardiff not being options on the date we want.

Doubt that’ll prevent them doing it. Even if the stage is up at one end.

[meady1981]

We need to have a little patience.

[Medellin]

Anyone who can't get to the game or to a boozer etc...BT sports are screening it free.

What sort of excuse is that, they could just employ some more!

It's 4 days no?

Concert will load out in hours not days, same with screens. Bump in you're talking 24 hours at most.

[Sudden Death Draft Loser]

Could be a massive problem for me. I usually watch such games with a few mates, who support: Man Utd, A. Villa and West Ham. They are all of the strange breed who support any English team in Europe. However, a Spurs fan works on the floor below, he will get invited by the landlord (one of those mentioned above), he's a racist, has extreme hate for Liverpool fans and Salah. He's also potentially violent. This is a nightmare.

[ollyfrom.tv]

What hotel was this mate?

Stonedale Park Travelodge

[sms1986]

I’m sure you can make better arrangements than watching it with a racist, Liverpool-hating Spurs fan. You could probably go down the zoo and watch it in the Polar Bear enclosure and have a better time.

He could take his spurs loving liverpool hating rascist mate with him, the spurs fan would probably put a bid in for the polar bear..sounds like he has Buy polar disorder

So last year had a wedding (not mine) , that came down too either you check your phone in the toliet for the score or you cant follow it, jibbed off the wedding. 

That friendship ain't recovered and bled into same group of mates, as another wedding from same group of mates was not invited on the back of it, this lad has ended up working for  spurs and will be sorted for Madrid.

Hope this all has a happy ending mainly with reds winning number 6.     

[D🐶G]

Fully agree that it shouldn’t be an issue whatsoever. Just going off what I’ve read and do know someone who has rang the club up querying it and they’ve been told it won’t be happening.

Fingers crossed that’s wrong though.

[Roady]

I live about a four hour drive from Madrid so going to get a car load of us and go up. Worked okay for me for once!

[InRetrospect]

Barlow is a Liverpool fan, he'd probably rather there be a screening than not due to Take That.

I think I read your story last year! Your "mate" sounded like a massive bellend. There will plenty more stories like that with Spurs there as well, I think.
