don't think whoever is in charge Goverment people? agreed about changing quantine

Yes that's exactly why the final could not be played in the UK. I'm not totally against this stance. If the game went ahead at Wembley without covid incident the government would get no credit. If it went wrong, and there was an outbreak, they would be blasted. Whether it went well or went badly they would be accused of double standards. I despise Boris Johnson and his crew but I don't think we could reasonably expect them to make any other decision on this issue.

This video gives me goosebumps every time

Especially from timestamp 1:33 min. 

You can really see the frustration and sadness on our face after Müller scores.

Just watching Cech's penalty save in the extra time against Robben. Today, the ref would have it re-taken as Cech was clearly not on the line 😅 Dear lord, I cannot imagine such drama if that actually happens.

If it goes to extra time, should Kepa replace Mendy for the pens ?

The people in the ticket office dealing with these queries will not have the power to make those decisions.

If the club has allocated a certain number to charter packages then the people at the ticket office won't be in a position of power to resell these as something different unless someone higher up in the club gives the go ahead.

I'm not even sure what power Chelsea have over this matter. I'm sure I read somewhere that UEFA originally wanted all the tickets to be as a charter package but City and Chelsea argued to spread the allocations.

Its not about the ticket office staff having the authority to resell the packages. Its about them saying the tickets were sold out when they clearly weren't sold out.

Again though, a genuinely big club  in England would have easily had enough fans to buy up all the tickets no matter what price they were going for.

Its not like we had an allocation of 20,000 +.  We could not sell 5,800 tickets for the biggest game our club can play in. The fans have massively let down and embarrassed the club! They've showed piss poor passion and commitment towards the club and I can see the consequences of this hurting the club for a long time to come, because who in their right mind would spend a shit load of money building a 60,000 seated stadium after this insulting no show by the fans?

The tickets for what people wanted were sold out though and I would assume that they are directed by the club of what to inform fans.

This whole episode in my opinion is on the club, unless they've been directed by UEFA that they can't re-package. They should have managed this better. If those tickets were re-packaged they would have been sold out immediately. I'm pretty certain there will end up being more Chelsea fans travelling over there without tickets than those 800-900 tickets unsold.

I assume you've brought a ticket and are going over there, given how angry you are with Chelsea fans for not going?

Hardly ever go into a game feeling -fuck this is going to end horribly - but this time ....how many minutes before Jorginho gets his first yellow ?

Just to follow this up a little but Chelsea Supporters Trust have come out and said that UEFA controlled the whole ticketing process, not Chelsea and wouldn't allow the charter package tickets to be sold in any other way hence why they had to be returned.

As per usual it looks like UEFA are doing their standard disservice to fans, which to me is a far bigger problem than the 'my club's bigger than yours' rubbish that arises from sensationalised stories like this one.

Nahh it does make sense. Just shame they've tried to make it more money money by selling things high. But guess airlines also have cause demand..cash in and all.
