    They have just said on Sky Sports, in the build up to the Milan vs United game, that there is a rumour that if United get past Milan tonight, the final could be held "a little closer to home" (Webley?)

    What would people think about that? I assume some liverpool fans have already booked hotels and flights, i presume they wouldn't be happy with having to lose money on canceled flights.

    I do think it would be a good idea though, as most people wouldn't head to london til the day of the game, and leave after it, so you would reduce the amount of time fans would be congregating together.

    Juve and AC met in Old Trafford, I seriously doubt that they would change it.

    The money they'd lose refunding Athens would never be compensated for by making life easier for football fans

    All the people who've booked flights and hotels in Athens would be pretty upset too. Not gonna happen.

    its not like the CL is run for the benefit of fans of the football clubs who make it, no chance that UEFA would move this unless the greeks were seriously worried about the potential trouble between Utd and pool fans. Never going to happen, imo.

    Dont think there ever was. There's not a hope they'd have moced it. Athens will have been prepareing for months. The far too much organisation gone in to just decide to up sticks and move it elsewhere.

    I really wish Liverpool would get to final closer to home though. What the hell was wrong getting to Paris last year? Bloody finals at the other end of Europe.

    Nothing truly worth having ever comes easy.
