The Mail Bag

Uefa Cup Final

Now I know that it is too early to be thinking about the Uefa cup final, but after looking on the Uefa website, I found a page about the ticketing arrangements for the Uefa Cup Final. The City of Manchester Stadium holds a capacity of 44,000 and 7,000 tickets will be allocated to the 'European football family' which consists of commercial partners, local organising committees etc. 13,000 tickets will be given to each club to distribute to their supporters. And finally, a further 11,000 will be sold worldwide on uefa.com, and this will be done by a 'lottery scheme.' You basically apply for a ticket and then after the dealine has passed, 11,000 people are picked out of a hat and they will have a ticket. Although its early days, lets all apply for tickets and get a few more blues going to city twice. All the information on the ticket allocations and the link for applying for these tickets can be found on this website. COYB!!!!!

The Uefa website is undergoing maintenance this weekend so you can’t apply for any tickets until Monday.

Tom, there will be a new draw after the Round of 16.

Crikey, I think thats going bit too far. We are in the last 16. Thats it.

There are still several high-quality teams left in the tournament, teams that could equally compete in the last 16 stages of the champions league.

Let's not count our chickens, and spend that effort getting past Fiorentina first.

Actually the quarter final and semis are drawn on the day after the second leg of the Last 16 round (i.e. similar to the draw for Round 32 and 16 in December)

The draw for the quarter & semi finals is on Friday 14th March, presumably at 13.00 as usual.

I haven't been telling anyone cos I want a better chance of getting a ticket myself.
Well done John, you loser!

I would rather have an extra 11,000 Evertonians at the ground, Dave, so therefore I thought I would let people know.
