Quite a difference in expenditure. Bigger stand at Spurs of course but still about 8 times as much as an equivalent foil/cards display Union FS do at Leicester

I liked this one a lot. For what it is I think that's a very reasonable price too. Happy to contribute to these displays.

Nevermind

PM me if you're interested in having a banner, I can help.

I don't think vocal fans are better than non-vocal fans in the sense that they're any more passionate, but I do think their passion is felt more in the stadium because they voice it. Better supporters? No. More 'effective' supporters? Yes I would say so. To me the goal isn't to get everyone singing - not everyone wants to and not everyone can. As long as we can get a decent sized contingent of 1,000 or so singing consistently I'd be fairly content. The singing section is a step towards this.

Well at least they've priced it sensibly

Sevilla the best but I thought the Atletico game had perhaps the most intense spell when the team were hammering the goal. "Come on Leicester!" booming around the stadium.

I've booked these as well. As much as you're gambling money by booking in advance, it's also a gamble not to book if you're determined to attend the final should we get there.

Such an enjoyable day on previous occasions whether you're playing or not. I'm sure it'll be the same again.

I'm delighted this is back for such a big game. I don't think those who sing are necessarily better fans, in the sense that raising your voice doesn't prove you care more about the club. But I do think it's fair to say that vocal supporters are more impactful - that is to say their passionate is felt and reasonates more within the stadium. To everyone attending, make your passion felt, either in the section or elsewhere.

The biggest game we've had one of these, so I'm expecting it to be the best. Also good to see the idea progressing by carrying it into a new competition. Shows there's a reasonable level of buy-in and commitment.

I've also been pinged by track and trace. Tested negative twice since returning however

I had wondered if they'd even let you in if you walked up. Clearly they did. Moot point of course, as we'll probably never play there again

I'm angered we messed up our group so badly, but I'll probably go to the Round of 32 in this provided we don't draw Qarabag. Rodgers and the squad won't take it seriously I expect.

If ever we played there again - unlikely - I'd consider walking. Buy a Napoli hat for cover, don't walk in a large group, and get there 3-4 hours before kick-off.

Our coach has just driven past the ground. Shows how committed they are to keeping us away.

I got on one of the first coaches to leave at 4pm and we're driving in the opposite direction of the stadium currently

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england "If you are returning to the UK within 3 days, you can use the result of a COVID-19 test that you take in the UK before you travel. You must use a private test provider for the test and not an NHS test. The service on which you will arrive back in the UK must set off for the UK within 3 days of when you took the test." So if I take a Lateral Flow test in the UK on Tuesday PM - flying back from Naples on Friday AM - I would, as I understand it, be able to use the result of my Tuesday UK test to board my return flight. In fact I'm not even sure AM and PM matter as it says three days not 72 hours.

It started energetically. Players and fans knew it was a big game and treated it that way to begin with. I think a lot viewed it as 'job done' past a certain point.

*Now Sold*

They were ferociously loud and consistent. Each of them turned up committed to deliver maximum support to their team. That mindset - in isolatation from the uglier features - is something I'd like more of at our club. But if I were to give one European club I admire for their support it would be FC Copenhagen - they had that dedication and organisation but without the darker underside Legia have.

Cup games are a good chance to try things like this, the Wigan section in the season before lockdown was great. Glad the club are taking an interest in this sort of thing.

Pre-ordered one. Smart.

Lovely idea that I'm happy to support. A shame there can't be any foodbank this year but this isn't a bad alternative.

Good stuff yesterday evening. It was bouncing a bit towards the end.
