Nice one Digger!!  Unfortunately, I can't go - small matter of paying for an extension and a kitchen.

My brother's going - having gone to every away game in Europe this season he was guaranteed a seat.  I see that Liverpool's application for more tickets has fallen on deaf ears at UEFA.  Ridiculous really, as they'll still be 40,000 Liverpool fans in there on the 23rd.

Have a good one, and hopefully we can celebrate in Dublin!!

Ones returned by AC Milan.

63,000 capacity stadium. 

Uefa has given each club 17,000 tickets while 20,000 are for the 'Uefa family' with 9,000 having been sold by ballot.

They did in 2005.

The thing is, with the way UEFA allocate the tickets it just means that many Liverpool fans (who will be in the majority), will have to resort to buying overpriced tickets on the black market if they want a ticket.  At the same time, season ticket holders at Liverpool are not guaranteed tickets as they are entered into a ballot.  Sounds a bit like APAT actually...

It was the same thing in 2005, and you could see which club most of the fans followed.  It just means legitimate fans who want to go have to shell out hundreds of pounds to touts - rather than them being allocated by whatever means by the club.

I guess AC fans are getting bored of constantly making it to the CL final!

I don't think I could ever get bored of it.  Got a funny feeling that Milan will be more interested in it this time though.  Favourites as they were two years ago - but I don't think they'll be taking it for granted this time round.  No matter what ferguscum says.

For sure, they also have to secure 3rd place in the league so will be pressing there.

No 2 teams have has as much success over the last 30 years as Milan and Liverpool, so although everyone will agree they are not the best 2 teams in Europe it should make for a cracking final.

I just hope its Milan this time :D

Against chavski we might have been, but other than that, have you watched many of our games?

Also worth remembering that we don't do dull finals.

I thought I had, perhaps I've just caught the iffy ones :D

Yes you do good finals though, I'll give you that!

Shame your not going mate.....make room for another star!

Win or not we'll have a great time, I do think we will have to be in top shape to win it again, if we are then i think it's even money for me.

I've got a huge flag (12' x 6').....any ideas for a slogan?
