Jimburst Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12  That is serious long term disappointment. Respect to the Stoke fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked up the first 2 Seasons of the Football League, they finished bottom both seasons with respective GD of -25 & -42. Never stood a chance really, poor sods.

Yorkie Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Of all the competitions to have a fixture or two in America it might as well be that one. There's very little that's sacred about the Champions League and it's not grounded in any one location, unless you count 'Europe' as one location. I'm sure the fans of Real Madrid could stomach having to give one final a miss. Â Any domestic competition and it's another story imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Don’t have too much of a problem with the final being held in the u.s as it’s at a neutral ground anyway. All previous stages should be held at the grounds of the teams playing. one of the reasons the champions league is so great is because of the big atmosphere’s created. If you go to the U.S you will lose that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hypothetically if the first CL Final we made it to was in the US (East coast) how many of our fans do you think would make the trip? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Is anyone still tracking the league champion where it was treated like a boxing championship?  I remember it was a thing a couple of years back on here but not sure if it’s still being monitored or who was doing it.
