Guest smoggeordie Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Champions League football could be returning to Tyneside next month, after it was confirmed that St.James' Park is one of the grounds under consideration to host the upcoming AC Milan versus Celtic tie. New measures being implemented in Italy after the recent disturbances on Sicily mean that Milan would only be able to host the tie (scheduled for March 7th) at home behind closed doors. However the Serie A side are now reported as actively seeking an alternative venue, with vice-president Adriano Galliani commenting: "It's obvious we want to play at the San Siro with open doors and as far as the Champions League is concerned, yesterday I spoke to Platini and we are free to play at home, maybe behind closed doors, or away. "Geneva and Newcastle have offered to let us play there. I think it's fundamentally unjust to close a stadium like the San Siro on which we have already spent 20 million euros for works which are never-ending." The Glasgow club have played friendly matches on Tyneside twice in the last decade (Beardsley and Shearer testimonials). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Would be great! Although, it's supposed to be a home game for Milan, and if it takes place at St James' Park, it probably swings Celtic's way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 We've released a club statement which doesn't make sense. Think its saying that it probably wont happen, but they aren't sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smoggeordie Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 FOLLOWING reports that St. James' Park could be considered as a venue for the Champions League game between AC Milan and Glasgow Celtic scheduled for Wednesday, March 7, Newcastle United has issued the following statement: "We did receive an enquiry about this possibility although logistically there are several difficulties. "The calendar shows a home fixture in the UEFA Cup 24 hours later if we qualify for the last 16." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It wont happen. Milan will want the game as close to Italy as possible. Exactly, I wouldn't want to come here if I was them. It would be like 2 home games for Ceptic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It wont happen because we might possibly be playing 24 hours later and we dont want the pitch wrecked, also its alot of money for Milan fans to pay to get here. Although, brownie points that will swing in our favour when we swoop for Kaká and Pirlo in the summer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
