    Can't believe that football's governing bodies can be so moronic. I have just seen that the ticket allocation for the final against Ajax is a paultry 9,500 tickets for each club - this is despite the fact that the stadium in Stockholm holds 50,000. The remaining 30,000+ tickets are neutral ones, corporate hospitality and so on - disgracefull. This is a first European final for Ajax in 20 years, and both clubs could have sold 5 times this number. Just shows that supporters are the last consideration these days.

    It's all about the football family my man.

    United could have comfortably sold a 100k tickets mate, no problem.

    Ah well.

    It does make you laugh to be honest, im sure both clubs could easily take 10 times that many supporters. Why play the final in such a small stadium too? There are probably 20 grounds bigger than that in Europe.

    Something really needs to be done about the dick heads making these decisions. It's not even logical to give the actual fans less than 40% of the ground.

    It makes it even worse when youve got 2 massive clubs like ourselves and Ajax in the final.
