Big Screens in Athens - ITV News Last Night

[ManxRed]

I don't know how many people are possibly reading this from an internet cafe or whatever in Athens, but I watched the tail end of an ITV news report from Athens last night on the box, and this interesting snippet was mentioned;

 

They reported that the many many fans who have travelled hoping to get tickets out there, and who ultimately fail to get any, may well resign themselves to watching the game on the huge screens erected in Athens town centre. However the reporter was pretty certain that these screens were going to be turned off during the match itself.

 

(a) shurely shome mishtake?

(b) In the words of the Kaiser Chiefs, "Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby"*

 

 

 

 

* - No, hang on, that's the wrong Kaiser Chiefs song.

 

Seriously, there's be a right old kick off if they turn those off tonight. Anyone else heard about this?

a Liverpool fan has organised a screening at the old gas works in Athens Was on sky news a while ago.

Uefa have said that the fans park will finish at 7 and they will not show the game. Madness!

 

No idea if there are any other individual plans tho?

Aye, there was someone on North West Today thie morning saying that the screens won't be showing the game. The pubs will be busy, then.

The pubs will be busy, then.

 

Athens pub owners would probably have rioted otherwise.
