Undy English Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Half empty stadium, mainly full of locals in cheap knock off shirts and half n half scarves. Zero atmosphere and a running track around the pitch. Well done UEFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, isn't Azerbaijan a muslim country, so they probably couldn't have alcohol anyway. With that said, last UEFA event I went to, once inside the security cordon outside the ground (or inside the ground) the only "alcohol" you could buy was non-alcoholic Carlsberg. Given such a choice between that and the assortment of vastly overpriced title-sponsor fizzy drinks, I think I'd have had water too. No excuses for the half and half shirts though.

East End Old Boy Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 At first I could only see his shoulders, so thought something to do with Gas, then a bit of red, perhaps their new away strip - really confused for a couple of minutes and still am!!!!

Numero Uno Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Two mediocre English teams (in comparison to Man City and Liverpool) with a total of one English player between them at kick off time. Tbh both clubs deserved everything about last night. Didn’t watch a second of it and if these two were playing each other at the Gate and I was offered free tickets I could quite easily carry on walking tbh.

Wanderingred Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 I never had any issues getting a pint in Baku. It's a bit like Istanbul or Tirana in that respect, a very moderate form of Islam with a western vibe. Cool city actually, just nowhere near ready to properly host a game of that magnitude.

It is a Muslim country but just as in England is a Christian country and Ireland is a Christian country it’s vastly different to whatever your image of Muslim country is! Its very moderate and there is smoking, drinking and women of the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
