McTeeko Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Confirmed by Czech FA for Olomouc, 130 miles from Prague. Edited July 22, 2020 by McTeeko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Quote These have mainly been matches against less attractive opposition where a relatively small crowd is expected, and it has therefore been unnecessary to play the match in Prague. 12,566 capacity. Not much room to spread out. Looks like they are not lifting restrictions then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 This has been picked due to its location as being close to the Slovak border and the Czech Republic playing in Bratislava a few days later (so saves on travel). Part of me does suspect they know away fans will not be allowed, so playing it out the way so fans who do travel to Prague will be less inclined to travel onward. SFA and SSC stressing that no decision on fans has been made, but I suspect it will be worth very little as Easyjet canceled a lot of their August flights last week, so I expect emails will start to flow through about September cancellations very soon.

COLT NY Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm surprised they're inviting us back after the last time. I wonder if we had to give guarantees that we'd bring some attacking players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clootie Dumpling Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I kept my BA flight live just incase we get to the game, Having checked its only a 2hr 10 min train journey to Olomouc. I may just go over anyway and enjoy a wee 2 day trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Looks like this game is most certainly behind closed doors..... Czechs are reintroducing strict health and safety measures, and that means no events with more than 500 people https://news.expats.cz/coronavirus-in-the-czech-republic/czech-republic-introduces-new-anti-coronavirus-measures-including-masks-at-indoor-public-events/?utm_content=article&utm_medium=article-banner&utm_campaign=article-banner&utm_source=twitter&fbclid=IwAR2oOVs4xkAhKEOID3KbHDCRs0HgtlGE5gfm2T1wzQJKpOguVo76POen_u0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2017 I found a great Belgian pub in Budapest for beers and snacks and did manage to re-find it around the 2018 game. Only 'cause I keep highlights on a map now.

Sigma Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) The Czech FA does not have any info as of yet if fans will be allowed. They are awaiting instructions from UEFA. My guess is that fans will not be allowed. It is also my understanding that the restriction of 500 people applies to indoor events, but I could be wrong. The country has seen an increase in cases, mostly from the mining region in the north east, as well as 100 people from a nightclub in Prague. However, it is spreading again, so I suspect there will be new restrictions in the coming days and weeks. This appears to be my second post in 14 years Edited July 24, 2020 by Sigma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
