can anybody tell me why there is so many problems regarding juventus tickets! why are the italians causing so much hassle, first it was your name on ticket and now, i'm hearing the italians want addresses of all travelling fans {i was emailed yesterday by my contact for tickets to supply my details } I can honestly say I have travelled to many many european games be it friendlies to last 16 and never had this hassle before, i'm travelling with Harry Hynds travel and I fear what's greeting me when we step off plane, my only comfort is Hynds travel are putting on buses from airport to hotel and also to game and return. can anybody shed any light on why security is so so tight please

Just be careful mate. having been to the last Juve v Celtic it was horrendous. The police turned a blind eye to everything and the waiter in our hotel told us to stick to groups of TEN upwards! There is a bar doing a big Celts theme so hopefully it will be cool. can't understand the ticket thing though, local police regulations maybe?. green jhedi

GJ, if it's as bad as made out ( I don't for one minute doubt it btw) then why don't the relevant footballing authorities launch full enquiries? Quick enough to pull up for certain singing, us letting off flares but ignore crowds, poor security measures of the bigger clubs. Not holding my breath right enough, it would get the same treatment no doubt that the atrocious refeering got last week.

Barry; the problem is the Italian Ultras, the amount of input they have in clubs is frightening. At lots of clubs the leaders of these groups have free reign to wander in and out of training complexes! This is achieved through intimidation and the sheer force of numbers they have. This in turn leaves the police knowing we will go home, they dont. green jhedi

thanks for the heads up guys, i'm not planning in straying too far from hotel, and will take all advice welcome. on another note we don't treat visiting fans like this so why we get it is beyond me. any ideas

Not sure if i'm excited or apprehensive about this trip. probably a bit of both haha. never knew about the address on the ticket? when I picked mine up it was still just the name? GJ a lot of people I know are staying in milan to try and avoid any trouble.

Maybe they know how many travel to watch Celtic and they think if we make it hard on the fans they won't turn up and Celtic will be worse without the fans there. Juve are afraid!

It was a nightmare the last time we were there, herded about like cattle outside the ground and in city centre, total alchol ban in pubs, bars, cafes etc etc then inside the ground pelted with rotten fruit, vegetables, stones, backs of seats, plastic bottles with water and other liquids all this while the local peelers stood in full riot gear with shields held above there heads, batons drawn and facing us and let the juve fans continually throw missiles at us.

Think it depends on the team watched us in the San Siro and had no problems but also watched Roma play and had to supply all my details and take passport to the match to tally up with my ticket

You will probably find most of the pubs will be closed too, but everything will be fine, don wander about alone though. jj
