To be honest I have never really understood the clamour by any of the "big clubs" to stage a euro final in their own ground :? For me you wanting to be making your own history in your own stadium instead of being a bit part of some other clubs history. Don't get me wrong, I would love to attend a champs leg final but wouldn't want it to be at the grove

I guess our chances are limited due to being in the same city as Wembley.

Might get a UEFA Cup final, I suppose... or the Autoglass Windscreen, if that's still running :?

I read somehwhere that an european cup final venue has to have a minimum capacity of 70k. That means only Wembley and er OT :? can hold one in england.

This might apply for the champions league final, europa might be different.

We can't apply for a CL final due to capacity. However, we can apply for Europa League final in 2015
