    Can anyone tell me why Chelsea and Manchetser United and their all their fans have to all travel thousands of miles to Moscow to play a football match? What's the point in that? Play it Wembley.

    Exactly what my Dad said. Unfortunately I suppose plans were in place months/years ago to get it sorted. </p>

    Does seem pointless sending 60,000 people from here to Russia though.

    There's gold in them there ticket / flight / hotel packages!

    Not that saving their supporters money, reducing environmental impact or even making a better spectacle of it would even begin to cross the minds of those who run two of the wealthiest clubs in the world!

    Related subject

    When you book a flight these days there is an optional carbon offset charge you can pay

    How exactly does me giving BA an extra fiver reduce the emissions from the jet I am on? I really dont understand.

    Does anyone (other than Acky) actually pay this anyway?

    And there whole Carbon Footy Print thing.

    If they were that bothered and committed they'd have built the stadium in the midlands. So fans from northern teams don't have to travel all those miles to get down their.

    They should have had made an inflatable stadium

    Bit like this one but a bit bigger, they could stick it in the back of a lorry and inflate it half way between the two teams playing.

    Next time England play froance they could inflate it in the middle on the English Channel
