Yes, I already have my tickets. It was only possible to buy tickets for all three CL games but 60 euros for all three games is not very much. All 48.000 tickets were sold out four hours after the sale for everybody started. I was lucky. I bought them over the internet. Some fans were staying in line for hours and did not get tickets.
I hope that Rapid will make it to the UEFA cup. Club Brugge is not that good. Rapid should be able to beat them.
I also think that there will not be many fans at the delle alpi today. I think perhaps 15.000.
On the homepage of Rapid Vienna it says that Juventus is investing in players and not in infrastructure because the press conference was in a construction container with tropical temperatures and the training center also looks very old.
Somehow they are right. Italian clubs prefer buying expensive players instead of improving their stadium and infrastructure. Most stadiums in italy are very old and don`t look very comfortable.

I would like to see some new stadiums without running track in Italy. That would deffinately increase the attendances. Just look at germany. Clubs that had 20.000-30.000 spectators at their games have 50.000 now in their new stadiums.
That`s why it would be great if Italy gets the euro 2012.
Or look at Bayern. In the Olympiastadium they would have had 20.000-25.000 spectators against Club Brugge. Jesterday in the Allianz Arena they had 66.000.
I just can`t wait until we get the new stadium. Delle Alpi is just hated from the juve fans. In a new stadium we would have a much bigger advantage at our home games with the fans close to the pitch.
Jesterday before the match against Rapid they showed things about Juve on tv and they said that only Italian cars are allowed to drive in our training center. That is somehow really funny. They showed the Mercedes and BMW standing outside. If a player doesn`t drive an italian car he is not allowed to park inside.
I don`t know, but you would be allowe dto park on the training ground if you would be a juve player and all the expensive german cars would have to stand outside.
Yes, that are great stadiums but we will not get such a great and expensive stadium. I think our management just thinks that the fans in the stadium are not so important. We make five or six times more money with the money we get from the tv stations. We would perhaps already have a new stadium if our attendances would be higher, but with just 20.000-30.000 people coming to our games the stadium just does not have high priority for our management.
But if we had a stadium in a more central position we would make money from it as well. And the fans and people of Torino would love to go see football again.
