| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Price of Football, the show that looks at the money behind the |
| 0:15.3 | beautiful game with me Kevin Day and Liverpool University's Kirin McGuire. Kirin, how exciting |
| 0:21.5 | to see fans back in the natural ground at Wimbly. There's a big under 23 game at Seller's |
| 0:26.6 | Park tonight Kirin and I aim to get to the Paulson's arms as soon as we finish this |
| 0:30.8 | pod which considering we're recording on Sunday is enough drinking time. Remember those fans |
| 0:39.1 | if you are heading for a match keep taking precautions we're not through this yet and always drink |
| 0:43.4 | responsibly. Now it's questions day Kirin we've got a couple of new stories before we go |
| 0:49.8 | onto some really interesting questions. The venue for the Champions League final being switched |
| 0:54.6 | from Istanbul to Portugal will that cost you a fair a lot of money in compensation? It will cost |
| 1:00.7 | you a fair and therefore indirectly it will cost Manchester City and Chelsea as well and all the |

| 1:35.8 | years is my understanding. I think what you avert doing is saying they'll effectively knock |
| 1:41.2 | a couple of percentages off. A couple of percentage points off the money received by clubs over |
| 1:46.8 | the next three to four years so it's not too concentrated on a single season. I'm guessing as |
| 1:53.7 | well the airlines may take advantage of the fact that Chelsea immensely fans have to fly in and |
| 1:59.2 | fly out on the same day so I imagine those airfares are going to be a touch more expensive than they |
| 2:04.6 | may have been for a normal weekend in Portugal. Yes there was somebody on Twitter yesterday in fact |
| 2:14.9 | saying that they had actually booked for one night in Porto and the website involved which I won't |
| 2:24.1 | name cancelled her booking and then when she tried to rebook the price had gone up by a factor of four |
