It’s only a coincidence that nearly at the same time Russia hosts all English League Champion Final and England hosts Russian – English the UEFA Cup final. Both countries have to make mutual concessions.
      
      Still all 15 thousand Zenit fans have problems not with the tickets but the way to reach Manchester, as neither the Club itself nor a tour operator are going to organize the fan voyage.
      
      At that the British Embassy in Moscow and St. Petersburg are very helpful at the situation and accept visa applications only from football fans since 1 till 11 May.
      
      Zenit became only the second Russian club to reach the UEFA Cup final, after beating Bayern 4-0, following CSKA Moscow, which won the title in 2005.
