So after searching around Athens and being knocked back for the use of various stadiums for various reasons (mainly the Athens clubs all hate each other !) they reached an agreement with Panionios to use their 11,000 seat stadium (even though over 13,000 tickets were already sold !
When the Panionios fans found out they broke into their own stadium and trashed it just so AEK couldn't play there !Scroll down here for pics...

Now the game is on at Olympiacos 32,000 seater with only around 500 DUFC fans allowed in because the AEK fans are banned from the stadium.Talk about club rivalrys lol.

DUFC and most of the fans were already in Athens before a venue was found and several deadlines had been and gone....I doubt very much if UEFA would have put up with this crap had it been one of the European giants involved.
