The lawyer expressed his opposition to the possibility of the Novibet Hellenic Cup final being held abroad Grigoris Ioannidiswhich was hosted on the show of Kyriakos Thomaidis, “Trial in the Open”.
Regarding whether the Cup final can be held in London specifically, Mr. Ioannidis stated: “I have not understood why a final of the Greek Cup should be held abroad. I imagine the main reason will be commercial, if, of course, the income far exceeds the expenses, why not? But they may also count without the hotelier. Why can Crystal Palace give away its stadium, but we will have to look at other procedural issues.
In order for the match to take place there, the Magistrate’s Court of the area must give permission, then there should also be permission from the police, if they have the ability to assist in the smooth running of the match, not only inside the stadium, but also outside on the streets. And what worries me is that in British stadiums there are no railings.
Here in Greece, we notice that when something happens, that the fans don’t like, they can and do enter the playing fields and it has bars. And I can’t imagine what will happen in a stadium without railings. I’m afraid because it might have the opposite effect. So what if someone doesn’t like the referee’s decision, doesn’t like the result and goes in? It will discredit Greek football».
