For days, the British media has been filled with doom laden stories about what a disaster the UEFA Champions League final in Moscow on 21 May is going to be. Even the BBC has not been immune.
To believe the reports, thousands of British fans face a series of seemingly insurmountable hurdles to getting to the match.
Visas will not be issued in time, there will be no flights available, Moscow hotels are full, and prices are astronomic.
As it turns out, Moscow does actually have a plan.
This being the biggest sporting event to hit the Russian capital since the 1980 Olympics, officials here have been putting quite a bit of thought in to how to get 50,000 football fans in and out of the city quickly, safely and reasonably cheaply.
Moscow confident of final success
