UEFA require a 60,000 minimum capacity for the stadium hosting the Champions League final so holding it at VP was a non-starter.

If the final is moved, there’s no way it should be held in the U.K.That would just be asking for trouble.Get Edvard to arrange a pitch and play it up there.
I doubt they'd give a shit.Though if it is held in England I could see it being held at Wembley as everything else seems to be, even despite the advantage that gives London teams. Though I confess I haven't been arsed to check if it clashes with playoff weekend (always much more interesting than the European finals).
Ah, OK ta. Villa Park most obvious venue if they decide it has to be hosted in the UK then (I don't think Millennium Stadium is open at the moment).
Snobbish Chelsea fans claiming Villa Park is too small to stage it.Villa Park is bigger than Stamford Bridge... .

Just have it on one of the pitches in Aston ParkI'm pretty sure UEFA care more about how impressive it looks on TV than whether the ground is physically large enough to hold the fans in attendance.
