Couldn't agree more, whatever happened to attending the games to support the team. The amount of people who have messaged me saying 'do you get points for woemn's games', 'do you get points for U21 games', just attend the games because you want to, not this never ending nonsense of points.
I did 3 days for each and everywhere was fantastic, taking in the city at each place was amazing (well except for one of them obviously). I think I had the mindset we'd never do it again, so have to enjoy that. I expect most of us will be chasing the high of that Marseille game for the rest of our lives.
I was in 'all sth' tier for Roma and easily got a ticket.
Easyjet are fine, rarely had any issues with them and when I have it's been simple to resolve.
Still only 5% of the ground in UCL. It all hinges on who you get and the capacity of the ground. Exciting to see where we end up come the end of May!
Fair point. Even better then for chances on getting tickets.
Did the driver manage to successfully locate the M25 on the way back though, as opposed to, say, accidentally continuing on the M1 into north London?
Nothing at all but it never occured to me how cheap and easy to use they are. Paris to Barca and Barca to Madrid only last month following our €30 Lille to Marseille trip. As mentioned elsewhere, Spain have opened up the Barca/Madrid high speed line to Ouigo who charge €9. Eurostar should do the same for the tunnel.
Flew to Paris last month with Vueling. Used a catapult at Gatwick with enough strength to get across the Channel and glide into Orly. In truth they were the best price and decent time. No different to EasyJet coming home.
From a personal point of view if it was us playing those fixtures I'd be interested in going to both Brugge (it's like a f***ing fairytale) and Monaco (after selling a kidney) but although not as appealing as those games we had in Athens etc I'd still say we'd shift those numbers fairly easily.
The thing is, it's not like people going to a game they might otherwise miss, are not supporting the team.
Well, do you?
Surely encouraging people to go away and support the team is a good thing ?
No - it's not proper football. Hope this helps.
