Anfield? People might be walking off in all directions but they're certainly not heading home anytime soon. You'll either be sitting in a traffic jam for an hour once you find your car or queuing for a bus back into town (or face a long walk). Everton is basically the same, Man City is a long...
Between £300-350. That's parking at Gatwick, flight, taxi from Montpellier airport to station, return train to Marseille, one-night's accommodation, match ticket, and food and drink (didn't really track this, but a decent guess I reckon).
Amazing coming back. Stayed to the final whistle, walked up the slope from the North Stand, straight on a double-decker and quickly back to the car. Was home 90 mins after the final whistle, which if I was doing Mill Road would probably see me just reaching the top of the steps!
I’m not exactly gonna boo him but I certainly won’t applaud him. He’s just another player who took the easy option of three sports cars instead of two cars. Hope we absolute smash Liverpool and he has the shittest return possible.
Thought Marseille was a great city. I was here in 1998 for the World Cup game and barely saw any of it (through all the tear gas). Older and wiser now, and would love to come back and have a proper explore. Yes it's shabby in places, but what major city isn't? Reminded me of Lisbon at times...
I don't think the Marseille arrangements appeal to anyone, but sadly that's the price of seeing your team away in European competition. Ajax restrictions are very similar, minus the being bussed to the ground. It's not unique to us, just look at AEK at the Amex the other week.
It might not be what it's about for the vast majority of people, but sadly that's the reality of a European trip to watch football. Ajax has also got some heavy restrictions, as will AEK. I'm not sure what people are expecting.
Yes, I'm saying this as someone going to all three, but anyone could have bought a ticket to Marseille? It didn't even sell out. If anyone missed out due to cost, fear, wrong time of year or whatever, well that's just unfortunate. Or do you want to pick and choose what "special" game you want to...
Surprised there wasn't an advert for "customers" to download a new UEFA app for all your in-game updates including replays, team sheets, yellow cards and substitutions (yours for £2.99).
Yep, something like 5,000 Newcastle fans in Milan and one bloke gets stabbed late at night in the city. Of course hope he's ok and one is one too many, but let's not poop our pants here.
Amsterdam at £170 return from City is our most expensive flight. And that was a panic as prices just went bonkers. I've since heard of cheaper on the Eurostar. Athens was c£80, Montpellier was c£60 (plus £26 train), no accommodation is more than £50 each a night. Like I said above, helps we...
