[Albion] Fly or drive?

[scouse23]

Anyone in the know, how does the team get to Liverpool tonight?

 

[LamieRobertson]

I don’t think they drive...someone else does if they’ve gone by coach

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

My guess is they flew up yesterday and will stay up north and train for the Burnley game at the weekend.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Flying back from Liverpool at 11.30pm.

Fly or drive? Get with the 21st century, Grandad.

Drive. It’s easier to replace the wheels than on a airplane.

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[arewethereyet?]

Anything north of Watford and they fly.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

They flew up to Liverpool this morning.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

They flew up to Liverpool this morning.

Wot, no overnight stay?
Always thought travel to away games [of this distance] was always at least 24 hours before k/o

I guess that GP wanted two full days’ preparation at Lancing.

Where do they fly out of/ in to? Gatwick??

Guess Shoreham is too small for something big enough to accomodate the whole squad, though I it would be bloody handy if they could??

Any ideas

Yep. They use Gatwick. Shame Shoreham isn’t larger from that perspective.

Gatwick or Biggin Hill generally. But also safer than staying in hotels and the covid protocols etc

I'm not sure if its the same now, but when the PL re-started last year the clubs were advised: no flying and no overnight stays.
I don't know if that's now been relaxed in regards to flying, but no overnight stays is still very much enforced.
If indeed they are flying, would they charter a private plane so as not to come into any contact with anyone outside the club, or their immediate families?

 

[CARSHALTON LADY]

Usually travel with Jota Aviation.
This morning G-JOTS according to Flightradar24

Private charter is not as expensive as some people think. Depending on numbers is often not much more per head than a normal business class flight for more flexibility, no or minimal mixing with the public.

Offset that against the cost of coach travel, hotels etc it makes a lot of business sense even before you add in the football / medical benefits
