[Albion] How does the team travel to and from away games?

[tinycowboy]

TBH, it's not something I normally think about, but, for some reason, colleagues at work today seem to be fascinated by the question of how the team got back from Liverpool yesterday. Some reckon they'd stay overnight in a hotel, then get a flight back mid morning. Others reckoned a flight straight back last night. Being a bit behind the times, I'd assumed a coach back, arriving in Sussex in the early hours. Anyone have any ideas?

Flew up and back yesterday from what I've seen posted elsewhere...would possibly normally stay overnight but with so many games chunked together needed to get back for recovery day today. Anywhere reasonably North they'll fly for sure.

Based on last night, aboard a mighty battleship.

They fly.

In normal times they use the private terminal at LGW so they’re on and off the plane in almost no time at all.

This means, coming back from a game, they’ll be in their cars just a few minutes after landing and home shortly thereafter, enabling maximum possible rest/sleep.

I assume this is still what they’re doing this season.

I presumed they were all working on Zoom from home.

I heard as reward for the win they are getting treated to three night stay in Burnley at Best Western

ENZ334 left Liverpool John Lennon at 12:06 am landing at Gatwick 40 minutes later.
Seagull Travel, this has to be the way forwards rather than getting back at 5 am.

Sometimes they drive:

Think staying overnight is unusual in England? Its the standard in Italy, much to the dismay of plenty of star players through the years.

I understand that when visiting the AMEX, northern teams will often stay overnight at the South Lodge hotel in Lower Beeding.
