[Albion] Important information for fans travelling to Roma

[raymondo]

The ticket inspector has just been down the carriage (not a euphemism).

Think bespectacled, bald, rotund, Southern collector with gout....




...and you might last over a minute with this stunning lady.

Photos please

It's bad enough I wrote what I did, I sure has hell am not talking a sneaky pic.

 

[Oh_aye]

Malpensa, standing in the queue to board and there are Brighton fans everywhere

I couldn't see any on my flight until they mentioned the delay then a load of pissed voices piped up.

To save me reading through hundreds of posts, from where do the shuttle buses run to the stadium? I'm staying not far from Vatican City.

It’s Piazzale delle Canestre which is not far from Vatican City.

Seems quite polite to just advise him of his intentions rather than immediately get all stabby.

I got stopped on a bridge this afternoon by a couple of blokes…..thought they were about to embark on some kind of tourist-fleecing scam as they asked where I was from etc etc……..ended up with them shaking my hand and saying they hoped we beat the ‘Roma scum’ 3-1 and saying they were Lazio Checked all my pockets a few moments later and nothing was missing

 

[BadFish]

Gotta love these rules. I think I'm legit... by two weeks. *gulp*

As I've mentioned before, when we were in the EU *sobs*, I once flew to Greece on the day my passport expired and, after a few questions at the airport, back after it expired. Good times.

I find this whole fly months before your passport expires extremely odd. Surely if you can't use the bloody thing to travel abroad because you have to do it three months before it has expired. By definition the thing has already expired.

It's an EU rule, I believe (because three months is the max time you can spend there).

Were they wearing cassocks and dog collars per chance?

I think we have similar in Australia too. Might need to double check that though, I guess it's for the same reasons.

It’s not just the EU, it’s pretty much anywhere (and often 6 mths)…….I understand it’s primarily down to providing a contingency if you got ill or had some other reason for being unable to get home whilst abroad so didn’t get stuck without a passport

I stood next to a chap and his son (both Brighton fans) in the queue to board our flight from Luton to Milan this evening, chatted with him about the trip, the Albion etc.

As we got to the gate, upon checking their passports, they were refused entry, presumably because one of them didn’t have the requisite 3 months to expiry.

I felt absolutely gutted for them.

Ugh. Grim.

As I said, I only make it by three weeks.

Actually, he might have been caught by the weird "more than 10 years" rule. It's a minefield.

 

[The original gezza]

Cheers, hope the flight is on time

Yes, that's right. Return shuttle buses drop off back at Cinquecentro...
