@SeanInRome thank you so much for a great service, could not fault it. Tour, restaurant and transfer, brilliantly organised. Could not recommend highly enough
I think the locals were thinking 'what eees thees song... "ah- wanked a offa in Ah-Amsterdam-ah"?Adding my thanks to @SeanInRome - professionally organised from start to finish.
Knowing how difficult it was for Sean to secure a third coach - no one wants to transport football fans in Rome - I’ll admit to being slightly concerned when the singing started on the walk to the coaches. The whole thing became immediately less low-key!
But the fist bump I got from a restauranteur we passed was indicative of the good spirit it was taken in by the fascinated locals.
Yes nice to meet some people off here but didn't put many names to faces. I did get seated with Alan - who very kindly paid for my Pizza! And had a nice chat. Alan if you're reading , i somehow lost contact going in, but if you DM me, I'd very much like to pay you back with a couple of drinks before a game.Another thanks here from me and my family of 5. Superbly organised, great communications, good restaurants and comfortable coaches/no squashing and squeezing.
Good to see some others on here (and to be groped by the female security on way into ground next to some of them too.....)
Me and my 2 sons did all 4 euro away, my wife and daughter did 3 and this was the calmest to/from stadium experience

This.Thank you @SeanInRome for all of you and your teams work yesterday! I could see you accommodated everyone - even all the late bookings.
The tour was great too! It was great to chat and meet up with everyone else too beforehand.
Hopefully I'll see you all again in the Last 8...
Apologies for the terrible quality of the Fisting here but it was only a quick panning shot. The lady's very nice smile at our singing procession exemplified my experience of four days in Rome
And to get back to the start of the thread, Sean's wise bits of advice here and there to me I'm sure was a big help in making that happen

That would have been a Lazio fan,!Adding my thanks to @SeanInRome - professionally organised from start to finish.
