[Albion] The "Out in Marseille and this may help someone" thread

[Iggle Piggle]

Finally back at the hotel. Having tea (crisps) and a celebratory Rose. That was 3 hours of my life I don't want to repeat.

Have a word with yourself lol they’re there to stop trouble with a notoriously violent set of fans

Clueless gobby muppet who was not even there. The local coppers admitted it was a f*** up.

Me and my bro just forced our way out at about 10pm and got an Uber. F the police. Went to copper bay bar and a speakeasy next to it and was anazing. Incredible night my favourite ever away game

It's not the very long way round, it's the sightseeing route, and we should be thanking the locals who arranged this bonus and photo opportunities.

In fact PBOBE should be arranging for the Ajax and Marseilles buses to The Amex to go via the Royal Pavilion i360 Devils Dyke Volks Railway and The Marina.

Nah via Mile Oak, Fishersgate, Shoreham beach, Shoreham airport, Cement works, Holmbush Centre, Whitehawk, Newhaven and Woodingdean.

Being treated like cattle isn't really my idea of a good night out,.. I am going to Amsterdam, but by f*** I won't be anywhere near the nazi style coppers herding me from pillar to post,.. good luck to those of you who love that style of policing and footy.

Not sure anyone loves that style of policing do they?

Monsieur Mars.

So if the other one is Bruno as someone else suggested (although his time at Chelsea appears to have turned his beard grey), that would make Bruno Mars..

What an experience. Good and bad. Missed the first 10 minutes of the game. Arrived just in time to see us concede twice. Deafening. Despair. Hope. Elation. All in equal amounts. Very hoarse this morning getting the early TGV back to Paris. The upside of all the waiting around is that I actually got time to speak to a few of the more normal fans that made the trip. Safe journey back all.

Story in the press that Bloom was on a delayed flight, with some supporters, and arranged a coach direct to the ground for them.

Anyone on this flight/coach?

We drank beer whilst watching the game; I didn’t think this was allowed at UEFA games? Or is it just England?

Great effort from all those that travelled with their hard earned cash, a long tough day and enough to test anyones patience. #

Hopefully the 2nd half comeback made things less tedious

Wasn't there but I'm sure it would have - who isn't absolutely buzzing after a last minute comeback - esp when you have the agony of waiting for a penalty to be taken!! I imagine multiply the buzz by 100 what with it being our first euro away game and in marseille

It absolutely did. The feeling I had was disbelief and awe, standing there as my team walked out to that noise was amazing. Bit flat at half time but the second half and our penalty for the equaliser was one of the best feelings I have ever had.

Certainly made up for the shit show getting away from the ground.

Up the Albion

PS

Well done to all the Brighton fans who were incredibly patient and well behaved despite not being treated well at all.
