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

[dazzer6666]

Just seen the official busses leave at 2pm?! Seems way too early.

I was going to make my own way there on the metro or walk, but maybe having slightly second thoughts after some of the stories from last night.

What do others think?

‘From’ not ‘at’ ?

There’s no access to the away turnstiles without the bus. They start from 2 but there are buses all afternoon.

Do yourself a favour fella! Do what the club want! You might well be OK but wouldn’t take the chance. Suggest no one makes their own way back!! Would liken this place to Millwall on steroids,

All sounds so controlled, hope all this doesn't ruin the experience.

Personally I'm glad I saved my money for Everton and Citeh away days instead

OK, points taken and as @dazzer6666 says it's from 2pm, so should be OK.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

For anyone staying at Tokoyo Inn, I just dropped my bag off and they informed me check in may start at 12 rather than 4.
Worth asking when you get there rather than dropping off luggage

Yes confirmed for me too

Colours. Is it safe to wear BHA shirts in the square?

Club say not until in the ground

BA2620 into Montpellier landed 11.12am local time, caught up 25 minutes in flight.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

One of my lads is on the BA2620 LGW to Montpellier which should have left at 7.15am and is still on the tarmac at LGW now, 90 minutes later. For those of you omit, the trains from Montpellier to Marseilles are also fecked, they’ve shunted the 10.58am into the 12.58pm, and if you miss that the next one is 2.58pm which gets into Marseilles at 4.35pm and leaves barely 30 minutes before ticket collection closes. Might be worth someone notifying the club, because there are about 90 BHA on that flight, apparently. And that could get messy if ticket collection closes.

Just landed. Made a bit of time up.

Do they all leave together like F1?

Was told when picked ticket up last night going to be waves, like Mill Road parking. Otherwise they will need 60 odd coaches!! So on way back going to need to be patient!

I love it, but when the landlord has come out and said please keep it down, and people are still outside standing on tables banging shit...

I'm not saying anything's wrong. I know people are in high spirits and I was joining in plenty. But there's also respect and if you step over that it's going to attract attention.

We just moved on before it went too far. It might not do that anyway. I just hope everyone's good & doesn't **** their trip before we even kick a ball.

Ah I see, yeah if the landlords said to keep it down then fair enough! I thought you just being grumpy at us making some noise and enjoying the atmosphere,

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Depends what time of day it is. A lot of folk can have a really nice evening out without upsetting others and waking them up.

Yeah 100%. As mentioned, wouldn’t agree with that, but normal hours up until 11–12 is fine, just having fun.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Is that a serious question? Just save it for in the ground and behave like a normal human in public. It’s not difficult. Not everyone is a football fan and many that aren’t find football fans’ ‘fun’ behaviour annoying or even intimidating.

take it you’ve never had fun and enjoyed yourself away in Europe, domestic away games or tournaments before then?! Chill out man! Its a huge occasion for us and if we want to celebrate, sing, make noise etc and it isn’t too late or complaints made, then I see no harm in that.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Am v jealous of everyone going, soooo excited for Ajax, if only I didn’t have work commitments, Id be there now.

Seen some videos n photos of a bit if aggro mind.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Trains from Montpellier to Marseille all bolloxed (jumper) so getting a €240 Uber instead. FFS.

I'm very chilled.
