@alex_crook@TheDeanAshton Eurowings via Germany rather than direct. @talkSPORT are splashing the cash i see. I'm setting off from Abu Dhabi now. I'll race you there
@MikeKeegan_DM The reality is they're not doing it to reward fans. They're doing it to cut costs. The staff allocation shouldn't be taken from the fans. It should come from the pot for sponsors & execs. I think it's poor not to take staff & won't help with morale at the club in the long run
@dipsMUFC May 19 - Dubai to Bilbao via Vienna
May 22 - Bilbao to Gatwick via San Sebastian & Malaga
May 23 - Train to Manchester for supporters club dinner
May 24 - Fly Manchester to Gatwick via Isle of Man, cheaper than train
May 25 - Branch bus to Villa game fly Manchester to Dubai
- Wristbands
- Forced on buses a mile outside town 4 hours before kick off
- Held back 1 hr after the game
- Back to the meeting point at 1am with no public transport
- Police waiting & pointing guns at every corner
The football fans experience in France. Allez les rouges
@Vildoh@danp_89 Surely the linesman should also see it and say something or even the 4th official? It's why they have a team of them. Think it's just an unbelievably poor decision and the sort that can change a season
The new manager is the same age as me. By the time he's finished in charge, he'll have the same hairline as me too.
All the best boss. Amorims red and white army ๐ดโช๏ธโซ๏ธ
@Carly_Lyes@ODonnellDale I was quite impressed with last night's Houdini like trick of fitting 2,500 fans through a gap in the wall barely big enough for an envelope. Spoke to an English policeman outside of the ground and he described the whole setup as "an utter shambles"
@SimonPeach Excellent for ticket allocation, not so great for views behind an athletics track and lack of atmosphere assuming the home end will be nowhere near full
