Planes, Trains And Automobiles - We're Going To Bilbao

Fingers said:
Getting back to the airport was a struggle last night. I started walking to the airport before I got some local to take me at 2am. I was on the first flight out at 6:45am. I spoke to two people at the airport who walked all the way from the town centre. Dedication.

Not sure if I’ve posted it here or just on WhatsApp groups but I had a half hour walk back to my hotel early hours of this morning and it was like a town of refugees (no offence intended). Just groups of both Spurs and Utd fans everywhere huddled in doorways and bus stops to shelter from the rain or waiting in long, long queues for taxis (I assume). In my half hour walk I saw just one taxi (with passengers). Looked at uber and it was EUR 25 back to the old town, so I stuck with shanks’s pony.

I didn't think it was that far back to The Carlton? 😂

I should have met up with you this afternoon, as I'm still here as well. (Up the big hill in the campervan park.)

I was in 'recovery mode' for a good part of the day. Not that had drunk that much BUT physically and mentally it just takes soooo much out of you. And tbh my voice was failing me in the middle of conversations, after copious amounts of singing/shouting.

My voice is shot.
I walked over the bridge and the hill was was just too much so backtracked back to the old town.

Now listening to Mancs singing “oh Teddy Teddy teddy sherringham” which I think is directed at me but if that s all they have…..

Johnson again Johnson again
Johnson again oh way oh way

Some nice banter in the pub before the game, when the small group of United fans started singing that song, only for the big majority of Spurs fans to join in and drown them out.

My Dad was robbed at knifepoint at 5.30 morning after the game - he didn't have a hotel and whilst it could happen at any point during the night the situation with hotels for these sorts of games does leave a lot of people exposed

Aw man, that is awful and would have left a horrible nasty taste in his mouth about the final experience

Yeah he's fine, they ripped his chain from his neck and scarpered, he had a bag with his phone & passport in so was just happy they didn't take that.


I didn't have an hotel either before anyone thinks I'd left him to roam the streets alone 😂

One silver lining....imagine getting mugged BEFORE the final and them taking your phone 😭
