Did they bring Norwegian caravans with them?

Flights from over here are quite affordable on Norwegian incomes. I fly over to see around 6 Albion games a year. I fly over on the Friday night and there's always plenty of football supporters on the plane. Occasionally see a palace fan. Mostly arsenal though.

Slightly related to the thread, but I've seen the best long-haul flights from the UK to the US are Norwegian Air.
£199 for a direct flight to LA most times in the year, great value!
I just wonder why that is.

They've spent 10 years slowly beating the competition on domestic flights and short haul around Northern Europe based on a simple yet very punctual service. A lot of people fly between cities in Norway as mountains and fjords make driving times long. These people generally use Norwegian as its as easy as taking a bus.

Now they've got something approaching a monopoly here they can afford to do it with long haul flights.

The club tweeted a photo of a group of Belgian fans who came for the Birmingham game, I wonder how they ended up supporting Brighton.

When in Singapore 5/6 years ago there were whole page adverts in the Straits Times, advertising flight/hotel/match packages to most premier league teams. As funny as I thought it was, a colleague said he and a few friends had gone to see a Fulham game for a weekend break.

If I was going abroad to watch a game of football, I'd want to do it in a proper ground full of character. That is probably why you so the vast majority of people from Europe on the European Football Grounds page on Facebook heading for places like Fulham and Brentford. Selhurst may be shit, but you can't deny it has those two qualities
