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

[nwgull]

We got on the bus about 15 mins ago and have moved about 15 metres!

This reminds me of the M25 when I was trying to get to the Amex for the AEK game.

Still on the bus but under the stadium.

Took 40 minutes.

They take you a very long way round.

Those who had problems from Montepelier - a person was hit by a train.

Our coach is finally on the move from La Joliette!

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

It is pretty much standard practice in some European countries (France and Italy spring to mind) to bus away fans in completely the wrong direction, making the journey stupidly long

depends if there is a neighbourhood the police do not really want you driving through, or previous incidents where coaches have been attacked with bricks and bottles etc, having been on those coaches in the dark days, considering your stuck on a coach in a foreign land, I will take the long trip to the ground all day long.

 

[Was not Was]

Has anyone gone to the stadium by metro and got in ok? Please reply if you’ve tried this.

This summer I took the wife and daughters across Europe on at least 30 trains, trams, tubes, buses and boats but mostly I wish I was on the bus to the stadium right now. So less moaning please.

Amen to that. I’ve never been so stressed going to a game, I remember feeling having left 4hrs before KO, I’d just have to miss the game. After all those years of dross I was going to be denied our most glorious moment. 2hrs to move from m40 to m3 jct. it was insane. How I made KO is another story. I begged and blagged, made in nick of time.

Massive queues in La joilette. Did the last lot of buses drop off?

Journey around an hour with the route they take you out and current traffic

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

We’re still on the set that left about 50 mins ago - stuck in traffic

I remember such an incident on the M25 prior to first ever match v Doncaster. Allowed hours to get there and almost missed KO
