Surprised there wasn't an advert for "customers" to download a new UEFA app for all your in-game updates including replays, team sheets, yellow cards and substitutions (yours for £2.99).

Yeah, that's where the budget is going to take a hammering

Yep, something like 5,000 Newcastle fans in Milan and one bloke gets stabbed late at night in the city. Of course hope he's ok and one is one too many, but let's not poop our pants here.

Amsterdam at £170 return from City is our most expensive flight. And that was a panic as prices just went bonkers. I've since heard of cheaper on the Eurostar. Athens was c£80, Montpellier was c£60 (plus £26 train), no accommodation is more than £50 each a night. Like I said above, helps we...

Yep, we're all pretty high with loyalty points so booked flights on the Saturday morning. Marseille and Amsterdam accommodation is very basic, but we're only there for one night. Two nights in Athens and seemed to be loads of very reasonably-priced Airbnbs when I booked.

I'm booked up for all six and I'm on about £700 at the moment. That includes flights, accommodation, home tickets, expected away tickets, various trains and airport parking. I suppose I've still got to factor in petrol and food and drink, and even though I'm a fat bastard I'll be nowhere near 2k.

Five of us on both those flights, although doing train to Marseille and back.

Yeah, it's not £26 though. It's capped at €45. I assume we've come to a reciprocal agreement and are charging €30 for away fans at the Amex.

ko is 6.45, no?

Some interesting advice given to rugby fans this weekend regarding potential fines in Marseille... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/sep/08/rugby-world-cup-fans-face-fines-too-noisy-in-marseille

Most yes, but not all are Geordies and certainly not all have travelled from Newcastle. This is what the media constantly portrays. Was listening to 606 on way back from the game on Saturday and the first Newcastle fan on had a distinctly southern accent who had travelled all the way from...

Hold on a minute, this article is from a Newcastle fan who lives in London who regularly sees other southern-based Newcastle fans at away games. This can't be right because the media always tell us what wonderful fans Newcastle have for filling away ends down south when it's a squillion-mile...

Thought he slotted in quite nicely for Gilmour in his cameo on Saturday.

We're also flying into Montpellier on Thursday morning. We've booked return trains through Railclick at £26 pp.

Don't want to derail the Athens thread, but we've booked flights to Montpellier. Much cheaper and only 90 mins on train away. Still staying in Marseille.

Got ours this morning for £87 return from Luton. Out Wednesday back Friday

Most planes at Biggin Hill approach from the north so likely explains the bit of a loop.

Planes landing at Biggin Hill come straight over our house (leave it). Working from home today so I'll see if I can grab a photo at 3pmish.

The main thing I noticed about the game was how poor the atmosphere was once Arsenal went down to 10 men. Still 20 minutes to go and starting to get on top, that place should have been rocking. Instead you had those idiots behind the goal just killing any unity between the stands. Oh well, shame.
