palmer1 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Lets hope there is no issues with the weather on Saturday that may effect flights. Wed look very silly if the players are still in Manchester at 3pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngen Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 There are a few of us on the 8.30am flight, so long as thats not cancelled aswell we will be able to field at least 8, very very drunken men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't see us having time to train on Saturday morning before taking a flight and still be at the ground well before kick off time. I assume they are taking a scheduled flight, given that Wellens said the reason they weren't flying back was that they couldn't get a return flight back on Saturday night In which case neither flight appears suitable. They wouldn't be able to train in the light before the 8.30 flight, and they wouldn't get to the ground at the time they're supposed to be there if they took the one that lands a 1.20pm I suspect the article is probably wrong and they are flying after training tomorrow.

I care if it means the team won't get to the match on time, as that's quite an important part of playing a football game. I also find this one quite interesting as the airport they're flying to is a 2 minute drive away from my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I remember flying down for the West Ham game one Boxing day. I am the least religious person I know but I saved up all my prayers for that single flight. It was horrendous. At one stage, I swear the plane was vertically in line with the airport building. We lost 2-0 And I swore that I would never fly again ever. My then wife then asked me how i was going to get home. I am full of false promises.
