Yet again, the club aren’t bothering.
Just received this from our “travel partner” Sportsworld:

Good Afternoon David,

Unfortunately, we will not be operating a flight for this particular trip due to the low demand.

Kindest regards,
Lottie

What demand? You haven’t asked the question. Absolute joke

They’re always massively over priced. Get on Skyscanner

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Utmost respect to you guys going out there.

Which way we going ?

Ryanair via Tenerife looks decent

True but it’s always direct which, at my age, makes it (almost) worth the extra ackers!

Dear Lottie

The demand is there because of the short notice and people would be happy paying a little extra for a day trip with direct flights rather than messing around with four flights, two trains and a ferry. It’s that you lot can’t be bothered. Travel partner my arse.

Regards MCFC.

I did email back by return but don’t expect any clarification to my question thus:

Thanks for your prompt reply Lottie, although I’m somewhat perplexed by the “low demand” statement.

Where has that information come from? I haven’t seen anything on official or non-official sites requesting statement of interest.

Please could you elaborate as I know plenty of fans who would be interested. We’ve just not been asked - as far as I’m aware.

Thanks

Madrid away is a pain in the arse for them, this is why they aren't doing one.

Indeed. As I said earlier in this thread the cost and availability of aircraft and crew at short notice, especially during half term week, will be the main factor. Also landing and handling charges at Madrid are not cheap due to it being such a massive international airport.

Having said all that, even if they offered something for £500 return using an 150 seat aircraft, I think they’d have filled it. Given Ryanair is already up beyond that cost and there are no other direct options

 

[mcfcmatt]

it's the coaches also, they are a nightmare for them.

It's getting back to Edinburgh that is the killer..

Lol. That’s dedication!

 

[Zaba's Busted Nose]

Lol. That’s dedication!

Init. Fly past Madrid for an extra 2 hours in the complete wrong direction only to then fly 2 hours back to Madrid. That is definitely commitment

Ed Miliband will probably have an aneurysm if he reads this lol
