Disappointed he didn’t bring Beany the horse into the commentary box

Want to say thanks to the lot on my bus that looked out for me, it was worse than a sauna on there and standing up in that heat for a couple of hours I started struggling. They got me a seat, water and made sure I was ok. Never happened before, must be my age… But thanks, I know it was a group...

Pop round ours, I’m in Istanbul but the kids have it on

I heard he joined a supporters club in March

Bar queues are fine, there’s plenty of staff on for now - and there’s toilets too, which are exactly how you expect temp toilets sat out in the sun to smell I’ve not looked at the food to be honest, there’s burgers and the queues for them look pretty long tho

Stadium fanzone is ok…there’s food and it’s €7 for a can of Heineken, though they are kept in an ice bath. Imagine city square but sweatier. Precious little shade though. Took just short of 2 hours on the bus from yenikapi, a few got out and walked. There’s also, and not making this up, a guy...

Newcastle - Bodrum 1450 Friday Bodrum -Istanbul 0345 Saturday Istanbul - Riga 1615 Sunday Riga - Newcastle 2205 Sunday Bit of a faff but came in less than £230 when I booked it so can go along with it

Yeah they changed mine from Bodrum the other day. Instead of 2330 on Friday night getting in at 0100 it’s 0345 Saturday morning getting in at 0505. With a long wait in bodrum through the night now. Not the end of the world but it’s a difference between getting to bed at 3am to not getting to...

Yep 718, row 75 here

Turkish Airlines just changed the time of my internal flight from Bodrum so it leaves at 2130 on Friday night rather than midnight. Which is too short a change as I land at 2120, so been bumped onto one at 0345 landing at 0505. So if anyone else has 6 hours through the night at Bodrum airport...

I’ve learned a trip to York away was less stressful

Yeah I stood at Sincil Bank watching Lincoln put a fourth past Andy Dibble in the league cup thinking how lucky and entitled I was to be there… And then entitledly paid to go to the second leg too.

Yeah, my son is 13, had a season ticket since he was 3, he’s not on the cup scheme as midweek from Scotland doesn’t really work with school but with me he does pretty much every home league game, FA Cup, a fair number of aways and every home midweek during school holidays. Easily 30+ games a...

For Gillingham 1999 my mum queued up for hours and hours at Maine Road for me. It cost me the biggest bunch of flowers I’ve ever bought and a lifetime of reminders about what she did for me. I’m debating whether to pay her to check this thread and the official site all day for me so I can get...

This was never checked, will UEFA let me use it for this game instead?

That’s exactly my experience when I contacted my local OSC, as soon as I mentioned having a season ticket it was just pressure to let others use it (home and away) and a minor strop when I didn’t want to go along with it. I kept well away after that.

Speaking of rumours I heard that Marc Almond was in hospital and when they pumped his stomach they found 13 different… One for the kids there

Bit pedantic, but the venue is in mainland Europe, by about 15 miles I don’t have a problem with Istanbul, it’s one of the major air hubs, with regular flights absolutely everywhere. There’s two major airports there, with budget and flag carriers flying to both. If it were in Barcelona we’d...
