Was it difficult to arrange travel to European games and how expensive was it compared to the wages paid in 1970

My dad and me went. He couldn’t really afford it so my gran lent him the money so I could go.
I seem to remember it being £30 but I could be well wrong on that.
Got piss went through in that stupid fucking open air stadium.
 
I was 16 and I went with my mate. Booked it through Gaytours LOL.

I can't imagine there being a travel company called that today!

Stayed in the Hotel Central.

I looked really smart in my 3 piece black suit with red shirt and red hankie in the jacket pocket!!!

I suspect we were on the same flight as I was on the last flight out which was delayed for hours by which time half the passengers were pissed up after demolishing their duty free booze. Many wouldn't normally have been allowed on the flight but the airport authorities just wanted shut of us so they could close the airport and go home. The story on the night was that the plane (Dan Air) had a malfunction and a replacement part had to be flown out from the UK. I hadn't heard the story about the pilot being killed but that may well have been the real reason.
