Barcelona Away Stories

[mike channon´s windmill]

Feedback from the people of Barcelona

On the most we were a nice bunch they especially liked our constant tributes to YAYA

They did not like the pissing in the streets and hitting of innocents that were accused of being pick pocketed.

Next time I think they will set up a proper fan zone for us.

feedback from Manchester.

the pickpockets AND the police put people off the visiting the city. both cunts.

ps . I didn't piss in the street or hit an "innocent" pickpocket.

Spanish (or Catalan) people complaining about those who urinate in the streets. The very same people who regularly stop and make their children do so, in full view of everybody, because they can´t be arsed to get the lift back up to their flats and use a toilet like most civilised human beings would or even ask to use the facllities in one of the 130,000 food and drink establishments situated on virtually every street corner.
It all starts with the parents
Rant over

[Ticket For Schalke]

One of the lads we was with on the last night was in a Bar just off the square, "apparently" he elbowed a local whilst he was sat down, so the doorman steamed in, the lad resisted so made a scene, next thing we're outside and logic defied were he said he did unless he had stretch armstrong elbows, next thing these "two locals" pull out police badges, we all spoke spanish so basically called them so n so's, that was left then 3 russians were waiting for us at the top of square, basically taking notes of what happened, only after did we realise russians aren't just tourist russians over there....... i could go on but it was fun and games.

Obviously when we landed in Italy we had over 4 hours to our next flight to Barcelona so we to a 20 minute taxi to Bergarmo he dropped us in the centre and he walked us to this nice Tapas type bar we got in ordered drinks that's when I realised I left my phone in the taxi so I said to my mate ring it ring it and we kept ringing it for the next 2 hours anyway we decided that it was gone but it put me on a bit of a downer so drank some more and ate the free tapas which was a bonus.We got a taxi back to the airport and when we got out the same taxi driver that took us was stood there so I went up to him and he gave me my phone I said cheers gave him some money and was buzzing I got my phone back.Now on a high we bought some more vodka and coke as if we had not had enough lol and queued up to get on the next flight meeting up with 5 Slovakian Barcelona fans who also had 2 large bottles of Russian standard vodka and sharing with us neat the flight seemed to be over in no time we landed and got another taxi to the hotel which was about 15 miles away.My mates had been giving me greif all day about booking this hotel so far away but I thought should only be 30to40 euros max well the clock went over 50 euros and the taxi driver was lost and we were all getting agitated by this time its midnight and he pulled in a garage to ask for directions at this point I said lets run we dived out of the taxi ran across the forcourt and jumped over this wall,bad mistake it was about a 12ft drop which hurt and looked round and there was only 2 of lay there in the dark then my other 2 mates looked over the wall and said WTF you doing thick twats the taxi driver seen them and came over and was going ballistic I said fuck off you lost and ripping us off then I realised I left my phone in the taxi I thought on know not again so climbed up and went to him he was back in his taxi by this time prob calling police or something I tried to speak to him offering him 20 euros and give me my phone back.He took the money and drove off.Gutted phone gone again ah well there was an Irish bar over the road and we went in there this is when I checked my pockets also was there no phone but my wallet had gone I was going mad I had also lost 200 euros one of my mates said calm down you must have it check your pockets again to which I replied ive got FUCKALL except this and slammed my passport on the bar we started to fall out angry and fuelled with alcohol one of my other mates dragged me away and said lets go and have a look over the wall you jumped so we walked back all the time me saying no way is it there.Well fucking hell my mate shined his phone torch and it was the on the floor my phone wallet matchticket and some coins fucking buzzing went back to the bar apologized and got the Jagermisters in got to our hotel about 3am checked in she asked for my passport and I did not have it I thought I left it in the taxi I got address for british Embassy but wasn't that bothered at least I had my wallet phone money match ticket and got all them back went to bed .3 of us went for breakfast then I went to get my other mate up to catch train to Barcelona centre he was getting his stuff together when he said by the way ive got your passport I picked it up when you slammed it on the bar LOL I had everything back what a fucking result.

Bit late to this but got told on Saturday that apparently there's a lad who didn't have a ticket for the game, so he went on the tour in the morning and hid in a toilet until kick off, now that is commitment, not to mention a world record for sitting in a bog.

Ha ha , few stories like this doing the rounds whilst at Barca , unfortunately there were no tours on the day of the game , so he either hid for over 24 hours or maybe just a bit of wishful thinking . Either way , this was a really great Euro Away trip even for those who did not have a ticket

 

[blue b4 the moon]

About half who went didn't have a ticket (of people I know) I've not spoken to anyone who didn;t get in.

Did anyone not manage to get aticket/blag it in?
