If we get past Real Madrid this evening, having just spent a couple of hours looking at options for travel to/from Paris, then unless City organise transport on a large scale, independent travel is going to be difficult and expensive.
There are limited options left to get into Paris. There is little availability left for cars travelling by ferry. Some non-direct flights from Manchester still have seats available, but are not direct and are expensive, with longish stopovers in other European cities, and no return flights back till the morning after the match. Coach travel from Manchester with National Express is booked up, and would be reliant on the ferry crossings. Trains into Paris are available from other cities, but there are no return trains until the morning after the match, so you can’t get back to the city you arrived from. There is nowhere left to stay in Paris, everything is booked up except for a few remaining hotels that are charging thousands of pounds.
Unless City charter a lot of planes, then I have no idea how 20,000 Blues are going to get there and back.
Allowing one teams fans 24 more hours to book travel and accommodation is a piss-take.
It is more of an issue when that team is also from the same region. It means more to them remember. They will take 100,000 over there.
