Welcome back to the People's Republic of Beswick!
Glad to hear you're back safe and sound. See you for the home game against the shirtless ones!

Out of interest, how has Toure's complaint of racist abuse been reported in Russia?
Excellent trip, but bloody cold, great to meet up with fellow Blues there was a good camaraderie between everyone I thought. It's a strange city, part stunning, part 60's Hulme. Not sure I'd rush back, particularly with the visa hassle but pleased I went and saw Red Square, Kremlin etc. It would be nice to think that someone would put some measures in place to make travel easier for supporters before the 2018 World Cup but probably best not to hold your breath waiting. Big thanks to the unknown Russian guy who phoned my hotel for directions when, having successfully negotiated the metro system, I couldn't find my way out of the station ! Hope everyone got home safely.

Great trip, strange city, good win and next stop Munich.
Same ere mate, got home about 11:30pm! Went with a one stop strategy and hoped for the best. Sod driving from Gatwick again, next time i'll get the train i think. From leaving my hostel to getting in my bed, 15hrs! Madness.
Nice to meet some new lads over there, Danzone/Tom etc.. and cheers for sorting us out with a minibus back to Moscow! Good trip all round!

Got back yesterday early afternoon, our travel arrangements went really well, £236 (+visa) and no hotel bill is a welcome relief at the moment! The lads with me got to see the sights, although 30 seconds in a day and half threatened to ruin the whole thing......We were ambushed by a much larger group of thugs from behind in a public subway during rush hour, we had a guy with us who speaks Russian, they roughed us up few cuts and bruises, and made of with my flag. I know there were other incidents elsewhere. Gutted it happened, but also appreciate we were very lucky, if they had got the carrying case I had with me, all our travel docs passports etc were in there. Also grateful they weren't armed.... This happened in the tourist part of the City, near the KGB building close to Red Square, during the rush hour. Just goes to show that you can never me too careful, and whilst the trip had a lot of good memories for us, we are mindful of the fact how things could have been so much worse....... Stay safe Blues.....ctwd
