I booked my Wembley hotel when we drew Burton but I’m afraid I can’t carry that arrogance over to the big one yet.

Few of us are thinking of this but not in Madrid, staying somewhere else and getting a train on the day, imagine being in Madrid and the fucking Dippers are in the final again.....
I believe Malaga is only a few hours away on the train, if anyone knows any different or anywhere better to book i'm open to suggestions.

Thats what I'm doing too. I have a flight booked to Granada and its 3.5 hours drive from there. I think its a 4 hour train from Malaga. I have a room that I can cancel for free in Madrid, but I've also got one for Istanbul in May 2020 as I like to be prepared. If we get knocked out I'll get to see a bit of Andalucia instead.Few of us are thinking of this but not in Madrid, staying somewhere else and getting a train on the day, imagine being in Madrid and the fucking Dippers are in the final again.....

I think the cost of getting to Madrid will ultimately make it prohibitive for a lot of supporters, which is why I'm not confident we will easily sell out 15k. That's a lot of supporters. I think it would go to very low points or to general sale, but I will be very happy to be proven wrong.
If we get to the CL Final and Thomas Cook put on 10 places, say 200 on each will that mean that 2000 people
who have never been to a City game can get a ticket.
Food for thought.
I dont think they could justify creaming 2000 tickets off a 15k allocation to the highest bidders! There would be uproar and i would be part of it. I have a SC, CL Membership and points (prob not enough) but would like to know im in a queue and 2000 arent going to jump ahead of me! They would prob charter planes and buses but Madrid is completely accessible in a whole range of ways so might not be worth their while for a 90 min flight.

booking.com usually let you cancel a day or 2 before. Just had a look for the Friday to Sunday and the prices would make you boke.... The airport is 900!! Airbnb the best bet

Just had a quick look at hotels, they are eye watering. Stopping somehwere else and training it would be an option, the problem being getting a return after the game.I booked my Wembley hotel when we drew Burton but I’m afraid I can’t carry that arrogance over to the big one yet.
If it happens some very creative thinking maybe required.

Yep. And still lots of hard cash I suspect!
I’m sure there will be loads of planes chartered coming in and out on the same day.
