Europa League Final

[Deleted member 48881]

There's plenty of ways of getting there, arsenal and Chelsea fans would of known there's a great chance of making the final once they were in the last 16.

You can get there from places like Dubai, Qatar, Moscow, istanbul, Frankfurt.
They could of got flexible tickets with a 100% refundable policy.
Would of taken a few more hours but still.

yep this, lots of flights from Istanbul, Frankfurt, Moscow etc. They were just lazy and careless. Yes it would take about 5 hours but it is not an impossible task LOL

I think if we were in the final we would have sold our allocation no problem, but I heard a guy on talksport this morning saying that it had cost him £1000 for flight and accommodation, plus he has booked a week off work and his match ticket was £70. Not that bad really. I would pay it to see Everton,because it doesn't happen everyday but I understand many fans don't have the funds or the days to take off work. Also I do think that Arsenal and Chelsea fans have a bit of an attitude to them, like they are "too good" for anything other than the Champions League or Premier League. I remember the 2009 FA cup final and Chelsea fans leaving before the trophy was presented.

The other thing they mentioned was that because Azerbaijan is not in the EU, using your phone is mega expensive there, £50 for 5mb of data, proper scandalous

Only at the reasonable cost of £700-800 too.

that's because they were too late to grab it. No flight is cheap when you book that late.

Arsenal season tickets are out tomorrow which has put people off due to the cost of them, seems a stupid time to release them

They didn’t know they were in the final.

They didn’t know they were in the final.

As noted above, they should have gone with %100 refundable tickets during SFs or even QFs. I would have done that.

Tbf not every airline or travel company does that

Whose leading the betting by the way?

You'd have to think Arsenal are favourites, considering the disarray in the Chelsea camp and the fact that the Arsenal players seem unified over wanting to win it for Henry Mkhitaryan?

A lot of Southerners on the move this week.

That's not true, I've been to Baku and I got 50gb of Data for €15 from a company called Azercell

Sam Matterface is there today and said it on Talksport this morning, maybe if you go out of your way and get a pay and go deal from Azercell, you can get it cheaper but not if you are using your normal UK network phone

If it was Everton i wouldnt go, too far, too much £££, holding it there is just stupid, New York would of made more sense

 

[Simon Buttle]
