Who's going to Madrid?

Come on guys, let's have a good Newkit turnout!

I arrive Thursday late afternoon staying in Madrid that night. Three other Singapore mates (all Brits, the pub crew, we watch most of the games together) arrive Friday as does another scouser now living in Switzerland. Hotel prices are crazy so we're going to spend the day in town then hop the train to Valencia for the night in an Airbnb apartment for 20% of the price. Back into Madrid for sat'dee and the game!  Going through the night win or lose then me and a pal going straight to the airport to fly back to Singers 9am Sunday morning.

Got no ticket yet, 2 of us have, one got it face price through Anfield, one paid a fortune through a ticket office. I have two irons in the fire but no news yet. But there you go......

Who else is going?  :buttrock

In the ballot Friday, registered interest for Thomas Cook flights if lucky...….so if I am fortunate to win ,I will be ripped off by UEFA for the ticket price , mugged by Thomas Cook for a flight ….. I am not be held to ransom anymore by spivs, cheats and vagabonds... so if the crooks running the Champions Corporate Rip off League don't furnish me with a ticket , I ain't going...…

Prices are shocking to say the least. The goofs running the show are scam artists. They will make a huge fortune.
Screening ain't also happening at Anfield because i think their is a concert or somthing nearby.

I’m in Turkey on holiday for both the Europa League and the Champions League final.  Lots of cockneys stay at the hotel so the atmosphere should be good for both finals.

That’s a cracking plan Reg. Valencia has got some great architecture, fantastic walking scenery, amazing tapas and lots and lots of bars !! Enjoy !! If there is such a thing as sixth time lucky then I hope to god it works for Kloppo because he deserves a trophy and so do we  :laugh:

Lallana I thought you would we travelling in Hendo’s private jet - sorry couldn’t resist - enjoy!!  :laugh:

I'll probably end up watching the game in a bar with thousands of others.. long way to go for a pint.

Supersub, 4 in a 2 room apartment, 80 quid a night each - better than staying in a hotel.

The club have warned fans NOT to travel to Madrid without a match ticket, to avoid any problems.  :D

Looks like I failed in the ballot again with 3 season tickets in my family..... a friend of mine just got 2 in the ballot, just as he did last year.....Deja Vu or did they just use the same lottery machine result.... 30 years a season ticket holder means jack Sh*t....
