Gonk Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 The Happy Duck / The Corner Bar, Wednesday night. A Special atmosphere, everyone tingling with anticipation of the first away adventure in Europe with your team. The last 15 minutes in the ground.
pike_mill_white Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Just one moment for me stands out (among many) - Plovdiv own goal just as we started thinking we were going out of Europe on our first away day. Magic atmosphere celebrating that goal. An own goal at that!
buckhurstwhite Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Far tooooooooo many magical moments to pick one or two out in particular. The travel (planes, trains and automobiles), the booze, the singing, the flags, and last but not least meeting a great bunch of people from WW made for some very happy memories. Bring it on in six months time.
Casino Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 not least meeting a great bunch of people from WW made for some very happy memories good point on the whole the football was pretty poor stuff, but the wways family grows and grows you know theres gonna be somebody you know at just about every turn
Guest Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 1) Planning the trips. Never before have I hammered Travelocity, Opodo and the like. 2) The bar at Gatwick airport on our way to Varna - the first of many Euro sessions was beginning. 3) Being pissed on the plane to Varna and then on the coach to Sunny Beach 4) Falling down the steps at the Happy Duck 5) Meeting and chatting to Amir Khan about racial tension in Bolton 6) Having to be walked back to my hotel in Sunny Beach cos I was that wrecked 7) Discovering we were in the same hotel as the ??600 Exec brigade and seeing their faces in the morning when they realised we'd done it on the cheap!! Being on the beach in front of the Happy Duck on the day of the game with the sun beating down thinking "it doesn't get better than this" 9) Meeting so many BWFC lads who have either given up going or don't take it as serious anymore 10) The coach from our hotel to the match in Bourgas - quality. 11) The goals in Bourgas. Another piss-poor performance, saved by a great comeback in the last ten minutes. Awesome 12) The Loko PD flares - respect for that moment it was something we are not accustomed to and it looked great 13) Doing 3 nights in Istanbul for less than ??200 when the club were charging ??335 for a day trip 14) Getting wrecked on the flight out and singing the German Bombers song whilst in mid-air on a Lufthansa flight! 15) The day of the match in Istanbul - awesome 16) Being told my face was all over the internet (as well as my sick) on the Friday afternoon - whilst most were back in Blighty, I was still on the piss in Istanbul 17) The square in Guimaraes. Surely one of the all-time great moments for any BWFC fan who was present. 18) Seeing so many other Wways members getting wrecked and making fools of themselves. Respect! 19) Drinking zero alcohol in the ground but not knowing about it until the following day 20) The beach balls! And the fountain of foam!!! 21) Vaz Te's goal - what a belter! 22) Wednesday night in Marseilles - fantastic and my favourite day of all the Euro experience. 23) Seeing a few mates who have completed their 3 year bans lapping up the Euro experience 24) Going 1-0 up in the Stade Velodrome! What a moment 25) Meeting Richard Gere in the Old Port at night

Guest squidgy66 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 People falling over H - spectaularly falling down three rows on Thursday and ending up on his back - getting up then shouting abuse at some complete stranger - "I fcuking told you I was going to fall" Monsieur Satan doing it with less flair falling into a barrier trying to give it what for with his clackervalve
brixton Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I`ve been lucky enough to go on all four european trips and they`ve all been superb. I got beaten up in Bulgaria, got p*ssed in Turkey, pepper sprayed in Portugal and had a ride in a police van in Marseille and I wouldn`t swap any of it. The night before the Plovdiv game in the Happy duck and the corner bar , outside the bar in istanbul, the squares in Guimaraes and Marseille are memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The whole European experience was awesome and i hope we qualify next year. [-o<

A Special atmosphere, everyone tingling with anticipation of the first away adventure in Europe with your team. The last 15 minutes in the ground. "Please stop jumping up & down the bar is about to fall down"!! Plus the lap dancing joint just up from the corner bar - Go Go Girls I think, I might be wrong? a bit dodgy with the local mafia running it but some decent snatch.

Guest Uncle_Northy Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Hard one to call euro 88 in germany or euro 92 in sweden But i'll go for 88 in germany
Smiley Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 The whole European experience was awesome and i hope we qualify next year. [-o< Whilst I am more of an addict and hope we qualify again this year.

Zozzy Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Swapping my Wanderers shirt for a Marseille Ultras shirt with one of their top lads who looked after us and took us to their pub. Meeting Didier Deschamp at the airport who autographed my new shirt.
Supersyd Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 http://www.zen64045.zen.co.uk/extremeradio/flashvideo.html Sends tingles down my spine. Quality.
Guest vjbwfc Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 it was my first european experiance (just come off a 3yr ban) it was ONE of the best days ive ever had as a wanderers fan and the fecking coldest , there was alot of well known faces out there which was very nice to see , also made me feel that we would be quite safe out there , i will never forget that day , lets hope that theres more of the same next season .
Corny Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Square in Quimaraes Vaz te's Goal and realisin we had qualified after the pompey game last season was a pretty good feelin...if it counts as a european moment!
Big Kev Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 The cheering after the own goal then Nolan's winner against Plovdiv was awesome - the best I have ever experienced! That footage brought it all back - fantastic!
