I Was there, one of my abiding memories was standing on a roundabout in front of a bar after the match withabout 100 other lads watching the 10 bolton coaches travel in a police escort back to the airport, england flags adorning the bar, felt like little part of england as the local ultras wizzed round on scooters debating wether to have a go or not, needless to say they did not.

 

p.s.wonder if anyone of here has any photos from pisa, especially love to see aforementioned bar after the match.

Oh Aye.

 

Yet another time I had to take out a bank loan for a 'car' (bank must have thought I had a fleet of Ford Escourts) :pardon:

 

Proper day out, took about 600 and a good majority were notrights.

 

Remember the Utd fan who'd gone with his mate, only to be sussed by w###y (wearing a bandanafor some reason if I recall) and terrorised?

 

60 minutes constant 'we are the one and only wanderers' bought out the riot police who came, looked, looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and went again.

 

Uefa Cup?

 

Shite.

Aye, we were there ...... on the day-trip flight. Sounds easy enough but .....

We'd driven up from the South for the Gretna cup-tie on the weekend, stayed over with family, done the day trip to Pisa, then drove back to London at 2am when we landed - in time (more or less) for work. Mad !

Had a snack in a cafe in the afternoon, persuaded them to let us have the match poster in the window, got it signed by Jimmy Phillips (the Whites' goalscorer) at Pisa airport before the flight back. Great (unique?) souvenir.

But Plovdiv in the UEFA Cup was still very special.

Another one I was there. All I do remember was all the Wanderers fans singing we are the one and only Wanderers which continued for about 20 mins much to the bemusment of the locals who simply had never seen the likes.

A quality trip. I've got quite a few great pics & I'll load them up later this week for everyone.

 

This was our trip itinery:

 

1. Meet 7pm @ Chester Moonshines (Buffet King for you youngsters) & get pissed.

2. Around 11pm get National Express coach to London

3. (very early) - Fly to Pisa & check in a hotel there

4. get pissed

5. collect tickets from Pisa sporting club office - get pissed - go to game - fell into a copper whilst celebrating

6.(evening) - got too pissed & somehow ended up against the wall of a bar with guns being pointed us after slagging off the Italian army

7. Day 4 National rail strike scuppers our plan to travel to Bologna for the San Marino game - All local buses bsing used instead of local trains. We hire the local ice cream man 7to drive us there for about ?100

8. Watch England game & then spend the rest of the night trying to get a hotel room - which no one would let us have cos we were English.

9. Fly home to London - National express coach back

 

All in all a quality 3 days!

 

Hazzy - A European 100%er!

 

I nicked a poster off the wall in the ground & have still got it framed in my office at home. Only 2 in existance now - mine & my mates who got one at the same time.

went on a mini bus from the howcroft, top trip

 

all the 2nd half we were singing we are the one and only wanderers, a local lad from the hotel came in and stood with us in the 2nd half and thought we were all loonatics.

all the players were walking through the town before the game

 

the day after it was a rail strike,we picked up some chelsea fans who were in the stadium the night before and give them a lift to bologna for the england-san marino game.

 

was one of the coldest nights watching footy ever.l
