Excuse for a holiday somewhere warm and the chance to celebrate with their own in the place where they could've won a European Trophy, I'd guess. And yes, they'd have had to charter an extra 100 flights to fit all the extra Wednesday fans
I got a glasgow mate over there... motor mechanic, married a kiwi woman, couple of kids, boy must be 20 now and a good footballer... His dad has been 35 years away from glasgow... Doing a three week pilgrimage.... scotland, family, football, Rangers... He stays true...
If Barnsley get a pre season friendly down the road at Gainsborough Trinity I'd be struggling to make the ten minute journey. Not a proper fan, me.
I think it was a slight exaggeration. Think of the affect on the Scottish economy of 80,000 adults,missing work all at once.
I can believe it. I’ve seen groups of them at different services in the north of England & my mate saw plenty flying from Manchester airport.
