    We had an Australian (and former London Tyke) fly in from Adelaide for the Millwall game. He can’t make it this time but does still support us from afar via ifollow etc.

    present... I tried the non-stop flight from Perth... 17hours .... but I think I prefer it to dropping down into dubai for a couple of hours..

    My missus is in Southern Italy on a tour... she was viewing some old churches down there.. I got her to go back in there and light a candle and say a prayer for Barnsley FC.

    (I saw your bro int Greyhound)

    Not my typical route, but circumstances are dictating that I'll be starting the day very early from somewhere close to Le Mans in France and hoping that UK and French roads, plus Eurotunnel, oblige to get me there on time.

    I always forget how vast Northern France is, so the first leg to Eurotunnel is a deceptively long 220 miles, albeit the roads should be fairly empty. Fingers crossed!

    He's never out of there Mick, it's his 2nd home. Whereabouts are you sat in the stadium? If you're nearby I'll pop.over for a chat. I'm in block 241

    235.... same level as you .. light blues ... but towards the corner flag to your right. i wanted your seats, but hey... i took whatever they said. I was on the train and it was cutting out, I was pretending to be someone else (who'd kindly let me have his ST details) I wanted five so maybe they had to go that far to get five together.

    if it gets sleepy I'll walk around and find you.....

    Haha, doubt it will get sleepy. I assume we can walk underneath the stand to each block so if possible I'll have a look at 235 before I go up.
    P.S. There was a Wednesday fan on "Look North" who they reckoned was a Superfan because he'd flown in from Adelaide. Shame you weren't put forward in response to that, surely Sydney is further away!
