Can you remember

Madrid 97
Vienna
Bruges
Copenhagen
Porto
Seville
Madrid 17
Eindhoven
Rome

All great trips, the standout for me was the first Madrid trip, flew out, night in hotel, missed the fiasco that was the bus journey.
Vienna, was in the right place at the right time the whole time there, missed the clashes with the slavs.
Bruges was brilliant, strong beer made by monks, sunshine & 3-0
Copenhagen, an eye opener financially & freezing cold but loved it.
Porto, outside the bars by the river, great place to get hammered before seeing your team get hammered.
Seville, cruzcampo, beautiful city, adios Claudio.
Madrid, again, CL quarters this time, our European pinnacle. Plod get angry in Plaza Mayor.
Eindhoven, pleasant enough city, took forever to get in & out the stadium as did Rome another fantastic city with not so fantastic fans.

Top tales tudor! I can identify with plenty of that.

If my memory serves me correctly (and some of the alcoholic excess on these away trips may well explain why it doesn’t) we bumped into each other in the drunken wilderness on the endless schlepp back from the Bruges game back into town. When we eventually got there the whole square was still buzzing with City fans. Halcyon days indeed!
 
Reading all these nostalgic recollections makes me think a Roofer’s Special Fanzine of typically idiosyncratic tales of our European (and beyond) trips would be a great and highly amusing read.

I got a lift back with some locals. 6 of us in the car I reckon. Had one chap’s misses day on my lap for 20 minutes back into town!!

Brugge was the best one. The first Champions League game. A fantastic city and welcoming locals. Magnificent really.

I somehow managed to do flights, trains. and hotels for Randers for £120 each for my mate and I. Absolutely crackers.
 
As if to prove that someone at the club reads The Roof, they had just published this on YouTube.

I also went to Celtic for the pre season game in 2016.

Have I forgotten any? I’m surprised none are Eastern European.

I didn’t do the first Atletico game.

I didn’t go to Moscow or Athens, or Rennes or Rome. What other games have I missed?

OH Leuven pre season friendly

I missed Rennes as I was saving me holidays for the final in Tirana. Cancelled me hotel while we were kept in the stadium in Rome!

Wish I'd gone to Moscow!
 
I think me (International Care In The Community Co-ordinator: Thomas Crook Esq.) and CharleyFarley were the only ones of this Parish to decide, as we'd already booked the flights and accommodation, "Fuck it! Let's go!" so off to Tirana we went. We had 3 nights there and had a great time. A really interesting city well worth the visit. Obviously if we'd have made it to the Final it would have been so much more of a blast. C'est la vie pop pickers!

Fair play to you both. I too booked up pre semi final but accommodation was refundable so decided to swerve it.
