      All good things come to an end Ed (as you Reds well know).
      If he does leave in two years time, he’ll go with our blessing and best wishes for the unbelievable memories he’s left with us over the last seven years (regardless of the outcome of the PL charge issue)

        Giblues, great memories for you and your son mate

        I remember in 2005 Liverpool fans saying it was a nightmare to get to that ground

          Can’t remember a great deal off the top of my head on Man United’s Treble celebration and parade; it’s a shame the Thunderstorm had to let out early evening yesterday, but I was thinking for a team reaching unique history of incredible achievements should really have gone a little more out of their way for the supporters.

          They should have scheduled something for this weekend. I remember Leicester using Vicky Park for their Title celebrations with live music entertainment.

          Did anybody really want to see Jack Grealish pour champagne all over himself?!

            Grealish likes partying too much, its not a good sign, I should know I was a contender myself.

              Nil, this weekend was not an option, mate – international matches scheduled, unfortunately.

                Hi Sean.
                UEFA really could not organise the proverbial ‘piss up in a brewery’, mate.

                The ground was at least an hour on the shuttle buses (SB)/metro. I think about 30km outside the city centre.

                The queue for SBs was over an hour, with no shelter, in full sun and temps of around 25′. They also prevented you from taking bottles of water on the buses saying that there was water on sale at the fan parks next to the ground – a 300 ml carton of water was 2.50 Euros. We heard reports of people being sick and passing out on the SBs, on the way to the ground.

                The fan park ran out of beer at 6pm (four hours before ko)

                You could only pay by card or in Euros in the fan park – they would not accept the local currency (Turkish Lire).

                We got back to the SB park (10 minute walk from the stadium) after the match and presentation, at 1:30am. We then waited 20 mins for a SB and then were stuck in the car park (because of the number of vehicles and totally inadequate exit) for a further one and a half hours. SB journey back to city took about 45 mins.

                In the stadium, there were only two (large) kiosks selling food and drink – I queued for one and a half hours to get two burgers (which were average, at best) and two medium bottles of water, paying 28 Euros for the ‘privilege’.

                Apart from all of this, we really did have truly wonderful and memorable trip – probably only because we won the CL.

                  My other thought Gj is if the club and council get together to stage a free event perhaps before the start of the season.

                  Just feels a bit rushed and over and done with.

                    Yep, that’s a good idea mate and I agree – a bit more thought should have gone into it. It’s not everyday you win a treble.
                    (I’ll give Khaldoon a call 😉)
