I would also consider any trip there to be gruelling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sne Posted March 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2022 Players could so easily pay for the flight if they cared to. Wouldn't even make a dent in their daily salaries. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the aim surely is to get them there in a way that gets them the best possible opportunity to perform. Private jet beats the bus in that regard. (Almost) no one cares enough about the environment to make changes that makes life uncomfortable for themselves. And certainly not the football industry.

Going to away games in that London, several times coming back up to where I live in the North West of England I've been on the same train as other football clubs - Blackburn Rovers, Man Utd. etc, if they've had a game in London on the same day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post S-Platt Posted March 15, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yep the last bit of The Boro statement is spot on! "Given the reasons for these sanctions, for Chelsea to seek to invoke sporting "integrity" as a reason for the game being played behind closed doors is ironic in the extreme." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Love the contempt from Gibson. I think he speaks for the rest of us. I hope Boro **** crush them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 At a time when they probably need to be garnering sympathy within the footballing community they sure are going about it the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine British rail fares are outside of their imposed travel budget per game. British rail fares may have been outside of their previous travel budget for games!

MakemineVanilla Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Havertz has said in a news conference that he will pay his own travelling expenses. Earlier reports were obviously misleading and deliberately so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
