RE: The official CHELSEA Champions of Europe 12/13 Season Thread

I hope I come back every year and create the same thread - that would be something. Now onwards and upwards, my Wife is expecting our first born anyday now - it`s been quite a year so far!

The official CHELSEA Champions of Europe 12/13 Season Thread

Moscow `08, I had a ticket to the Champions League Final that a friend managed to get me on his allocation. I then set about looking for travel options/accommodation. The flight to Moscow was £3000.00, the hotel another £2000.00. 

I wasn`t able to go. Not for that money, no way. I gave my friend back his ticket and he sold it. 

I watched John Terry slip in my living room, gutted.

Get this, a few weeks later a friend told me that his Dad had ordered a private jet and they had flown to Moscow and back that night......with two empty seats. Double Gutted.

I`m adamant that if i`d been there, we`d have won - i`m that superstitious.

This time there`s no way i wasn`t going - unfortunately I spent weeks and weeks after the Barca game trying to get a ticket. Everyone I knew was going but me, and as I gave up my season ticket for financial reasons I couldn`t get to the final - no-one knew of a ticket, anyone likely to have a ticket....nada.

Thursday, 17th May - I get a phonecall from my friend with the rich Dad, offering me a seat on the private jet to Munich. I didn`t have a clue what to do, but I thought stuff it i`m going. Then I started ringing around my mates again, they were in Munich and one of them tells me there`s a guy walking around with a banner offering to buy a ticket for 2000 euros.

So now i`m nervous,  i`m going to get there and not get anywhere. Worse still, the flight leaves at 4pm on the Saturday, leaving us an hour and a half to get to the Stadium and for me to find a ticket. I`m also not the best flyer so the thought of going to Germany and back on a small jet isn`t that appealing. My friend talks me into coming with, at least to Luton Airport where there maybe people waiting for their jets with extra tickets - at Luton I was laughed at by a few people, others just scowled at me.

I got on the plane, an 8 seater Lear Jet - on a private jet no-one turns their phone off, in fact they keep talking to their friends until about 600 feet and then the signal goes. By now i`m sh**ting my pants. My friend`s Dad cracks open the Champagne - I decided to get a bit plastered to get rid of the fear.

An hour or so later we`re landing at some Military Airport somewhere in Bavaria - it was only at the moment I realised that I hadn`t managed to get any cash out. The Luton airport terminal for private jets isn`t the normal terminal, so they have tea and coffee but no cash machines. The Munich Military airport was even less welcoming.

Three Limos were waiting for us however, for 8 people. Crazy.

The driver of my limo was a Bayern supporter and on the way he told me I was nuts to try and find a ticket. However he was going to watch the match in the limo and offered me the possibility of watching the game in the limo if i couldn`t find a ticket.

At the Arena, we all got out and the others asked what I was going to do. The first thing was to get some cash - but did you know that Allianz Arena is outside Munich in the middle of nowhere. My friend then pulled out £500 and gave it to me. He`s a builder and apparently he`d been owed money left, right and centre and they`d all settled up on that Friday.

So now I`ve got £500 and i`m standing at the V.I.P entrance. Standing there are some Bayern Supporters with handwritten signs asking for tickets. One of them offered me a piece of paper, I then asked a policeman for a pen and write "Need 1 Ticket desperately - Lifelong Chelsea Supporter". 

A few people asked me what I would pay, but they walked off when I told them £400 (well you need some bartering space). It was now getting close to game time and i`m standing outside the allianz, a bit hazy, a bit dehydrated and getting more than a little anxious. 

Someone then offers me a ticket for 3000 euro - I tell him I can`t afford it. I`m then beckoned over to the bus park area. Suddenly I`ve got 15 blokes standing around me and they all look a bit dodgy. I`m about to be mugged. I step back i`m freaking out - and then they tell me they`ve got me a ticket. One of the guys then opens up an envelope and shows me two tickets - he then says " you`re a Chelsea supporter, I want you to have this" , I asked how much - and he then hands it to me for nothing. I`m dumbfounded. He then tells me that 2 of his mates haven`t turned up. I`m in.

I`m a superstitious man, and I was there to watch us win the Champions League - someone up there willed me to be there. I prayed and prayed and prayed during the game and when Didier stepped up to take that penalty i knew it was in the bag. It wasn`t a great match, but it was a great match for me. 

Life doesn`t get much better. 

So I thought I never see a Chelsea Season Thread on here - usually it`s Man U, Liverpool or Arsenal - but for a change, for me and for my little trip - it`s good way to start a thread....


Championes!

Need a DVD Region Hack for the Samsung HT-C7200

Any Help, much appreciated

RE: So what`s the overall opinion on the iPhone?

Having some small issues with 3.0, seems some of the apps aren`t working at their best on the new firmware and MMS isn`t working yet. I like the fact they`ve fixed some niggling defects - such as the swipe delete on the mail working properley.

My 3GS arrives early next week and i`ll give you some lowdown then.

Peace!
