1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I could be wrong here and others may correct me, but I thought the Spanish Police were actually OK (for a change)They seemed a little more laid back in their approach. They were even happy enough to let me hang my banners up despite worries before hand that no-one would get in with flags etc. The stadium was an absolute shit hole that's falling to bits. I went for a pish at half time and got lost. Couldn't find where I was at all and fell down the steep steps too Valencia is bigger than I thought too. Very easy getting lost. Loads of streets all looked the same and you'd find yourself walking for miles in the wrong direction before realising.Was a really quiet trip for me. Had a good skinful on match day, was pissed in fact but the rest of the time I spent just walking about and looking at shit. Which is a first for me lol.On the night after the game, the first pint I had was when the Milan vs Real game kicked off lol.Forgot to bring my phone charger and it conked out on the first night Came back with the cold, though.

Did you use the wee Viet Cong chap's place across from your hotel? The vodkas and Fanta were huge. One of the boys I was with, flagged down a taxi after a few in there........to take him to the Silken Puerta!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the boys I was with, flagged down a taxi after a few in there........to take him to the Silken Puerta!! Haha. In the hotel the halfs they were pouring at the bar was huge. Two lads ordered a Bacardi and lemonade and the wee guy just opened the bottle and poured 2/3's of the way up the glass. Because my phone conked out, I shit myself about setting the alarm to get up in the morning at 7.30am so I decided to stay awake rather than sleep in. It got to about 4am and was watching Copland in Spanish when I had the brainwave to get reception to give me a wake up call wish I had thought of that earlier. I also lost a holdall in the ground with a flag in it, incase anyone came across it? long shot, I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 3,009 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I enjoyed the trip, result excepted, but the post-match singing was up there with the best. You're not having much luck with flags on your CL travels. Third time lucky in Turkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a sneaky feeling I was standing right next to you in the stadium in the 1st half.If thats the case then the guy from London, who I think you were with, was gonny take your flag with him so I guess you have got it back.I thought you had got the jail when you didn't return Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 I know mate. It's my own fault. I get too drunk.The lads in the Mestalla are better fans than me. I can tell you that right now. After getting beat the last thing I want to do is still sing my heart out and applaud the players.Good on them, I just can't do it. I want as far away from the stadium as possible after a pumping I think 3-0 flattered Valencia aswell. They deserves to win, but we didn't take our chances. The goals we conceeded were sloppy, 2 from full back areas - again! Nevermind. Sunday's game can't come quick enough to get back to winning ways.

stevoGers 17 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 i agree with ur opinion on the spanish police and the size of valencia,,it was huge!! only bad experience i had with the police was when we saw the players gettin on the bus after the match outside the stadium they totally surrouned us with horses and and wher quite heavy handed to get us as far from the bus as possible! lafferty was tryin to get off the bus to get a picture of us and they wouldnt let him off aswell!!! one fuker actually made his go strait for me! apart from that i had a great trip! dont know if anyone was ther but there was a great sash bash in a bar called Gordons on the nite before the match! i got up at 7 and went to the stadium then to get a tick which was sold to bears no problem at the ticket office! then on the nite of the match we went to a few bars and ended up in some niteclub called The MusicBox,,they wher more than happy to let us in with our colours on aswell which was surprising!All in all I had a great trip apart from the result!!
