yeah I think it will be grand leaving the fan zone at 6pm, that gives you three full hours to find a bar that suits. I dont think every single bar in the city in going to be wedged, the Irish ones for sure but theres loads more. And if all else fails hop on the metro for 7 or 8 stops out to the burbs and watch it there. Just booked my bed for the Fri/Sat tonight and prices have definitely come down, there was hostels there on booking.com with beds for €40. They had been charging €150-200 straight after the semis and all of the last two weeks. I had been planning on hiring a van and just sleeping in the back of that for two night but I got sorted with a bed now for a decent price. Anyway Im flying out tomorrow morning, travelling alone so if anyone is in the same boat give me a shout and we'll meet up for pints
One of our lads booked that place but me and mate reckon it be swerved and we will wonder somewhere from the fan park. Heading tomorrow via a stop off and arrive tomorrow night. Friday will be a good day too!
Safe travels to all the reds especially Irish Kop lads! Bring yourself & big ears home....Allez Allez Allez!!!!
It is already too warm for a ginger bearded man such as myself. Dropping stuff now and getting into town for some tapas and Mahou!
There’s a big screen in Puerta Del Sol square, could be bigger but not bad! Hopefully there are a couple more around the city too.
It's on ground level, if they propped it up it would be visible to tens of thousands. I can't see why they wouldn't set up a proper big screen.
Only thing is, noticed that it’s at one end of the square that’s going slightly downhill, so won’t have a repeat of the Sandon on the last day of the season!
Anybody else flying back with Ethiopian airlines on Monday morning? Really struggling to find out any info re cabin baggage allowance.
I'm not flying with them, but it states on their website that you get 7kgs free of charge to carry on with max dimensions of 23 x 40 x 55 cm. https://www.ethiopianairlines.com/ID/EN/information/baggage/carry-on-baggage
