    Flying to games

    Should be ashamed you ex-pats

    Seriously though something should be done about these short flights by Premier league clubs

    Let’s not forget about the climate change that some of these clubs are supposedly supporting, hypocrites

    I also wonder how much time some of these flights actually save when you consider time spent travelling to the airport ,hoarding everyone off and through the terminal,boarding,waiting for clearance,taxiing,take off,flying the route,descending,taxiing to the terminal,getting off and hoarding everyone through the terminal and boarding another means off transport and then travelling to either a hotel or stadium. If it saves an hour you'd be lucky so I'd say it's a vanity project.....a bit like pop stars who like to turn up in limos!

    It isn't just premier League clubs

    Cardiff flew up last week - East Midlands I think it was.

    Last time I drove to Cardiff it took me 2 hours. I bet Cardiff City took a lot longer last week.

    So - they are responsible for the freak monsoon that stopped the game.
    Give the three points to us!

    Hypocrites indeed but football is full of empty gestures

    PSG were fined for flying to a game. If a train can get to a destination within a certain amount of time then you can’t fly.
