The journey begins

 24th May 2109

Well, after what seems like never ending hours of planning, I am finally on my way to Baku!
First leg was a short 300 mile car ride from South Cumbria to Watford on a Friday before a bank holiday.
I discover on arriving in Watford that UEFA have laid on extra train cpacity from Tbilisi to Baku, set up bus links from Tbilisi to Baku and increased capacity on flights including more direct services into Baku! FFS UEFA, too late!!And if Baku airport really could handle 10,000 passengers an hour, then all 65,000 attendees of the game could be cleared in under 7 hours!? Someone somewhere is telling big porkies!
I have done some travelling in my time, but never had such a convoluted trip to travel a 6,500 mile round trip.
Anyway, I am beyond caring about that now, I am just excited to finally have begun my epic journey. Day off tomorrow other than collecting my match ticket in London tomorrow and meeting some fellow GGs for a few light refreshments in the afternoon/evening.

The Atmosphere Builds the Night Before

28th May 2019 Disappointed with the accommodation, we were determined to go out and meet up with our fellow Gooners for an odd beer or ten. We gathered at the Red Lion Pub (where else?!) and there was already quite a crowd there chanting, drinking and relieved that they had finally made it to Baku! There was a basement bar next to the Red Lion. Harry's bar, which had quicker service but seemed to have random pricing. Never really negotiated prices in a bar before but it seemed to be the local thing to do. The street outside was filling up and bemused locals and hardly bothered police watched on. One of the Arsenal players, Mesut Ozil is really liked in Azerbaijan because of his Turkish connections. The locals watching on smiled when we started chanting about him. Much beer was drunk and no food eaten! Perhaps more than I would have liked, but I really enjoyed the evening. I made my way back to the 'shithole' apartment around 3am...went to bed and hoped I was not goi...

No Arsenal Shirts to be Seen

30 May 2019 A quiet and sad day in Baku for me and other Gooners who had had such high hopes. But the result was what it was and now I had a couple of days to have a better look around Baku and to have yet another kebab for lunch! 😂  We took a walk down towards the seafront. It was a quiet morning and there was not an Arsenal shirt to be seen, but more Chelsea shirts than we seen outside of the stadium all week! Suddenly it seems, the city had gone from Red to Blue. Another thing we noticed is the number of police/security people had dropped dramatically. Walking past the Fan Festival areas, the dismantling of it was well underway. Some of the inflatable items were looking just like we were feeling....deflated!   We took in the sights The weather was also reflective of our mood! We even took a trip on an electric Venetian-esque gondola And there is a carpet museum And someone was not going to launch their amazing milkshake at the nearest...

Match Day gets better....at least until just after half time

Image
29th May 2019 I had not come on a marathon trek to Baku be miserable, so I was determined to get out and enjoy the day. I had never worn an Arsenal shirt to a game, nor indeed worn a football shirt since I was about 9 years old, but I had bought one for the final. Surprisingly I was able to buy a shirt in Barrow in Furness and happily it was less than half price, the week before I left for Baku. I had it personalised at The Emirates stadium before I set off for Baku. I put on my shiny new shirt on and set off for the Arsenal Fan Zone nearby to check arrangements for the buses to the stadium later on in the day. Steve managed to drag himself out of bed and joined me. Wearing Arsenal shirts around Baku today got even more attention and thumbs up from the locals. At the fan zone, there was a distinct lack of fans! Plenty of UEFA volunteers were there for meet and greet duties and some drinks stalls were being set up. Steve got interviewed, yet again, by the BBC World Service whi...
