Got 2 tickets for the friendly game next Thursday as probably cheaper than getting them for a home game!!
Going from Luton early morning and get to Alicante by midday and meeting an old member of the board, Marshy, who lives out there. Few beers in the afternoon sun and Elche is only 15mins drive from the airport. Kick off at 2030 Spanish time so back to the airport by midnight for 3hrs kip before the flight back.... all within 24hrs!
Flights only £140 return in total for me and the boy and tickets are only a tenner. Never seen us in Europe and maybe only chance for a few years yet!
Elche is the 20th biggest city in Spain and has the 5th biggest airport.... and a theatre and church etc.
Famous people from Elche include an architect, microbiologist and some tennis player bint I've never heard of.... unbelievably 3 eyed pilot Douglas Bader and all 6 of the Chuckle Brothers lived here in between the war and theatre shows....
The ground looks lovely and a big open air stadium probably full of Leeds fans!! 😉🙈👍
Usual squad minus Rasmussen, Adams, Aaronson, Drameh and Sinesterra....
I'll even give a weather forecast as Lord Sunnyflaps can't predict what is happening out of his own fkn window! It'll be a balmy 67°F / 19°C.... Scorchio ☀️☀️☀️☀️
I'll give a report on my return.... 👍☀️🍻
I hope klich doesn't go, or Ayling for that. Such a big part in best seasons we have had for 20 years. They deserve a good send off from Elland Rd, in fact bring berra and Pablo back for a game at the end of the season so they can have a proper send off and not one that was done in front of 8000 of us in that covid game.
