Post Euros Thread

Hands up if your flight has been cancelled after sitting at the departure gate for 6.5 hours and you are stuck in a hotel and the euros is looking less and less likely.

Just me then ?



Euros Page - Will be updated when possible

What was the reason for flight Delay Jim, security or just shear backlog?

Yeah something wrong with the plane aparently, really poor communication from the airline I have to say. Vicky is looking for other flights - gonna try get on an early flight tomorrow or see if KLM will put us on a BA direct flight (yeah, right, we can dream).

Hope glyn is looking after my gear! He'll be using the cameras if i cant go! haha

Yea rob, its manchester airport, were stuck here with sky high BOOZE prices too, if you feel like making an offie run for us, give me a shout! haha!!

just seems strange to me.. other racers have been cancelled at other airports, and been told they cannot be certain their planes will fly. and manchester say they are fixing a plane, using an engineer from birmingham.. whats wrong with the ones they have got?!

all this while tony blair is on holiday

hope its all sorted for you in the morning jimmy.

Sorry Jimmy I'd love to perform an emergency booze drop for you but I'm on my 2nd bottle of Merlot already. Reckon my racing at Bury Metro could be a wee bit random tomorrow!

Seriously, I hope things get sorted for you and all the other euro bound racers.

I'm assuming Jimmy n' Vicky have gone to the Euros as they said last night they would contact me if anything went wrong. I've heard nothing yet so its looking good for them.
