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?

Thumbs up a small correction...

...to the otherwise great report

the page title should read "Euros 2006 - Austria" (as Austria is a small but independent country - and not a part of France)

have fun,

paul

p.s.: hope your journey home was less stressy...
