I went to Brescia a few weeks ago. Watched the champions league final there in a bar. Thought to myself what a great away day it would have been. Would certainly have trumped any from last season destination wise.
went to Brescia by coach. Seem to remember the little bar in our hotel had sold out about an hour after we arrived. Remember strolling into the local village and the little shop there being unable to cope with the sudden influx of customers.
I also went on the coach to Brescia - it has left brilliant memories and was so well organised by the Supporters Club - as has been said, coach / accomodation and match ticket all for a bargain price (Ive got £67 in my mind). Sunday evenings in the run up to the game listening to RTM for all the info about the trip from Airman - first competitive game in Europe , a totally new experience. In qualifying we played at the New Den for the first time and won ( 2-1 from memory ?) plus the Ancona game marked the first ever goal in Europe in the 1-1 draw, having lost 2-0 at Brescia. Superb memories !

I think we drew with the spanners but beat the filth to enable us to go to Italy.

Remember the ferry being closed to all football fans on the way home because of trouble with the England Fan coming back from Holland. it was the night England lost to Holland under Graham Taylor and missed out on the world cup.
I remember thinking why didn't I fly.
I was coming back from the Holland that night, don’t remember there being any problems with the ferries?
That’s because we had to wait until all England fans had cleared the port, of which you were one.
