gandalf Posted 28 March, 2010 Share Posted 28 March, 2010 At 02:00 UK time I was taking off from JFK New York Airport, by 12.50 I was sitting in my seat in block 203 slightly dazed. I took early retirement last September and promised my wife a trip to NY at around my birthday but panic set in when I found out the date and time of the final. But with the help of a friend we were met at Heathrow and my wife was taken home. I then picked up my car, drove to Harrow on The Hill, caught the tube, met up with my son and rounded off an extremely pleasant week. Special thanks to Kuwait Airlines for landing 1 hour ahead of schedule!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishsaint83 Posted 30 March, 2010 Share Posted 30 March, 2010 Got up at 3am - missed the bus so had to get a taxi take me 50miles to Belfast City Airport. Arrived at 4:50 - no airport bars open. Met up with 4 more Irish Saints fans who arrived shortly after me. Got through security and amazed to find several more Saints and even Carlisle fans. 6:30 am, ryanair took off for London Stanstead. Boarded the Stanstead Express and cracked open a beer. Arrived at liverpool street, got tube to baker street and changed for wembley park. Arrived at wembley for about 9:30am ish.... walked wembley way - hair standing up. Awesome, trecked to ticket office with one of the Irish Saints fans, his ticket had not arrived in the post on time so had to collect from the west ticket office - when he got it we were fLuking amazed - his seat was directly behind me up in block 531.... brilliant - walked round wembley and down to Ibis - checked in and got stuck into more beers. Met some Saints fans who couldn't believe we had a Supporters club in Ireland. Anyway, headed up to wembley for about 1, into the ground, found my seat and the rest was history.
