The name? "Villa Emozione" (I think that means Villa Emotion). Perfect.Is there an Aldi next door to Wembley?When we win I'm staying in the area...might buy 2 bottles...those I'm with can get their own!;-)My expert consumer advice is to get a couple of bottles in now for the fridge and pop 'em when you get home.

Quote from: Pat McMahon on May 28, 2015, 08:56:43 PMReally disappointed for a mate of mine. He bought a ticket on the web and paid via PayPal last week. No sign of the ticket and the seller has stopped communicating, so looking ominous. Worst of all, a friend of mine came good with 4 tickets yesterday and I have them earmarked for some people I know but could have put one aside for him. Well, any spares, Pat, I'm sure I can unburden you.

So many scammers about. I'm sure you are aware, but PayPal and a credit card should ideally offer a couple of layers of protection; especially if it was credit card rather than debit I think you can call the bank to stop the payment going through, and I presume there is the paypal route too?Of course ideally not losing the money, does not bring the ticket to him :/Maybe if he travels and a spare comes up (given he's been ripped off already) people will think of you/him...(Obviously I know there are still plenty hunting, no disrespect to them...)On brighter notes, how great is this thread! So good chatting to neutrals who note how we can click/peak and want us to win...Fight like lions...Believe...Fabian leading them out. A loyal man. Who wants this badly. We have drive. We have determination. We have skill and flair. The scarves are made. A flag each. How much noise can we make?
On the subject of champers, I was anointed to a Gloucestershire fans tradition in 94. Fizz with breakfast before hitting Wembley. I was old enough to drink some in 96. I reintroduced it to start the weekend before the Bolton semi in 2000 but was not in charge of the final and so we didn't. 2010 was a blur of work both times and I arranged nothing. So for the semi final this time I left nothing to chance and took a decent bottle with me. Winner!The team for the weekend have all been informed they must take a bottle and start the day that way. And they are.Even if you can't be there, a cheeky glass of breakfast fizz is recommended. In fact, it is your duty!
He'll be able to put in a claim via Paypal for non-provision of goods purchased. Full details are on Paypal website.
Just been thinking that it may be a nice souvenir to buy a match programme. Are they worth buying and how much do they charge for them at Wembley? Did anyone get one for the semi-final?
