Where are you right now? (Europa League Final Special)

[eamonn]

Where the feck is SAW airport? Didn't realise their music production was so popular un the late 80s that they built an airport for their own roster of artists going on tour.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

No work today, or the for the rest of the week. Not got much planned,  just a few jobs round the house, to keep me busy.

Off to Hickory’s Kingswinford for a bite to eat later, and to watch the game in the sports bar with 20 or so friends and family (all Villa bar one black sheep Baggie), ages 7 through to 80, going to relish every second of the build up.

Beddgelert. Itinerary for today is Harlech castle, then the beach.
Back to the cabin for curry and then try to get online to follow the match with the lad (who is so nervous he didn't sleep last night bless him)

[Dave]

Working from the kitchen table. Taking the boy into town for dinner and watching the game from a pub still TBC, but current favourite - not watched any football in there since the day of the 2019 play-off final.

So that feels like an omen not to be passed up.

A short story of hope through despair

In 82 had tickets for coach and final in Rotterdam. Sunday evening strolling home from local pub to find blue flashing lights (When the Police actually turned up) at my moms house where i lived only to find house had been burgled. Me and my old mans tickets for coach and final and spending money - all gone
The pain has stayed with me for 40+ years

Watched the game on neighbours TV and the tears of joy from winning were mixed with sadness as i was not there. I like a few in the 90's, thought a long period of sustained success was to follow and there would be other opportunities........ Thanks to Ellis they never came

A while a go a great opportunity arose to visit Rome ( a place we have always wanted to go) but it was the day after the potential Europa league final. I edged my bets and thought "Vila will let us down like the FA cup semi, Conference league etc"  What a fool i am 

My missus has tried to console me saying that last time i did not go  - we won. Last time we played a German team them in red us in white we won.

God i hope she is right. Will probably not even have a drink tonight as have a 7am flight in morning....but if we do

Then Rome may be a bit of a blur

Looking out of the window thinking I must leave the room at some stage. Or maybe not.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

At home with plenty of housework to do to keep me busy!  Then going to my sister's to watch the game later on. I'm wavering between sheer nervousness and quiet confidence in us doing the business tonight.

Hope we all end up having a great time later!

How's the nerves Dave ? Today seems to be going so slow.

I've got a Hickory's about 200 yards from my house, didn't think to ask them.

I'm heading into town later, but not telling as I haven't got a table booked and don't want you shower nicking any spots.

Blimey, what a sad story. Horrendous. Have a great time in Rome, my favourite city. UTV mate

[Richard]

In office in South Yorkshire, the day is dragging and I dont finish until 6. Then off up to Huddersfield for a gig. Will be constantly checking the score and then watching a re run of the game when I get home - if we've won!!

Stansted Airport waiting at Gate 7.

[Pete3206]

At home.

Story for another time, but I couldn't go to Istanbul despite having the opportunity of a ticket through the Uefa ballot. Last Friday's game was bittersweet with the highs of beating Liverpool to secure our CL place mixed in with, at times, overwhelming disappointment of not being there today. The fans videos and vlogs have cheered me up however, and I hope you all have the best time tonight, have sore throats around midnight and the biggest hangover of your lives in the morning. UTV.
