Forest Flights

[Le Juif Rouge]

On SkyNews they just said that Pompey will be flying to Manchester for the Burnley game on a commercial flight rather than their normal executive jet. I know sometimes a private flight can be reasonably economic but I thought coach travel was still the norm?
How will/do Forest get to Newcastle & Plymouth?

I don't know about Forest's travel plans but last saturday, Reading FC chartered an aircraft to fly the team from Farnborough to Blackpool for the Blackpool fixture.

The team played at Crystal Palace on Wednesday night a week ago and also had the West Brom replay to contend with and having the players spend 12 hours on a coach to/from Blackpool would create unnecessary fatigue.

Don't know how much it costs to charter a 30 seater aircraft but whilst it didn't help the Blackpool fixture, it probably helped with the WBA fixture and with the FA cup prize money - would have more than paid for itself.

I know in 2004 when we played Plymouth and lost 3-2 we flew down.

They flew to Dublin and Portugal.

Happy to help.

Do you think we flew to Washington for our pre-season tour in 2004?

I imagine, given the organisation at the time, they probably went by pedalo.

It would certainly explain what was to follow.

A poster on here asked billy to give him lift home from plymouth on the team coach but billy said something along the lines of, "..its more than my jobsworth..."

[FONT=&quot]For today’s match at Fester I believe they will fly from Tollerton Aerodrome - Setting off at [/FONT][FONT=&quot]12:30pm[/FONT][FONT=&quot] and arriving at [/FONT][FONT=&quot]East Midlands[/FONT][FONT=&quot] at [/FONT][FONT=&quot]12:35pm[/FONT][FONT=&quot].

From there they will be picked up (If they get through Customs on time) by several taxis that will take them on a sight seeing tour of little [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Bangladesh[/FONT][FONT=&quot] (Sorry) [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Leicester[/FONT][FONT=&quot] before being dropped of at the "Crisp Bowl" at around [/FONT][FONT=&quot]2:00pm[/FONT][FONT=&quot].

I had a feeling someone would suggest that they would fly over the Khyber Pass today

I've heard there will be no police at the ground today but if any trouble kicks off they will call in The Bengal Lancers.

Don't they all just pile into Earnies Hummer?
