Went to Valencia and Besiktas and I agree Istanbul just about came out on top. Both great though. One day maybe, just maybe, the San Siro

I've heard other fans say some of the other matches were their favourite but the Valencia game was our day in the sun, so to speak, for me and my lot. Absolutely brilliant day. |

Makes me a laugh all this Valencia wasnt the best. All this 'close knit' bollocks with the few that went turkey. No close knit about it 99% of the following were shirters in a police escort.

We hit lucky mate with the weather as it was freaky for that time of year If the two games had been the opposite way around the day we played at the Brit Valencia was having heavy rain and a cool 5 degrees !!! |

I did Hajduk Split and Valencia and they were both fantastic experiences in different ways. Less of us in Split but what an intense atmosphere! I took my two sons to Valencia with me and it was great to be part of an enormous band of brothers there too! Let's hope for more of the same......soon |

Reminds me of one of ours who ate everybodys spare fried eggs on a stop off on the drive from Madrd to Valencia at 9.00 in the morning,we were all given 3 eggs with our steaks.He consumed around 10 eggs.
Drank himself stupid all day ,missed the match then finally shat himself when we found him wrapped around a lamp post after the game..Lovely .
Strange as hes our best drinker normally by far.Good old Beefy.

Went to Valencia and Besiktas and I agree Istanbul just about came out on top. Both great though. One day maybe, just maybe, the San Siro I went to the San Siro a few years ago when Newcastle played Inter in the CL 2-2, a great trip, our tickets were in their end just around the corner from the flares lot. |

Nothing to rave about out there, not even good numbers..... Just to put this into context our taxi driver out of Istanbul was mightily impressed by our following claiming it to be one of the biggest they'd had in terms of numbers and better than Liverpool and Chelsea to the same city. 912 away supporters a couple of weeks before christmas was not a "poor number". It was in fact very impressive. I can't split Kiev and Isreal from my European experiences and I did them all. Croatia was something to behold as well in terms of hostility. |

The laundarette is just one of those surreal things that doesn't ring true if you weren't there. I had an amazing week in Isreal. Jerusalem, swimming in the dead sea and watching Stoke. Unbelievable times! |
