Travelling fans

Andrew Powell

01 May 2008

IT SEEMS bonkers doesn't it that tens of thousands of Manchester United and Chelsea fans are having to fly to Moscow to see their beloved teams fight it out in the Champions League final, when presumably Wembley is sitting empty on that same date.
Still, the venue was set in stone many months ago, and the fans will no do doubt move heaven and earth to get there, even if the mass migration won't do much for the environment with all those extra planes having to be laid on.
Never mind, ironically there's at least one Chelsea fan who presumably won't have to travel far to get to the match - club owner Roman Abramovich!
