Left Calgary at 9:50am (local time) on Tuesday morning and flew to Toronto. Flew from Toronto to Lisbon, then Lisbon to Seville, arriving at 9:30am (local time again), on the day of the game.

Left Seville not long after the final whistle and got a lift to Faro airport. Flew from Faro to London, London to Toronto and Toronto back to Calgary for 9pm Thursday night.

If I'd more time to prepare, I would have given myself more time in Seville but I got there which was the main thing.
 
Monday night - Drove from Dundee to Glasgow Airport - Flight to Paris

Night in a shitty airport hotel in Paris

Tuesday Morning flight from Paris to Seville.

Taxi from the Airport to hotel in Seville.

Taxi from hotel to Airport yesterday.

Direct to Glasgow then drove back up the road to Dundee.

Couple of delays on flights but neither more than an hour. Ended up being one of the most straightforward journeys out of most people I know that were there.

Also I used Bolt for taxis the whole trip, seemed like the Germans and all of our support clearly weren't using it as I was getting taxis within five minutes.

Took a guy and his dad in my taxi to the airport as they were waiting on a local one the hotel had phoned for them and had been sitting in reception for 40 minutes whilst mine booked on Bolt was there in five.

Been a cracking trip but the bus back to Portugal from Seville was horrible don’t think anyone spoke the full time :( everyone was gutted.

We booked a 3 day package holiday to Faro from Newcastle after the quarter final and had a good contact for transfers.

Result and lack of fluids inside the stadium aside, we had a great trip.
 
Still here.

Four and half hour drive south to fly out East Midlands to Malaga a week ago tomorrow, and home again on Sunday.

Staying in Torimolinos, we got lucky with a lift in and out of Seville for the game with some fellow bears who had hired a minibus.

A crushing anticlimax to our holiday on Wednesday truth be told. Doing our best to soften the blow with the all inclusive bar ever since.
 
Drove from Glasgow to Stansted last Friday and stayed in a travelodge, flew early next morning to Faro, 90 minute transfer to Albufeira as our hotel was last drop off, left for Seville in a private transfer at 11am and got there around 2:30-pm

Left Seville around 0030 local time and were back in the hotel for 2:20am In albufeira

Left Albufeira this morning and flew back to Stansted, landed at 1530, picked up the car and got home 30 mins ago, wife and 2 kids never moaned once!

On the road up the M1 we passed 2 parks coaches and around 5 campervans full of bears, fair play to them, sounds gruelling!
 
After the Braga match I rushed to buy a return flight for my daughter and I and got it pretty cheap. Glasgow Prestwick to Palma, Majorca to Seville. If we didn't reach the final I would have maybe still went for a long weekend or move the dates to June.
Once we reached the final and the shit got real, I decided to kill 2 birds with the 1 stone. I already had the Seville flights which were going to be like gold dust and I found a 3 star B&B hotel in S'Arenal for 11 nights. All in it cost me less than £500 each.

As for the final itself. I cannot remember getting up with so much zest it was virtually like waking up for Christmas as a kid.
Breakfast at 9 then 30 minute local Bus to Palma Airport. Landed in Seville about 1600. Taxi to stadium to watch on screens. After the game we wandered about for about an hour not sure where to go. Some going that way, some going this way but many coming to where we are for their connection coaches. Decided to head one way and saw the river and a bridge in the distance. I thought if we get across there then we should get a taxi to the airport and sleep there and know we are at the right place and will get our flight in the morning. On our walk towards the bridge in the middle of nowhere I looked back and saw a taxi with his green light on. I said to my daughter to hurry and run across the road and flagged him down. I couldn't believe our luck. When we got across the river I soon realised that was everone's idea. The streets were paved with Rangers fans everywhere. Drunk, tired, gutted, every emotion you could think of and guess what...everyone was trying to flag a taxi down. I stopped and asked if anyone was going to airport and lad from Essex got in and was delighted. He hadn't slept in 3 days. Once we got back to Majorca yesterday it was sleep, sleep, sleep.

I am back to feeling normal now and will go down to the beach one more time and watch the Scottish Cup Final here in S'Arenal. I will go home on Sunday with no regrets and will look back with great fondness of my time here in Spain and of the whole European journey this season. Am I dissapointed we didn't lift the cup? Of course I am but there is nothing but pride in our club and we could never ever feel as low as we did when our club was on our knees being kicked from pillar to post. I am proud of our Club and supporters and this is just a blip. We brush ourselves down because as our Gallant Pioneers claimed...we are Ready.

No surrender.

lady's front bottom of a route but certainly not the worst but had to be back for the cup final tomorrow but also need to be in Greenock for my sons game tomorrow morning at 9am!!!
 
Northampton-Euston-Gatwick-Almeria-Malaga-Seville. Left at 2200 hours Monday and arrived 1900 Tuesday. Brutal, and the hour spent pissing around in Seville trying to find digs and a car park close to it near had me in tears of frustration.

Return started Thursday with the drive back to Almeria, direct this time, a night out in that absolute gem of a city, then a flight that was delayed from Almeria to Gatwick tonight at 2050. Landed 30 minutes ago, sat on a train to East Croydon where I am staying at a mates because the delayed flight made me miss the last train from Euston to Northampton. Will be up early and on a train to Northampton so that I can at least see the wife and wean before heading to the club for the final!


Some of the stories from this one are unreal. Amazing trip.
 
Booked on Sunday night.

Glasgow to Liverpool train. Liverpool to Alicante flight. Drove Alicante to Seville on the Tuesday. Drove Seville to Alicante on Thursday. Had a long wait at the airport, flight was delayed. Alicante to Gatwick flight then had to run for the train from Gatwick to Glasgow Central. Got home earlier today and haven't slept in about 36 hours.

The flight from Alicante to Gatwick was brutal as well. Turbulent from start to finish and a guy collapsed up the back of the plane mid flight. Think a couple of Rangers fans helped the stewardess actually - she seemed to panic a bit.

BTW the drive from Seville to Alicante is mainly a straight road for hundreds of miles but the standard of driving, %^*& me. Nearly witnessed 2/3 crashes with people just switching lanes without looking or lorries swaying from lane to lane.
 
Thursday 12th flew Glasgow to Malaga
staying in Torremolinos

Wednesday morning 8.30 pick up hire car and friends at Malaga airport
Drove to Seville, parked close to the centre of Nevion so we could see the stadium. looks good from the outside, obviously not the case on the in side from the awful stories reported.

Drove to the fanzone at Alameda de Hercules and got caught in amongst the fans walking through the narrow streets to la Cartuja stadium. What a laugh to see them cheer us in the car belting out tunes and waving our scarves. Its a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime.
Enjoyed an hour in the fanzone then drove to la Cartuja stadium. Glad we chose to do this as we would have had at least an hour walk back to the car park I’d booked the car into.

Back to Malaga airport to drop my friends off early hours of Thursday morning then back to my hotel in Torremolinos.

Trying to get some sleep before my flight home to Glasgow. Taxi to Malaga airport organised for 5.30 but still wide awake. Hopefully I’ll get some sleep on the plane as I’ll be heading to the cup final with my son this afternoon once I’ve picked him up from his flights, Malaga > London > Glasgow.

Still hurting about the outcome of the game but had a brilliant time with friends, family and the Rangers supporters.


Due to arrive in Glasgow @ 9.50
 
Sitting in the Maldron Hotel in Belfast thanks to Easyjet who hit us with a 3.5hr delay in Palma missing our connecting flight to Glasgow.

Paid a fortune to make sure we make it home for the cup final tomorrow.
 
In Luton holiday in was trying to book a flight home tomorrow there was 2 and reception was terrible in Lisbon airport landed and none now I’d you don’t laugh you’ll cry.

Another day on the sauce tomorrow and a bus back to Glasgow over night and back to home Sunday about just before noon and work on Monday

I know it’s horrendous.

And it ain’t even been cheap either.

Spent about 1600 and got donated about another 200.

Just please win tomorrow Rangers or I’ll be going for the London Bridge rather than the train station.

Well done for managing to navigate all that mate. I was Glasgow-Newcastle-Faro-Albufeira-Seville with the same journey back. Seems quite straightforward compared to yours.

Getting there - Glasgow to Dublin
Dublin to Lisbon 2 hour delay because of lazy ground crew at Dublin Airport.
Lisbon 2 hours late, met the other boys who's flight from Edinburgh to Lisbon arrived on time, thankfully they waited on us.

Hired 9 seater van for the eight of us to drive to Albufeira. Crashed the van before getting out of the airport car park, enormous scrape along whole of drivers side haha. Drove on regardless arriving in Albufeira at about 3am. Few hours kip in the world's seediest hotel then drove to Seville on the Wednesday morning with tunes blaring.

Getting back. Drove straight to Lisbon after game. Flew to Dublin. 6 hour wait for flight to Birmingham and then finally to Glasgow. Thankfully no delays and got back this morning.

Don't regret any of it as it was a brilliant experience and a great laugh, apart from the result.

Glasgow to London City
London City to Heathrow via DLR, Circle line and express train. Overnight stay.
Heathrow to Madrid.
Madrid Attocha to Seville.

Same route home but two nights in Madrid as the price of flights dropped off a cliff waiting the extra day and thought we could bask in glory in Madrid an extra day. Flying to glasgow from Heathrow so no london cross city excitement.

Still in Madrid and will arrive in Glasgow at 8pm tomorrow - exhausted and heartbroken. Hoping to catch the second half of the cup final in London.

Doing all of this 5/6 day trip with a 10 year old has been really hard. Usually the wife helps with organising and thinking about him etc but been all me obviously. He’s been great though. Sad the trip and dream is over.
