Footie in Gatwick
We were flying back to Barcelona from Gatwick last night and while we were waiting in departures we noticed that we seemed to be surrounded by Spanish football supporters complete with Osborne bull flags and blue and white Espanyol scarves and banners. They were a very happy bunch - a complete mixture of ages and sexes. It turns out that they had arrived from Barcelona and were on their way to Glasgow for the UEFA cup final against the holders Sevilla. Good luck to Espanyol! They are always seen as the second team in Barcelona, and it will be fantastic if they win the cup. 16,000 fans are expected to watch the match on a big screen at the Palau Sant Jordi up near Espanyol’s ground (the former Olympic stadium) and their will be a celebration party on Thursday night if they manage to pull off a win.
