Something like that!
> "More than 13,500 fans are expected to fly from Liverpool's John Lennon airport as Operation Zorba gets into full swing. Thirty-seven charter flights will leave the airport from 2.30am today, carrying 8,000 supporters."
"Despite the difficulties in obtaining tickets, Liverpool's chief executive, Rick Parry, forecast that "by hook, or by crook" 40,000 of the 63,800 seats would be occupied by Liverpool fans."

Liverpool fans outraged over ticket prices)

It's some unearthly hour like 3:50 am. I'm back from Speke, and it seemed like you weren't allowed in unless you were wearing a red Carlsberg! And boy, was it busy.
They're on Flight "H" (what ever that means), leaving at 5am, with the rest of the Athens squadron.
There were flags everywhere; all the car parking office, the black cabs, the derpature desks,
I wish I'd being going too, but if they bring back the cup, then it'll all be worthwhile.
Must get a few hours kip afore doing another day's graft on the treadmill. Got to interview some people for a new job I think - hope I'm awake and concentrating!
