A Tottenham season ticket holder and three members of his family endured a two-day journey across the continent in a hatchback car after being put off by sky-high airfares between the UK and Madrid for the Champions League final. Kieran Knight, 24, set off with father Mark, and brothers Rhys and Marcus, from Billericay in Essex at 5am on Thursday, arriving in Madrid around 36 hours later after stopping overnight in the French resort of Biarritz. The quartet missed their initial slot on the Eurotunnel, then endured further delays when one of the cars in front of them suffered a flat battery as they arrived in France. But the Spurs fan is confident the 1,000-mile journey in the Volkswagen Golf GTI Sport was worth it - and said he would not sell his ticket, bought at face value, at any price. Describing his route to Madrid as he arrived in the Spanish capital ahead of Tottenham鈥檚 Champions League final match with Liverpool, Mr Knight told the Press Association: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been quite a long one.
鈥淲e were supposed to be on the Eurotunnel at 6.50am, but stupidly we didn鈥檛 research it and we got there five minutes to departure so realised we couldn鈥檛 get on that one. 鈥淭he train then broke down in the tunnel so we were delayed an hour - in a train, no alcohol, no signal, it was quite boring. 鈥淲e arrived in France at about 8am French time and the battery broke down (on a car in front) so they eventually had to get pushed off. 鈥淲e had a 10-hour journey, we stopped in Biarritz, about 500 miles, which was a long way. 鈥淲e woke up Friday morning, had a dip in the sea, and left at 9am. It took a bit longer than we expected. 鈥淲e had a very dodgy potato omelette baguette, which as you can imagine was disgusting. 1000 mile road trip 鉁?Madrid, we are in you. N17) May 31, 2019 The fuel cost was just a fraction of the air travel fees quoted moments after Liverpool and Tottenham confirmed their places in the final.
Mr Knight said his ticket cost 拢154, but that friends had paid in excess of 拢1,500 for theirs - something he said seemed like a bargain compared with the price on the black market. 鈥淚f someone was to offer me 拢10,000 for my ticket, anyone outside of football would be like: 鈥榶es, you鈥檇 be completely mad for saying no鈥? 鈥淏ut football is our passion, this is the biggest stage of them all. We earn money to do things we enjoy - this is my passion, this is what I enjoy. 鈥淚f we did do it and we won, I鈥檇 never forgive myself. Mr Knight said Spurs鈥?fortunes tonight would be the deciding factor on how enjoyable the return journey was. 鈥淚f we win, we would talk about the game, watch videos, listen to the radio,鈥?he said. 鈥淚 haven鈥檛 thought about the prospect of losing. 鈥淚 have to work on Tuesday. Ideally, we would have rather flown but the price was just obscene. 鈥淚f we win, we could leave at 4pm; if we lose, we can just get up and leave the city.
