Continuing the Charlton v Blackpool theme, in January 2002 we drew Charlton away in the FA Cup. A 300 seater train was organised but some other fans chartered a plane and were taking the Michael out of the train bookers about a 7 hour journey home. As it turned out due to fog the plane got diverted possibly to Southend from memory and couldn't fly home after the the game. If you flew down you ended up staying overnight and getting home late Sunday or even Monday. I was at centre parcs with my son and kept getting regular reports from both sets of travelling pool fans. Anyone on that plane or train?
