Its a nightmare trying to get to Moscow!
United sealed their place in this years final of the Champions League and now supporters face a task the equivalent of defeating Barcelona in getting to Moscow.
I've always been more concerned about the league than success in Europe, like many I use the old saying- the leagues are bread and butter.
I still feel that way. I'm still sick with worry not over who will face in the final, but whether Rooney's fit for West Ham.
The truth is that going into the final having lost the league would be unbearable and that going there as champions would obviously be a massive advantage as it did back in '99 (like we did in 1999, we've gone unbeaten in Europe this year).
Before the game last night, United supporters would already had known whether they had been successful in getting a ticket. The final whistle may have brought joyous scenes but were soon followed by the rush to make travel arrangements.
The stupidity in holding a final in Moscow is now there for all to see.
The cost to get there is increasing with every click of a search engine and has already exceeded the £1000 mark.
I'm trying to get there myself, having been there in 1999 I'm desperate to go again but already I'm looking at prices and feel I'm fighting a losing battle.
Train journeys from Lithuania, connection flights from Riga, nothing has yet raised my spirits.
But as I did when sat in the Nou Camp in '99 with five minutes to go, and as was spelt out on the Stretford End before last nights victory, I need to do one thing- BELIEVE.
