“What a hassle! Cata, cata…”. Aurélien, a great football fan who has already played in several legendary stadiums in Europe, will long remember this trip to Prague, this Wednesday, November 6, 2024. A journey to support Stade Brestois in the Champions League. Like five other of his Pontivy friends, he actually for a time imagined watching the match on TV, after the cancellation, at the last minute, of their EasyJet flight to the Czech capital. Until a last minute tip, admittedly a little perilous…
“It’s going to be hot!” »
“Actually, my little one woke up last night at 4 a.m. and I turned on my phone, which was on airplane mode, no pun intended. There, I see that the initial flight which was to take us to Prague is canceled. In fact, all flights departing from Nantes have been canceled. So I tell myself that it’s screwed, I even thought I was going to work today.” But Aurélien, who is going to drink an espresso in a bar in the Pontivy city center this Wednesday morning at 9 a.m., grabs a last-chance flight, leaving Paris at 6:30 p.m. , but why not. I called my colleagues and we said: OK! “.
“We don’t know where we’re going to put the luggage”
So, the happy gang finds themselves at Pontivy station (56), where there is no train but a bus, to go to Rennes. From there, they will take the train, at around midday, to Paris and board the cabin towards the Czech capital and the glitter of the Champions League. “We land at 8:15 p.m. and the match is at 9 p.m.: it’s going to be hot.” It is a 25-minute drive from the airport to the stadium. “Playable, nonetheless.”
But there remains one detail. The luggage. “We don’t know where we’re going to put them…”. They will put the pieces of this incredible story in the memory box. Certainly. Hoping for a victory for Brest. “Because we are all Bretons!” “.
