Arsenal and Chelsea Fans Share Horror Stories from Baku

Arsenal and Chelsea fans have started arriving in Baku for the Europa League final, and it is fair to say not a lot has gone to plan for them so far. From hotels cancelling rooms to taxi drivers ripping off fans – Baku is causing fury on Social Media.

There has been much controversy about the venue for the Europa League this season, but Baku is the location and the Arsenal and Chelsea fans who have made the trip from London have not had an easy journey – with it taking some people up to 24 hours to do the 4,500 mile trip.

It turns out the trip was the least of their problems:

Many thanks to the lads at my Baku hotel who decided to cancel the booking “a few days ago” without telling me. #AFC and #CFC fans who are coming out tomorrow, make sure you check your reservations.

Safe to say the Hotel’s aren’t what people were expecting…

On our way on our way going to Baku on our way. Overnight train ticket acquired. Now eating cheese bread, muffin and 2 cappuccinos for equivalent £3.50. Ripped off by taxi though!

Btw anyone coming to Baku airport use the Bolt app. Maximum we paid was 10 AZN.

Taxis at the airport were trying to charge 100 AZN which is like £50😐

First guy said 100 manat to me, second guy said 40, third guy agreed to 25. Airport staff said it should cost around 15 ?‍♂️

Fair play to the Chelsea and Arsenal fans for making the trip, there are also a lot of journalists out there with problems too. It seems as if UEFA have messed things up again.
