Liverpool fans use speedboat to reach France for Champions League final after cancelled flight

 

 

A bunch of Liverpool fans traveled to France in a speedboat ahead of the Champions League final on Saturday night in Paris.

 

The men were planning to go to Paris by plane, but their plans were thwarted when their Easyjet flights were canceled.

Paddy O’Toole of Jersey and 12 others devised a creative plan to cross the English Channel on Friday in order to be in Paris for Liverpool’s final versus Real Madrid.

 

Paddy told The Liverpool Echo: “My lad Patrick’s mates Adam and Tom Dring who are from Huyton, had their EasyJet flight cancelled, so their dad rushed them down to Heathrow to try a get a flight but there was nothing. They got a flight to Jersey last minute and they met up with us and asked could we get them to France.

“We felt sorry for the young lads so we had to do something.”

 

After getting in touch with a buddy who runs Le Mourier, an excellent swimming training firm with a fleet of motor yachts, Paddy made sure that his buddies would be in Paris when the fans landed in Jersey.

They were in a speedboat bound towards Saint-Marlo, France, before they knew it.

On social media, footage shows the men on the boat crossing the Channel while listening to music from a speaker.
