Hundreds of Spurs fans may not get to Madrid in time for kick-off

Thomas Cook have sourced a replacement aircraft from Manchester which was due to take off at 4.30pm and land in Spain at 7.30pm local time.The final against Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitano kicks off at 9pm local time, giving the supporters an hour and a half to get to the stadium, which is roughly a 15-minute drive away. But as of 5pm, the plane was still not airborne.It means the fans, who have paid 559 each for their travel, face missing the biggest night in their club’s history.

Hi Rob, there's a Thomas Cook aircraft en route, you're scheduled to depart Stansted at 16.30 and arrive into Madrid at 19.30 local time. When you land we'll get you to the stadium as quickly as possible. ^Jamie— Thomas Cook Sport (@thomascooksport) June 1, 2019

A Thomas Cook statement read: One of our six chartered aircraft taking Tottenham Hotspur supporters to Madrid suffered a bird strike on its way to Stansted Airport and was deemed not safe to operate.“We have sourced an alternative aircraft to take the remaining fans to the match in time.“The other five aircraft with supporters on have all landed in Madrid.
