Recommended Posts

For those that were on the Westa buses ... Will you ever be involved with anything like that again?? 

To Jim thanks  for one of the most surreal ways to attend a fitba match .. and you will need something special to top it...

There were motorcycle outriders who went ahead of the bus convoy, closed off the motorway access slip roads, so we had a clear motorway all the way from the city centre to the Azteca Stadium. 

Police jeeps, saloons and plenty of motorcycles, it was VIP treatment. It was quite strange.

Nice, a few of the boys were over and mentioned a police escort but not to that extent!

Kumnio’s not kidding. It was proper presidency, royalty stuff. They closed down what seemed like the main motorway spine through the city for us. You could see the miles of traffic back the way as we merged onto the road with our huge official escort with flashing lights the lot.

I would really like to thank all those involved from WESTA for their organisational skills for the swift and secure run to and from the match. The 4 of us: Deek, Yvonne, Susan and myself (Eddie) were really impressed by the security arrangements involving the 500 or more local police who escorted us and met us on arrival at the Estadio Azteca. Still over here just now in Cancun and if I could post videos I would. When I get back, I'll load them to YouTube and post the links.
Thanks again.

I heard that Bus 1 was excellently stewarded.

I heard that bus 2 in Peru and bus 6 in Mehico were excellently supplied with refreshments. Especially the seats up the back. 😜

Was on bus 6 there and back. Nobody offered us any refreshments! 😀
