Has Football Rivalry Gone Too Far After Spurs Fan’s Cruel Stunt? So, you know I have been writing that some of the banter towards Arsenal this season has grown spiteful? Almost to confirm my feelings, there is a horrible story doing the rounds online.
The moment Budapest was confirmed as hosts for the Champions League Final, accommodation in the city was always going to cost over the odds this month. As soon as it looked realistic that the Gunners could be in that final, prices for trains and flights to the Hungarian capital skyrocketed. Arsenal beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 (agg) to reach the final .
Yet several Gooners found a way around the system by booking hotels months in advance with the option of cancelling if no longer needed. It meant rooms now being charged at over £1,000 only cost those supporters under £200. One Arsenal fan wanted to share this good news on social media.
Now, is it foolish to show strangers on the internet details such as a reservation number? Yes. Yet, would it not be lovely to think we could live in a world where you could trust a stranger not to go to the lengths of cancelling the booking simply because he supports Spurs?
