Yep, he's got 8 coaches sorted. Not sure how it stands with the strike though.

Hi guys

Forward this message to anyone you know who may be interested.

I am not a Manchester United fan, I run the Valencia supporters club
here in the UK of which there are about 400 of us.

However, I know how important this match is for you and I want you to
have a good time in Valencia (and get there!). Valencia is a wonderful
city if you have not already been there, and very welcoming.

Unfortunately for you, the 29th September is a GENERAL STRIKE in
Spain, as the two main trades union, UGT and CCOO, have called a
national strike. There will be NO TRAINS, NO BUSES, and quite possibly
flights will be affected also if AENA (air traffic controllers) join
them as is expected.

Valencia has a great airport, and it's only 15-20 Euros to get to the
centre of town from the airport should trains and buses be down.

However, if you have not yet booked your flights, DO NOT ARRIVE ON 29
SEPTEMBER. I know it means taking another day's holiday but come over
on 28 SEPTEMBER instead, and return obviously on 30 SEPTEMBER. Do NOT
fly over on match-day, as flights may be cancelled. There is NO STRIKE
on the day before and day after matchday.

Valencia CF tried to get the date moved because of the strikes but
UEFA could not help. Those who understand Spanish may wish to read the
article in today's Marca newspaper here:
http://www.marca.com/2010/08/27/futb...282924174.html

If you have booked a flight to arrive on matchday, it's up to you if
you wish to take a gamble, but if I were you I would try and change
the day and fly over the day before.

Just wanted to give you a good warning before you book your flights. I
am sure you would do the same!

Best regards, and enjoy Valencia (though not too much!).

And because some of you guys may be a bit sceptical about this
message, and not believe me, and think I'm writing this as a laugh, U2
have recently cancelled their gig in Seville because of the strike

Ryanair will refund the original flight cost if cancelled
