On Wednesday, the Glasgow Celtic played in the UEFA Cup final against Porto in Seville. This was a huge occasion for Scottish football fans (except presumably the Glasgow Rangers supporters), and the flocked to the game in huge numbers. Scottish fans are extremely popular abroad; they are fun, colourful, drink a lot (hence are good business for local bars), but, in a critical difference to English, German or Dutch fans, very rarely cause any trouble. Unfortunately Celtic lost 3-2 in a great game, but anyway Scottish football can be proud of the season just ended. When I arrived at Gatwick Monday morning, I saw these two Celtic fans on their way to Spain and asked them to pose: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_21.jpg (Rollei 35, Ilford Delta 400 developed in DD-X 1+4) I then took the train to London and spotted this couple saying goodbye at Waterloo Station: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_21alt1.jpg (same data as main picture) Monday evening, as is my habit, I was prowling the bookshops near Tottenham Court Road station, and saw this scene at Borders, with people reading and napping in the very comfy chairs: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_21alt2.jpg (same data as main picture) Finally, Tuesday evening I was on my way home to Switzerland, and again ran into the Celtic supporters in the departure lounge at Gatwick. They were loud and had taken over a large section of the bar: http://www.wajsman.com/2003_21alt3.jpg http://www.wajsman.com/2003_21alt4.jpg (both Rollei 35, Fuji Neopan 1600 developed in XTOL 1+3) The complete PAW index is at: http://www.wajsman.com/indexpaw2003.htm My web hosting provider is bankrupt and operating on autopilot, so if the above links do not work, I have also put the pictures on Leica Gallery Net: http://www.leica-gallery.net/wajsman/folder-4767.html All comments are welcome and appreciated.
