    Crippling rail strikes fail to stop fans from attending first all-Manchester FA Cup final

    by

    FOOTIE fans were jubilant yesterday after crippling rail strikes failed to stop them attending the first all-Manchester FA Cup final.Supporters crammed into cars and piled on to coaches as trains were axed due to ­drivers walking out on the biggest day of the season.

    Many got up at the crack of dawn to embark on the 200-mile pilgrimage from the North West to Wembley to beat the traffic.
    The six-hour drive proved worthwhile for Man City fans who kept treble dreams alive by claiming a 2-1 victory over United in the first Manchester derby final in the competition’s 151-year history.
    The Red Devils, who secured their own ­trophy trio in 1999, were chasing their second silverware of the year.
    United fan Marty Harris, 46, woke at 4am for a £300 flight from Edinburgh to Birmingham before car-sharing to Watford and then getting the Tube to Wembley with his young son.

    He said: “I’m here now so that’s the main thing. It’s been torture, absolute torture. I think people watching will be tired because they’ve got up so early to be here.”
    Sharon and Mark Ralph, drove for seven hours from Cheshire on Friday night to avoid the strikes — staying in a hotel for two nights before watching their beloved United yesterday.
    Sharon, 44, said: “We don’t mind the extra cost. It was definitely worth it.”
    FA Cup expert Phil Annets, who wrote in the official matchday ­programme, needed a lift back to Oxfordshire after being driven to the match by a friend.

    The 58-year-old said: “I think it’s vindictive by the strikers to try to impact as many people as possible.”
    Hundreds of coaches and cars set off from the North West in the early hours for the usual four-hour trip down the M6 and M40 motorways towards North West London.
    But the journey took more than six hours for many who got stuck in two huge tailbacks on the M1.
    Manchester United fan Ralph Cooper, 56, said: “Even if it would have taken me two days to get there and two days to get back, it wouldn’t have made any difference. I wouldn’t have missed this.”
    Police patrolled service stations along the route despite fans being allocated separate stop-offs depending on whether their loyalties were red or sky blue.
    Both Manchester clubs provided return coaches at a subsidised price of £50 a seat to meet the exceptional demand.
    The FA also put on 120 special bus services — 60 for each club leaving from different locations — at £60 per fan.
    Extra car parking was also made available 25 minutes’ walk away from the stadium in Fryent Park.
    Event day parking at the 90,000-capacity stadium had sold out two weeks ago.
    Tom Legg, head of external operations at the FA, had said of the two-day travel carnage: “This additional strike action will severely impact fans who might have been considering travelling to London from Manchester the night before the final.”
    Fans battled for parking spaces in sleepy, suburban Stanmore in North West London — at the very northern end of the Jubilee line — after the Metropolitan line was temporarily suspended due to ­signal failure.

    Hundreds of motorists from ­Manchester had come off the M1 to park up in Stanmore, filling up side streets normally used by ­residents and shoppers.
    Others made deals with enterprising locals to park their cars on their driveways.
    Mary, 60, travelling with godson Oliver, 21, said: “There’s no choice really.”
    James, who travelled to Bushey, Herts, on Thursday to avoid the rush, said: “I’ve got a friend from Manchester who left at half past six in the morning and five hours later he’s still stuck in traffic on the motorway.”
    Strikes coincided with other huge events like the Epsom Derby, England’s test match at Lord’s and Beyonce’s concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
    Usually busy railway stations across the capital have been left looking like ghost towns as around 12,000 Aslef and RMT members walked out in industrial action for the second day in a row.
    After helping to cripple around 40 per cent of train services, Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said: “We are determined to get a resolution and remain in this for the long haul.”
    The Department for Transport claimed the action had been deliberately coordinated to target major events for maximum disruption.
    A spokesman added: “Not content with impacting the hundreds of thousands of people who have looked forward to these events all year round, unions are also targeting their own members’ pockets by forcing them to miss out on pay every time they strike.
    “The Government has facilitated a fair and reasonable pay offer.
    “Now union leaders must do the right thing and put this to their members.”

    Stars are in crowd
    STARS from both sides of Manchester were spotted in the crowd at Wembley.
    Ex-Red Devils favourite David Beckham, 48, looked glum as he watched his beloved side lose with sons Brooklyn, 24, and Cruz, 18.

    Prince William, president of the FA, presented the medals and trophy after the game, tweeting: “A derby like no other today.”

      Premier League star Odsonne Edouard caught driving with no licence in Audi RS Q8 after 5 speeding offences in 2 weeks

      by

      PREMIER League star Odsonne Edouard has been caught driving without a licence after raking up five speeding offences in two weeks.The Crystal Palace striker, 25, was snapped illegally behind the wheel of his Audi RS Q8, prompting police to seize the car.

      Edouard first caught the cops’ attention while driving through London with a French number plate and “heavy” tinted windows.
      The force ran a check on the car and found it had a list of speeding offences.
      When the footballer was pulled over he couldn’t show a licence or insurance.
      Edouard recently appeared in the Bromley magistrates court and was slapped with a fine of more than £1,000 – with points being added to his licence.

      The Evening Standard reported Sergeant James Stead told the court: “My automatic number plate recognition system alerted me that the vehicle was known for speeding offences.”
      Speaking about when the footballer was pulled over in August, the officer said: “He only had a picture of the front of a French driving licence, but had no sort of insurance.
      “Mr Eduoard showed us a digital image of one side of a French driving licence, but did not have it on him physically, and could provide no other proof of having a driving licence.”
      The Sergeant added that he had trouble explaining what was happening to Edouard as he “spoke limited English”.
      Most read in Football
      A police database showed the car had also built up five speeding offences in just two weeks.
      Edouard, who has landed 10 goals since a 2021 switch to the Premier League, did not enter a plea or engage with the court but was found guilty of driving without a valid licence and insurance.
      He was given eight points, a £660 fine, and ordered to pay £100 in costs and a £264 victim surcharge.
      A lawyer for the player told the Standard that Edouard was unaware of the court proceedings and said that a legal challenge is now being planned.
      He was prosecuted through the single justice procedure, and sentenced in a behind-closed-doors hearing at the end of March.
      Crystal Palace declined to comment on the striker’s court case. More

      He was negotiating the course’s first downhill section when his Fiat Abarth Grande Punto careered off the path and rolled down a steep ravine.
      Fire crews were unable to save him and he died of his injuries.
      His co-driver, Natalia Rios Diaz, was trapped inside the car but was successfully recovered from the wreckage and rushed to hospital.
      Race officials cancelled the rest of the day’s proceedings.

      Tomico’s team, Vallejo Racing, paid tribute to him in a touching statement.
      They wrote: “Again, this sport hits us where it hurts the most.
      “Vallejo Racing is in mourning because we lose one of our own: David López Tomico, a passionate lover of motorsport, a leader in his work and an example of perseverance and love for his own.
      “He joined the team in 2022 and his spirit and strength were fundamental for the Dakar 2023 project to bear fruit.

      “Today we not only lose a mechanic or a team member, but we leave a friend of the real ones. David, your strength will always be with us.”
      It comes after four-time British motorcycling champion Keith Farmer died aged just 35 following an injury-enforced retirement.
      An inquest into Farmer’s death recorded a verdict of suicide after the court heard of his struggles with his exit from the sport and the breakdown of his relationship.
      You’re Not Alone
      EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
      It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
      It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
      And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
      Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
      That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
      The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
      Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.

      Man City ace Erling Haaland caught using mobile phone while driving £300k Rolls-Royce on dual-carriageway

      by

      FOOTIE sensation Erling Haaland has been being caught using his mobile phone while driving his £300,000 Rolls-Royce. The Man City star was spotted holding the smartphone while at the wheel.
      Erling Haaland has been caught using his mobile phone while driving his Rolls-Royce
      The striker can be seen with the device in his left hand while steering the wheel with his right
      Photos seem to show the hotshot striker looking down into his lap as he clasps the device in his left hand, with his right hand on the steering wheel.
      Norwegian Haaland, 22, was driving his white Rolls-Royce Cullinan on a dual carriageway in Manchester’s New Islington, close to City’s Etihad Stadium.
      The incident occurred the day after Haaland bagged five goals in a 7-0 Champions League win against RB Leipzig on 14 March.
      Anyone caught driving while using a mobile phone faces six penalty points and a £200 fine.
      read more on Erling Haaland
      And if the driver only passed their test in the past two years, their licence can be revoked.
      An onlooker said: “Erling has hardly put a foot wrong since he moved to City.
      “But he needs to pay more attention to the road when he’s driving and needs to brush up on the law when he’s driving.
      “It’s a silly mistake but could be a dangerous one for him and for other road users.
      Most read in Football
      “The last thing City fans want is for him to have a bump which rules him out of a game.”
      Road safety groups also criticised £375,000-a-week Haaland, who has bagged 42 goals in 37 games for the Sky Blues.
      An AA spokesman said: “It’s a straight red with no excuses.
      “Holding your phone while driving is dangerous. For someone so effective at scoring, this is definitely an own goal.”
      The laws around using phones while driving were toughened up in March 2022.
      At the time then Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “I will do everything in my power to keep road users safe, which is why I am taking a zero-tolerance approach to those who decide to risk lives by using their phone behind the wheel.”
      An RAC report in 2020 found that one-third of drivers thought other motorists using their mobile phones at the wheel was one of their top safety concerns.
      And statistics published last year revealed that in 2020 17 people were killed and 499 injured in crashes where the driver was using a mobile.

      Haaland’s error came despite driving rules in his homeland of Norway banning motorists from using their phone at the wheel.
      Man City and Haaland’s agent were contacted for comment.

      TOTTENHAM star Richarlison has opened up about his struggles of learning how to drive. The attacker is set to fly to Qatar for the World Cup as he has a place on Brazil’s plane but Richarlison can’t take his seat behind the wheel of a car as he doesn’t have a driving licence.

      The 25-year-old is learning but is finding the theory test tough to pass especially with his English skills.
      Richarlison said to Ronaldo TV: “I like to take car lessons. I’m trying to get my license here. I’m taking driving school.
      “I failed my first one [theory test]. There are 900 questions to study, I studied 200 and I was going to have to take a holiday.
      “Then I said ‘let me take this test soon, it will work’. I did and almost passed. I got 36, you have to get 42 out of 56. The second [test attempt] will be when I finish studying, it’s all in English.”

      Despite his wealth the former Everton man is happy getting the train for now and even visited his former teammate Allan travelling from London to Liverpool using public transport.
      On getting the train he said: “I feel like a normal person.
      “I went to Liverpool to visit Allan. By train it’s faster, I can’t do it by car, it’s four hours.
      “People think that because I’m a player I can’t take a train, I think it’s super normal, I feel like a free person.”

      And a new photo shows the moment he was pulled over after we told yesterday how the pundit faced a driving ban after being caught last October in Stanmore, North London.
      The picture, included in court documents and released by the Metropolitan Police, shows Jenas standing in front of his car at the roadside, wearing a baseball cap.
      PC Neil Cornelius told Bromley magistrates court he saw Jenas’ Range Rover just after 3pm when he was on patrol.
      He added in a witness statement: “I noticed that the driver of this vehicle was using a handheld mobile device whilst driving.

      “The device was being held in both their hands to the front, in front of themselves.”
      He said Jenas confirmed he was using the phone when pulled over, adding: “I could see the subject texting on the handheld device.”
