Fulham's farcical journey drags on... as team coach is held up in German traffic jam!
Fulham's epic journey to reach Hamburg was still not over more than 24 hours after they left west London. [LNB]The team were stuck in a traffic jam with more than 100 miles still to travel because of a crash and did not move for two hours. [LNB]Fulham left London at Tuesday lunchtime, travelled by coach to Folkestone, took the Eurostar to Calais and drove six hours to reach Munster, where they stayed overnight.[LNB] Hold up: Bobby Zamora, right, is among the travelling party in Germany[LNB] But another delay was the last thing Roy Hodgson's side needed before their Europa League semi-final against Hamburg - the biggest game in Fulham's 131-year history.[LNB] The Fulham boss and goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer are due to speak at a press conference at the Hamburg Arena starting at 5.30pm, but had still not checked into their city centre hotel by 2.30pm.[LNB] But Hamburg manager Bruno Labbadia had little sympathy for their opponents. He said: 'For Fulham it would have been a risk to fly, a risk they couldn't take. It will be the same for us for the game against Hoffenheim (in the Bundesliga this weekend).[LNB] 'I would say this is part and parcel of the game and you just have to cope with it, to deal with it.'[LNB] Fulham head to Hamburg on buses for their Europa League semi-finalFulham in store for Ruud awakening as Van Nistelrooy plans Europa blowFulham keeper Mark Schwarzer believes Cottagers can confound critics again and reach Europa League finalFULHAM FC
