Seriously, there’s no need for you to go to San Sebastian
It’s not an injury issue, or a player registration problem. It’s not a planned air traffic controller strike, or some kind of dastardly documentation difficulty dreamed up by the hard-working folk in our passport offices.
It’s not a matter of Basque indifference, or enmity, or any such ethnic complication; it’s not the hardy perennial challenge of ticket allocations and getting around all that.
