This guy flew 7,000 miles to watch a soccer match, only for it to be postponed

This guy has the worst luck.

A Filipino fan of Newcastle United flew 6,795 miles to watch his favourite soccer club play, before finding out the match was postponed.

Kendrick Mon De Leon, from the Philippines, "blew his savings" to watch Newcastle play against Southampton on Oct. 14.

However, he found out after a couple of weeks that the match had been moved to Oct. 15, the same day as his return flight.

Mon De Leon added that he was unable to rebook another flight as it would "cost a fortune."

He shared his plight on both his personal Facebook account and on a Facebook group titled "Newcastle Supporters United," which was shared on Twitter by another Newcastle fan and quickly retweeted.

A crowdfunding page was soon set up to raise funds for Mon De Leon to attend another Newcastle match, but failed to raise even 10 percent of the sum hoped for. Several commenters pointed out on the page that they didn't sympathise with him, because he seemed to have sufficient money to include a bigger tour of Europe in his trip to see his team.

According to news outlet the Chronicle Live, Kendrick left the Philippines on Sept. 22 for a tour of Europe, where he visited places like France, Italy and Spain.

The UK leg of his journey was meant to be the perfect end to his holiday, but the game was moved to Oct. 15, a Sunday, for live coverage on Sky Sports.

"I'd contacted a few Toon [Newcastle United] fans beforehand so I could get fare-value tickets, and had searched online for the fare to Southampton," he told the Chronicle Live.

"I just have to look at the positive side. At least I could purchase some legitimate Newcastle merchandise here."

And in case you're wondering, the match ended in a draw -- so there really are no winners in this story.
