Bristolhibby Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I’m over with my boys next weekend. Anyone else going? Will be able to do a bit of reconnaissance prior to our game. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyshaker Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 A few of us going, arrive on Friday and staying in the centre. Then heading up to Bruges on Sunday to watch Club Brugge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The bigger question - anyone feeling optimistic enough to be going to the QF in Paris on the way to Lille for the football? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kortrijk are at home on Friday night as well but last train back to Lille wasn't late enough so we thought that was pushing it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro to the ground is a doddle. You do need to buy tickets. Views in the ground were superb and loads going on before KO. Not sure what will just be RWC related, but there were hotels next to the stadium that had their bars opened up and selling beer. Beer at the stadium was easy, take to your seats. Again I don’t know the regulations in France. But being a friendly they have some leeway I’m sure. My English friend was there the week before and she said the metro back to town was a shambles, so we jumped in a taxi. Word of warning, we went directly back to the hotel across town to the F1 and it cost €70! I’m driving there and back on the 17th so need a sharp get away back into town and my car to get to Calais and my Euro Tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Mr Hibby, I am planning to drive as well, through the Euro tunnel. Was driving in France earlier this year, and was reading that many city's have LEZ charges. Lille being one of them. I think you need an electronic registration, or you get a fine in the post. I've not finalised travel deets yet,but just a we heads up for you. See you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sticker is in my car window. The tunnel was a breeze BTW. A little wait for U.K. border control but still got the hour earlier train. Theres a 0030 train then an 0230 train. Hoping I can get the 0030 but it will be tight. Got a kip on the train on Sunday, even with the kids jabbering in the back. Back into work the next day. I figured the drive is no worse than if I was a Swindon Town fan driving to Manchester. Almost a home game for me! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
