about 8-10km

It's only 6 mins on metro. Rapid

7k is only 1500 on top of the away section, it will be more than that imo.

i reckon 10k+ there average crowd is 35- 40 and i believe it to be nearly sold out

driverless trams, think about 6 stops?

 

[ToffeeDoug]

I think the metro is 1.50€ for a single ticket and something like 4€ for a day ticket, unlimited use. All metro stations have ticket machines. We want Line/Ligne 1, the yellow one. We are going to get out at the last stop, 4 Cantons, as there is dedicated walkway to the back of the South/Sud Stand, where we are.

EDIT. The metro station at Place Rihour would be a good place to hop on and off

McD's have open wifi

are you going to wolfsburg?

Depending on wether you are just traveling to and from the Stadium you might be better off getting a "Pass Grand Stade" for 2.20€. If you're planning on moving in and around town just get whatever you fancy most.

For free wifi, the main train station -Lille Flandres- is now equipped with free wifi, then you've got McD and i guess a couple of bars.

No. It's a tiny village in a third world country. I would take a nice sandwich and a flask :-D

How are you getting there?

If by train, I bet something will be opened in "Lille Europe", station where the Eurostar gets in.
Otherwise and if i'm not crazy I think you'll find things around the second main train station, "Lille Flandres".

Tbh not much to recommend for breakfast at 6ish. It's more around 8ish that things start opening in my mind.

Oh, ok. Well yeah in that case you might just take the metro back to Lille Flandres and get off to have a wonder round.

[Groucho]

Every Bluenose patient I go to tells me that they know someone who has got a ticket in the Lille section.

This'll be like a home tie.

G'wed lads.
