Belgium

[Joao Moutinho]

Anyone been/live there?

Thinking of going end of july/start of August for some footy, probably try and get 2 games in depending on what the fixtures are like.

I might not be able to go with someone with a car so is it quite easy to get around (via the trains)?

Which cities/towns are best to visit ? Been to Brussels, don't fancy going there for footy but have to go through there on train to get anywhere

Where do Anderlecht play?

There's an awesome chippie in Ieper called "Pitstop".

Thats probably not much help.

I went on a school trip. Went to Brussels and Ypres. Both nice and friendly, like France with nice people in it. That's the best way of putting it probably.

Easy to get round mate. Train the best bet.

Are Belgians nice?

That's a pleasant surprise! I imagined they were more grumpy versions of French people

Brussels, that's why I don't want to go haha, I don't like Anderlecht

I'll keep it in mind haha

Thanks mate, was thinking about trains, imagine the journey between football towns won't be too arduous

Oh and Antwerp has a nice station. Sod it just enjoy the trip mate.

GAA Denk have a funny name. Maybe they'll be worth watching?

They were very pleasant!

Nobody can be more pompous and grumpy than the French. Apart from us maybe.....

Do you mean KAA Gent haha

Been to Gent once before, not for footy

I'd say they are 4th or 5th on my list to go and watch

 

[Roztitute]

Been to Ypres and Antwerp, lovely places and the locals were very friendly.

Club Bruges would give you an excuse to go to Bruges of course. Would be top of my list

 

[Joao Moutinho]

Only problem with Antwerp is that of their two teams, one's just gone out of business and one is in the second division

They're the Belgian team I follow so they were top of my list anyway!
