Lille - Info (Travel, Hotels, Bars, Directions etc)

[obc]

note to self: never, ever plan a trip near Lille. 99% of you are likely class, like les hommes posting here... but that 1% of hooligans and hoolipolice, no thanks.

was it a 10 minute walk from the ground? we ended up in there when we saw the queue for the metro, I don't think the students having a quiet night were expecting the 100 or so Evertonians turning up all at once demanding beer. Youd think they would be ready being the closest bar to the ground!

In Brussels now getting on it. Brilliant day yesterday. Avoided the trouble

Party's over

Though the city was really nice, people were great, the tube was ace, and bars were open and bouncing. Would defo go again.

Not sure mate. You'd be better asking @JimEFC as I think he lived/s in the area.

Hiya - - Sorry - I had a massive load of work to get through so that I could still make the ferry last wednesday... then in France I had my phone off due to Phone Charger Amnesia.... left it at home.

Hope everyone enjoyed Lille...and hope you all stayed safe enough. I think I dodged the worst bits, but Wednesday night I was caught up in it at the Oz Bar...got riot shielded across the dog-sh1t-lawns but made it home in one piece and got my dad off from getting arrested at one point for refusing to move off a giant broken flower pot that he'd decided was his bench for the night!

Literally not read a single post on this forum since about 10 days ago... so dunno anything. Watched the Eto'o show yesterday though!
