people on here moaning about ticket allocations credits from last season etc what top to wear in france and theres burnley available to STH now and general sale on friday its only up the road

Agreed and I will be going to this, but 40 quid for a ticket at a [Poor language removed] ground may put people off. A mate of mine in work is a STH for them and they bumped up all ST prices this year, a lot of people aren't happy about the prices.

Is anyone on the flight to Amsterdam from Manchester at half 8 next Wednesday?

Its beginning to feel alot like Christmas.... I cant wait for this now as its my first European away!
Anyone staying at the Ibis Centre Grand Place or on the 9am Eurostar? I need some drinking buddies as I am travelling alone.
Haha bring it on, I cant control the excitement anymore

 

[GwladysBlue]

Head to a supermarket and if your happy to 'drink on the streets' you should be fine...Also, there are places that sell street food ie kebabs etc

I'll just be going to the McDonalds for something to eat tbh. I imagine if the police let us that everyone will be drinking in that big open square part of the city centre.

Honestly can't sit still. Flying out Wednesday afternoon from Edinburgh to Charleroi.

I'm the lad with the beard that makes me look like the shoe bomber, feel free to inform me of how dreadful it looks.

Going to a European away with Everton is amongst the greatest things I've done. Nuremberg will live with me forever, I hope all you first timers get a similar experience in Lille. I can't wait for it myself.

On the 1804 eurostar on wed..

And staying in the 'best hotel lille' going back friday morning.

 

[DavidBooth]

06.50 Eurostar on the morning of the game here, which arrives in Lille at 9.30 (their time).

Might just be one or two (hundred) more Evertonians on it too I suspect...

Cheers for the heads up on this, looked at it last week and just thought id buy tickets on the bus. Flying into Charleroi from Dublin at 9am and the 10am bus is SOLD OUT, I've now bought and printed tickets for the 11:30 bus, get into Lille at 1pm. Ah well, time for a few scoops in Charleroi airport. Can't wait , first trip since Nuremburg
