Saturday July 22, Everton will play KRC Genk in a pre-season friendly. Match is almost in my back yard. Anyone on here planning to go, or are you saving up for the EL season? Also how many Blues do you expect to travel over for this one?
I've looked into it, but there doesn't seem to be an airport that has a direct flight from Manchester or Liverpool that's close, can you advise? It's my birthday weekend so would be nice to go.

Ryanair from Manchester to Eindhoven would be the closest. Train to Maastricht about 75 mins I guess. Change for Liege there and than from Liege to Genk. Not the most convenient trip I realise.I've looked into it, but there doesn't seem to be an airport that has a direct flight from Manchester or Liverpool that's close, can you advise?

Is there a flight from Manchester/Liverpool to Brussels?Eindhoven or Brussels? then train from either
Just the wife. I don't mind the flight bit, it's the messing around getting trains. I'm not sure then whether to stay over in genk, which would then leave me needing to get back to Eindhoven for the Sunday flight.Ryanair from Manchester to Eindhoven would be the closest.

I might be able to pick you up at Sittard CS. One of my mates will drop me off at Genk so I can have a bevvy. Will get back with another mate after the match. If he has enough room in his car it would be no problem and I can drop you at Sittard CS again after the matchJust the wife. I don't mind the flight bit, it's the messing around getting trains.

But I need a football fix.

If you fancy that, let me know and I'll ask my mates.
Edit: There's a direct train line from Eindhoven to Sittard
Amsterdam the only other option I guess. You're flying over on the Saturday?View attachment 38275
No direct flight to Eindhoven on that date. Can you suggest another place to land?
Calais to Genk is a just over 3 hours driveI'm off that weekend and google maps says it would take me 4 hours to drive there including the channel tunnel crossing.
I'm guessing the club will be selling tickets a couple of weeks before.
Rome2Rio is a good site for finding connections (bus, train, air, road).View attachment 38275
