Shtanley Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I was going to go to England Russia but I was only offered tickets that were £175 each with is certainly out of my price range. I went in 2010 and it was an indescribable experience watching England in a tournament. I think this one will have to be at home. Russia 2018 does tempt me however.

Red Derek Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Fly to Geneva Sunday 19, train across to Lyon, watching Rumania v Albania!!!! Train across to St Etienne on Monday morning England v Slovakia then taxi back to Lyon. Have to admit, thought about threat and the fact it would be England fans that would be a likely target, or a big match like the opening ceremony.

Will be in Nice Friday to Sunday too. Have a spare for the Spain game if anyone's interested.... A friend I'm going with has tickets for England v Slovakia so will try and pick one up for that somehow, depending on price. On the terrorism thing, I don't think there's much chance of any problems in the grounds/fanzones, given security will be ridiculously tight. I guess 'soft' targets such as bars are a possibility, but I'm trying not to think about that - and it won't affect what I do out there. 6 of us have tickets for the Spain game in Toulouse as well!, a few good bars in and around the city I know of!

A wonderful town. Steer well clear of the railway station, anywhere within walking distance of Capitole is good fun and lively at night. If you are looking for a 'home from home', there is an English themed pub - Le Frog and Roast Beef': a bit tacky, but lively and will show live matches on numerous screens.

The Melting Pot is also ok although it gets a bit packed. The Carpe Diem in Cornebarrieu is fantastic and sells Thatchers gold, bit out the way though although they have Sky sports and a huge expat community!

French trains have reserved seats - I have no idea what time you intend returning, but if a train is available book it and you will have a reserved seat. It is well worth paying a small supplement for a 1st class seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lille for the quarter final if we win the group and win the last 16 game. Paris for the quarter final if we finish second in the group and win the last 16 game. Bordeaux for the quarter final if we finish third in the group and end up playing team C1 in Lille in the last 16 (and win).

daored Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Clearly going to be a target and the guy caught the other day clearly proves it. However, the intelligence between so many nations should more difficult for an attack to be successful. I really hope I'm proved correct, I do think there will be disruption to some games because the authorities will not take the risk. The biggest risk to fans will be the fan parks, but I think those in the grounds will generally he safe.
