Les Distilleries Ideales is ok, Chez Wayne's a lot livelier. In the unlikely event you are looking for a Michelin restaurant Jan's is excellent. I'm in Cannes now and will be in Marseilles tomorrow, any idea where you are drinking before the game? I'm flying home on Sunday then driving over to France for the Wales game. Have tickets for all England games through to the final so will then stay out as long as England are in. Hi Nick I've sent you a WhatsApp message about tomorrow - let me know if you haven't received it. Enjoy Cannes! Very nice place, there's a decent restaurant down by the harbour called Cavaeu 45 (that's prob spelt wrong) which a friend of the family who lives down there took us to.

If you are referring to Le Caveau 30 (and not 45), a two storey restaurant with lovely views from the first floor, then it is a very nice restaurant indeed - fresh and reasonably priced seafood.

He said it was pretty dodgy. Local men from the estates near by would gather and come down for a scrap with the English in town. He said the majority of the time the Police would disappear and they'd revel in it as the English were always game in fighting back. Kicking off again by the looks of things. We're not helping matters by singing 'Isis, where are you'!?... (Allegedly).. Good lord. The 'estates' are in the northern suburbs of Marseille and miles (kilometres) away from Le Vieux Port, the pleasant touristy area where last night's incidents occurred. There will undoubtedly be similar incidents this evening and tomorrow, but it is perhaps to be expected, even inevitable, when there are hordes of English supporters drinking all day and attracting the local lowlife (not exclusively Maghrebian) to both ogle and taunt them. Try to picture, say, a large bunch of French supporters trying to take over the pubs/bars on the harbourside in Bristol on a Friday night - I am sure there would be the odd skirmish involving combined City/Rovers fans and the foreign interlopers.

It is all but over but when locals arrive to start trouble you generally find that the English fan is disinclined to run away. The official English supporters spokesman said that yesterday was good humoured until trouble was started by French and confirmed that the police share the view.I have no doubt that the Russkies are getting royally pissed and noisy as I type this - they certainly seem to manage that at the all inclusives I have been lucky to share with them.

I can't find any information or stadium plans online and want to know if it will be safe to wear England colours?! Cheers all! Bump - sorry all!

With the caveat that I have no idea for sure, I would be astonished if sponsor tickets were allocated into anything but a notionally neutral area. But I fully expect England, and Wales, fans to be all over the place in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 wouldn't like to be in Marseilles that's for sure - sounds like the french, the police, russians, and the north african lot are all out gunning for England - as well as our own press. Of course there's English troublemakers out there, but how many others are also getting caught up in it. The vid from last night of flares being chucked into a group of English has provoked lots of anti-English reaction. Ffs, wouldn't you retaliate if a pack of lads started chucking flares at you while the police looked on!? Can't believe how so many people are ready to jump on the bandwagon and crucify these lads. Of course, any city out there, stay safe and have a top time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 So proud to see England's brave boys giving it to all comers once again. The mean streets of Cirencester, Batley and Stevenage will be vulnerable to attack from the Muslamics while they're on active European service this month, but les rues of Europe will never rest easy while our lads remind them just who won that war!
