Was thinking of flying into Amsterdam for this, maybe staying somewhere like Kortrijk / or even Bruges for a few nights and darting in and out for the game. Anyone else thinking something similar. Flights to Ams still in the €150 return bracket and 2 nights in Bruges wouldn't cost the world either.

I think that's similar to my plan.

Though the Eurostar is certainly tempting from London.

Flying in to Charleroi. Very cheap flights. About 1:20hr from Lille. Will get bus or train in.

I am getting the Eurostar from Roscommon

Ah no getting it from london, staying slightly outside the town, with a pool and probably just relax. lille is a bit of a dump as is most of northern france and normandy, generally not an awful lot to do in these places.

Junior I thought you were flying into Cologne, getting a bus to berlin, hanging around a couple of days tehre, then get a train to paris and north to lille day of the game. Saving a ton for a tiny bit extra of travel. And cos you were with a gang of you, it would be great craic.

Haha. What happened here? T'was only a bit of banter. Sorry for polluting the airwaves.

**IsMiseSean** · 01/01/2016, 4:29 PM

Will there be many gathered in Lille the night before the game?
Thinking of flying into Paris or Brussels on the 21st & staying there. Lille is a little off putting price wise the night before game.
