Where's everyone going before / after Belgium game

So the Paris train to St Jean doesnt even get us all the way to Bordeaux? Christ, we are only due to St Jean at 23.38. So at least another hour onto that? Gonna be one long ass day Big smile

Also, where would I look at for strike info and if the Paris to St Jean train is affected?

Info from Welsh fan re their Saturday experience

Re Driving

Follow the Euro 2016 parking signs which lead you to take junction 6 off the ringroad (A630). Don't take J4 or J5 as seems the obvious thing to do when driving from the North.

You'll think it's taking you miles out of your way, but you end up at the massive, free stadium car park. It was half empty on Saturday. Ignore the Park and Ride.
---------------- and
We parked at "Les Aubiers" tram station - park and ride spaces for about 300 cars which was half empty even straight after the game. €4.50 for parking and return ticket to the ground which covered up to 5 people, and was only 10 minutes each way. Plenty of trams lined up after the game, was on the motorway within 30 minutes of full time. Saw quite a few Welsh fans do the same.

I agree, car parking around the stadium was huge. If you get there early (3-4 hours before KO), you can then nip in and out of town quickly on the trams. Good atmosphere on the trams too. Not much to do around the stadium, so plenty of fans going both ways..!
----------------
The best thing you can do mate is avoid all the "official" advice about flamboyant flags and size of flags and stadium car park being closed. Load of bullsh*t mate. Go early park in the free loads of spaces stadium car park and if you wish get a tram into town and back.

Lot of scaremongering on here from certain quarters I can't mention any organisations or I will be castigated again.

Hi guys !

My name's Félix, i'm a french reporter working for TELEFOOT, a show about football's actuality on TF1, the first french TV channel.

I'm actually looking for an irish fan association to follow them all the way to Bordeaux from Paris. I would shoot with my cameraguy to broadcast this on the next show, sunday morning.

Could you give me the phone number of someone in charge of an association if such a person exists ?

Thanks a lot :)

Félix

Hope to God the flights won't be cancelled because of strikes...

On that flight aswell Friday evening, staying in Lormont for the weekend. Can get a tram there but seems like alot of hassle at that hour of the night. Might just go to town aswell if there is room for one more in that taxi and dump the bags with one of the lads in town.
