It's been emotional....we've made it..

What's everyone's preferred towns for the matches in France?

I'm going for 1. Bordeaux, 2. Toulouse.
Great towns and plenty of good memories from both.

UPDATE

UEFA have now published the draw procedure:

http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/finals/news/newsid=2306201.html#uefa+euro+2016+finals+draw+need+know

Pot 1: France, Spain, Germany, England, Portugal, Belgium

Pot 2: Italy, Russia, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Ukraine

Pot 3: Czech Republic, Sweden, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary

Pot 4: Turkey, Republic of Ireland, Iceland, Wales, Albania, Northern Ireland

How does the draw work?
The 23 qualifiers have been divided into four pots based on UEFA national coefficients. France are not included in the pots as they are automatically assigned as team A1, so Pot 1 has five teams.

The teams will be drawn into six groups of four (Groups A to F). The draw starts with Pot 1. One ball is drawn and the team is assigned to Group B, position B1; a second ball is drawn and the team is assigned to Group C, position C1; and so on till Group F.

The draw continues with Pot 4. A ball is drawn and the team assigned to Group A. The position of this team within Group A is also determined by draw. A second ball is drawn from Pot 4 and assigned to Group B; again the position within Group B is drawn. The procedure is repeated for all teams in Pot 4.

The draw continues with Pot 3 and concludes with Pot 2. Each time a team is drawn the position within the relevant group is determined by draw. The top two in each section plus the four best third-placed sides advance to the knockout phase.

Venue Combinations:

http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/09/59/58/2095958_DOWNLOAD.pdf

We could be any of the below except position A1, B1, C1 etc.

Thanks to Shedite for the table - Kilometres and dates are now included but obviously this doesn't include the travel from arrival point to first game or from last group game to (?)...

1st position scratched - that can't be us until our group is finished..:-)

"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."

Lens.

Right up the northern border, so its closer and the stadium stands are very close to the pitch so it'll make for a good atmosphere

Hoping Bordeaux - Worse case scenario would be Paris & I would have said that before the attacks as I was there over the summer & didnt like it . Main thing is that we are there & hopefully put in a good performance & make me cancel the return ferry & stay on for longer .

Preferably Toulouse, great city. Nice & Marseille would be expensive spots and we'll skip Paris so anywhere else would be grand really

No, no, no...you HAVE to do Paris....I Love Paris!! Amazing city - super people (well all the North Africans I met were really sound the last time I was over....Henry HanballAngry ) and great crack.
 
........and if we don't do Paris, then we don't get to have another 500-a-side game under the Eiffel Tower again...CryCryCry.....and our team was robbed the last time - TWO offside goals and a handball - and that was just the guys selling the souvenirs who were cheating....
 
....and if we don't do Paris, we don't get to take over an entire Metro train on the way out to the ground and have a ballad session....CryCryCryCry
 
......I mean tradition and all that....!!!
Platini are you listening
You'd better keep your trophy glistening
Cos we'll be over next year

Marseille, Lyon  and Lille would be best regarding getting tickets outside of Paris, the remainder of the grounds are quite small

Been to Paris twice now and didnt like it on either occasion so would hope not to be drawn there again
Its very frustrating being a Slob

Wouldn't mind a return to Toulouse - lovely city with sound people and schmokin hot women. Marseille would be good too. Although I didn't enjoy Paris the last time I was there wouldn't mind giving it another crack. So yeah - anywhere really!

anywhere in the south so the travel distances are ok for those who book before the draw.

Would rather be based in the north myself. Lille and Lens would be ideal and we could base ourselves in a city between the 2.

Flights already gone up for these dats. it was too cheap and tbh its a great flight. jump on metro and your in the main train station if you want and can go anywhere. taking a gamble we wont be playing on the 11th but sure can always change flight .
