| Very happy with this. How many do ye reckon we'll bring? Only a friendly but it's so easy to get to and with no other confirmed aways until Sep/Oct I think we might bring big enough numbers. |

Definitely doing this for the Turkey friendly. I've always wanted to spend a few days in Istanbul, so if we draw Turkey in the Nations League, I might not bother going for the friendly. Might book this though. -------------

The only issue is that the lineup for the playoff will only be clear a week or two beforehand. At that stage, organising transport is likely to be expensive, especially if it is a distance from Paris. -------------

Sure travellers are purchasing the service aswell as the opportunity to travel. There are two promotion/relegation 2nd legs. Both hosted by 18th place in Ligue 1 and 18th place in Ligue 2.

I'd be more concerned with some of the scaries who've being showing up at some of our recent away matches.  Montemartre is a good spot for staying, lots of reasonably prices accommodation and bars. Found a cracking Belgian bar selling pints for €5. More looking forward to seeing Thierry "handball" Henry commenting on Sky about the game, and ask him to explain what he did.  SD.

Hopefully [Peut etre] they're accessible. On Sunday 27th May the 18th place in Ligue 1 has the second leg in Play-Off Final and on the same day there is a second leg Play-Off final for the Ligue 2 spot. But I don't know the details. (it's not written very well in my post you quoted). Keep an eye on the relegation zone of both divisions, no change there.

La Rochelle is quicker to get to now than it was in 2016... there's a new bit of high speed line opened. Under 2h30m now at the fastest and it may be less than €30 each way. It's only knocked 20 minutes off but the real benefit was knocking an hour off the time from Paris to Bordeaux, from three hours to two. -------------

Also, it's €29 return and over an hour on the bus from Beauvais, plus metro ticket to your destination on top of that. CDG to Paris is €10.30 and about half an hour to the city centre. It's worth remembering, is all. -------------

I would expect a bit more than that but don't really know. It could depend on the Nations League draw and other friendlies but otherwise fans could go 10-11 months without an away trip. Note I'm assuming less than 100 going to Turkey all right.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was more travelling to Turkey. Return flights and accommodation for 250e . Prob cost the same for France with flights and accommodation. both trips you will need 2 days off work . Antalaya will be like a short sun holiday and cheap as chips . Paris is expensive and plenty of lads have been there for the euros and the playoff before and a durty weekend away with the other half and the 6 nation's

I imagine we'll get an allocation of 6000+ for France and bring about 1000, for Turkey probably get an allocation somewhere in the range of 1500-2500 and take about 400 fans if I were to guess. Wont even need to think about tickets until early March.
