As we race towards a new year, thoughts for me are beginning to turn towards saving and preparing for Euro 2016 in France. I've already briefly talked to the likes of Bowtun Baked (I'll be pecking your head for the next 18 months!) EyesRight and Radcliffewhite in the past about their plans to go over, for me this will be the first time I've gone to a tournament like this.

 

Already been through the familiar stage of excited drunken discussions with mates who all sound well up for travelling - at one point there were about 10 of us going on a road trip beginning in Amsterdam, travelling through France for the tournament and ending up in the south of Spain. Yeah...

Now, as expected, there's only me still talking about it.

 

So, who's going? What are your plans? Leaving it till the last minute? Still recovering from Le Turnoi/France '98?

 

As it stands I'm looking at doing if not the entire month then up to 3 weeks, travelling around all over France on trains and staying wherever is available, based around whatever tickets I can get hold of. Not that fussed about going anywhere near the England scene, I'm more up for visiting different towns and cities, meeting groups of supporters of other countries - getting to a few games and watching the rest in fan parks but I've no doubt this will change as soon as I get there!

 

24 European teams, high chance the majority of them will bring large followings, only a short flight away. It's going to be lively. 

Be sitting down and taking a closer look soon,for me especially with my job I will be inclined to go out for a few games see how they progress then go back again when they next play.

Will probably be only 3 games for England!

Doing the 3 weeks

Be a nightmare to get into any games like 98 with that many English fans travelling.

I would love to get involved.

That's exactly how it was in Lille/lens for the Colombian game.

I have French residential addresses which will hopefully put me in good stead for tickets. I am in!

I've always liked you Dr Faustus

Not going, can't be arsed.

Pissed bellends chanting loudly and for no reason......ironic!

 

Also how can you get angry when you never did any games

I did Portugal in 2004. It started off with 4 of us and I ended up going alone. Had a great time, didn't see an England game and met a nice Portugese girl who I still keep in touch with.

 

34B is you're interested.

Munich and Liverpool flags everywhere.

Bolton lads selling forged tickets at top dollar to England fans in Brussells the Leicester lads were after blood.

That goes back to my point saying the 51% rule for bolton fans is bollocks.

It always has been utter bollocks, some of those who profess to supporting BWFC are utter bellends without a single redeeming feature

I could be tempted for this...

Will ask the wife.

I'll be going for three night's but to a city where England aren't playing

Doubt I will go but went in 98, don't go to Lille, it's a rough dump. If I do go, it will be a last minute job but I suspect I will be watching it all from the madness of a Las Vegas casino
