Marc505 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 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.

Mounts Kipper Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Be a nightmare to get into any games like 98 with that many English fans travelling. Edited December 30, 2014 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freds dad Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
