Lens is a shithole, with nowhere near enough hotel beds to keep being allowed to stage international football.

Lens...

 

150000 Brits, 10000 baton happy policemen, 74 kebab shops, 6 hotels, 3 pubs, 1 mile exclusion zone around the stadium.

 

Zero interest.

the ground's capacity is greater than the population of the town!

Ticket touting illegal and yet "Authorised Secondary Ticket Agents" can put a 400% markup on tickets.

 

Aye right.

 

Wankers.

Nearby Sangatte has a decent campsite.

Macca, tomo et al were up for driving...

Booked 10th > 18th June

Paris 10th> Mareilles 11th (Aix en Provence) > Montpellier 12th >  Tolouse 13th > Bordeaux 14th is as far as we've got for hotels.  

 

Not particularly looking forward to Lens if France 98 was anything to go by.   

Sounds splendid

My lad and nephew are going. Lad got tickets through adidas (Knew it would come in handy for him)

They got England v Wales and last 16 which will involve the winner of England's group.

 

He's after a couple of England v Slovakia if anyone hears of any spares.

Anybody going to watch any of the games at Lens?

Imagine if they used the same tactics on terrorists etc, there'd be fucking uproar ....civil liberties, infringements of rights etc....

Didn't they do the same in Lens in '98?

 

I remember some had somehow got their hands on some booze, but mostly, there were groups of lads meandering around like lost sheep, it was quite amusing to observe

Didn't realise we play Russia in Marseille till today. Jesus wept.

 

Should imagine The North African street gangs will make the right wing Russian ultras perfectly welcome.

Yes, they did.

 

I was over there for the tournament working for Anheuser-Busch and we did a roaring trade selling "friends and family" access to our hospitality tents.

We've tricked them and booked in Valenciennes so it will be a quick trip in and out and back to the alcohol rivers of the suburbs, I can imagine the bar owner in Lens telling Mr H that he is not allowed to serve any alcohol

In lens for albania switzerland haha

S'pose you'll be rooting for Albania, as it will be fairly similar to watching Scotland :-)

Have a good 'un.

Mr H didn't get any ale in 98 in Lens and the trains stopped running to Lille that day so surprised he's going back.

Is it worth driving down to Lille to watch the Wales game? Never done an England away before but having looked into how cheap it is to get there I fancy this.

If its anything like the Colombia v England game in 98 I would not bother 80,000 England fans went and the stadium held about 40,000 and the train stopped running after Lille was destroyed it was mayhem.

Sooner shove darts up my arse than go back there.

 

I can imagine Mr H will spend longer on the train than in Lens being told he cant have a drink.

Surely the whole point of a euro jolly is to get wrecked?

The Dutch police in Euro 2000 let us get as stupidly pissed as we wanted. And we did. For a week solid. Thousands in the Dam. No trouble.

 

The Belgians acted the cunt and it exploded.

 

The French just don't fucking like us.
