Marc505 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 We stayed in Antibes, 10 miles near Cannes, beautiful Can't say much about Nice centre as I was only their a few hours The ground is fucking miles out of town though, get the horrendous bus (45 mins jam packed) it's the only way, we got the train to the airport and walked it for 45 minutes from their on the way in (red hot). Left early to head towards the taxi rank but no taxis so walked back towards the airport then paid rediculous money flagging a taxi to save half the walk. It really is in the middle of nowhere mate If your in Nice a few days defo head to Antibes / Juan le Pins / Cannes for a day or 2 superb! P.s - about 25 mins on train from Nice to those areas, trains run regularly and until about 11pm I've just experienced this. Free coach from the Fanzone in Nice to the ground on matchdays (all public transport is free on matchdays in Nice as an apology to people for the traffic says the lady at my hotel) But, they drop you a 1 or 2km walk away from the ground, it was fucking torture in that heat. Then the same back. If there's a few of you Id consider a taxi. Can barely walk now. Doing a walking challenge with work for charity so weve all got pedometers, I've done 109,000 steps since Friday. Knackered.
frank_spencer Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Why are ITV covering it like a home nations game? IIRC the oirish ITV get the same broadcast

Salford Trotter Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 How far is that then Malc? By my rough calculations (subject to the size of the step) that's around 50 to 55 miles
Guest Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 By my rough calculations (subject to the size of the step) that's around 50 to 55 miles Not overmuch in 6 days

Marc505 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Its enough when I usually sit at a desk eating biscuits all day! I know there were Uber cabs operating in Marseille but not sure about Nice, if I find out whilst mooching around today I'll let you know
L/H White Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Switzerland to beat Poalnd Wales to beat Northern Ireland Croatia to beat Portugal France to beat Ireland Germany to beat Slovakia Belgium to beat Hungary Italy to beat Spain England to beat Iceland
DaveTheRave Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Switzerland to beat Poalnd Wales to beat Northern Ireland Croatia to beat Portugal France to beat Ireland Germany to beat Slovakia Belgium to beat Hungary Italy to beat Spain England to beat Iceland Spain will beat Italy. Apart from that I reckon you're right.
birch-chorley Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Is uber available over there? Any idea how much taxi would cost from fanzone to stadium? Theres three of us so reckon I'd rather do that. I tried to get an Uber, they jammed the prices sky high, was something rediculous like 100 euro to get back to the station - didn't fancy that between me and the Mrs! But then ended up flagging one down and giving them 40 after we had walked half way - ha ha If they're is 3 of you tgen it is probably worth getting a return taxi from town to the stadium and pay in advance. Saw loads who had done this and had a taxi waiting for them at an agreed pick up place (we were trying every taxi) Their is a small hotel / retail park the opposite site of the stadium from the city / free buses - easy enough to get away if you meet them there Your hotel should be able to arrange for you Edited June 23, 2016 by birch-chorley
jules_darby Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Switzerland to beat Poalnd Wales to beat Northern Ireland Croatia to beat Portugal France to beat Ireland Germany to beat Slovakia Belgium to beat Hungary Italy to beat Spain England to beat Iceland I fancy Poland over the Swiss Wales over NI, but you never know Croatia to beat Portugal, but if Ronaldo shows up that can change france to beat Ireland Germany to beat Slovakia Belgium to beat Hungary, but if the Belgians play like in their first game and Hungary keep attacking you never know Italy Spain could go either way We must beat Iceland surely I think there's a still a few twists yet

L/H White Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Spain will beat Italy. Apart from that I reckon you're right. Spain struggled to break the Czech's down and couldn't finish Croatia off. I can see Italy keeping them out and nicking one IMO of course Edited June 23, 2016 by L/H White

That's some fucking going mate!
