Anyone planning to go out France in the summer
What games and where are you staying?
Looking at doing a roadtrip to Lens for the Wales game. Staying in Bethune just north of Lens as hotels in Lens are ridiculous prices. Anyone else planning similar?

Another way would be to use camp sites
Not a spartan as over here and generally good value too
Hire a chalet or mobile, you can do multicentres and short stays
Just an idea

I'm at a wedding in Santorini on the day of the final, just as well we'll lose on penalties in the 1/4's I suppose.

was thinking of starting a thread on our squad/starting xi for this. if woy gets his selection right (no rooney!) think we could have a decent side. not sure we'll win it but might surprise a few teams.

Booked travel for the group games - flying to Marseille for the Russia game and staying a couple of miles outside the centre. A group of us in a minibus are taking Eurotunnel for Wales, but staying in Lille rather than Lens. Then we're flying to Geneva for the Slovakia game, driving to and staying in Lyon rather than Saint-Etienne.
Currently thinking about whether to gamble on flights for the last 16 if we win the group. I am not convinced.
There are no hotels in the cities where and when games are on. Rooms traditionally become available as people find they don't get tickets etc, but I prefer not to gamble.

Going to the final, didnt bother with anything else.
Eurostar out on the saturday, return monday. £120 return which I thought wasnt too bad. Couple of nights in a decent hotel wasnt that expensive either all things considered.
Last one I did was 2004 and that was superb.

Once i'd read into the process i was going through a lot of checks and effort to try and get one of a few hundred tickets in a 40,000 seater stadium
First major tournament for me and as like i said its relatively close thought it'd be worth the drive

Through the FA, do you mean? If you haven't been to an away game before then you'd have had next to no chance other than for the Russia game, so it might have been a hoop not worth bothering jumping through.

I applied through the main 2016 website for random matches before it was known who would be in which matches and was unsuccessful. I've now applied for a QF.
You can still apply up to next week I think.
