If the rain keeps up in France it could be good news for those travelling by Ferry as it will drop you off at the stadium......

Here's mine:
Stage 1- Wednesday 8th Newcastle to London national express get to London around midnight
2- Eurostar ar st Pancras to Paris 05.40
3- Paris metro to montparnasse
4- sncf Paris-Bordeaux
5- find somewhere to stay
6- enjoy next 4 nights in Bordeaux watch match in stadium fan park for England game
7- Monday 13th Bordeaux-Paris sncf train
8- metro to Paris Eurostar

It's not the cheapest way but there's a lot more expensive ways to get there also.

sorry mate I only have 2 spaces left (I might have a 3rd but that depends on my old man) he's over there now and being picked up at midday and not coming back to midnight might be too long a day for him.

Travel is not through the roof. £45 by train Llandudno to Dover, flag and poster should get you a lift across Channel. or Liverpool to Limoges Megabus.co.uk 02.10 liverpool - 02.45 Limoges Cost £37 23 hrs........................ Most dangerous part of your trip is making sure Scousers don't knick your stuff  |
