All,

Picked up my tickets for the game today (sent by Everton) and I am in block (ALLEE M04) - am I sitting in the home end? seems strange that these tickets came direct from Everton if so.

Cheers for any help

If the numbers are anywhere near 10,000 then it must be the biggest following for a European away apart from a final ever?

This is going to be a legendary game for blues everywhere - I can honestly say I've never been more excited by a game than this - including the cup finals in 95 and 09.

brilliant stuff

I'll be in Lille by 3 tomorrow and don't even have to get a wobbling plane or boat. I'm not sure my girlfriend knows what she's letting herself in for.

I remember last time we were in Europe there were always away fans right below me in the main stand and I later discovered that teams must provide some seats for away fans in the "best" stand, so at a guess that could be what's happening here.

There was around that number if not more in Nurnberg I think.

Get on Airbnb.co.uk mate. I've booked an apartment for 3 of us just off the main square for £57 for the night.

Translated from Stade Pierre Mauroy regulations:

Catherine Wheels and Sparklers are allowed, but as per French Stadium Regulations no more than a box of six per person.

Sparklers are only allowed on the concourse, and Catherine Wheels must be securely nailed to the ginger stewards head, leaving a 6mm clearance between Catherine Wheel,nail,and nut, for maximum rotation speed.

If the steward isn't available it is advisable to use the hat of the nearest Gendarme.

As Hammers are banned from the stadium, you can ask the nearest Gendarme to lend you his baton, or alternatively you can use the butt of your automatic pistol to fix the nail into place.

Hope this helps.
