Lille - Info (Travel, Hotels, Bars, Directions etc)

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.

See I told you all.

Thanks for your helpful translation services mate.

I'm on same bus as you mate & booked in there, they told me to book the Wed night, the reception is 24 hr, check out by 12 but can leave bags in lockers at reception & pick up after game if wish as open 24hr.
I get bus back at 1:45 am so plenty of time to collect bag if cba carting it to stad. I'm travelling light like & it's only a small daypack to put tickets & shiz in.

Considered wearin' a pair of cargo pants tbh as could basically fit everythin' bar a cpl of things in them

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.

This is true, my mate is a Wigan fan, and they cocked up on ticketing for Maribor in their last game last season. Went to Belgium and Russia and never got a ticket for Maribor, so in the end, he bought one of the set aside 'corporate' ones in the Main Stand!
