I was going to say that You'll know the best place to grab some food, what's that pub like across the road ?
The Travellers Tavern ?

The Victoria is a nice pub .. if you come out the side entrance of victoria train station onto buckingham palace road its there opposite 111 buckingham palace road. they do nice food in there too.

have a good one coyb!

Does everyone expect a hassle-free takeover of the Grand Place? I know we did it in the main square in Lisbon. But I suspect the French will not take so kindly to their peaceful coffee-sipping and intellectual discussions being disrupted by working class blues on the march. Maybe Rue de Sorofino might be a more appropriate area.

Hope you all have a great time ! 10k meant to be making the trip !
Superb support !

No chance

Rangers at Villarreal

Loads of English sides in nou camp and San Siro .

Still up there though

Villareal only holds c 20,000. I'd be surprised if Rangers filled half of it or even received anything like half the tickets. I also doubt if any English side has ever taken more than 5,000 to either Barcelona of Milan, if only because despite the size of these stadiums the away ticket allocations are small.

Perhaps we can claim with a fair degree of dertainty that this will be the biggest ever English away following in the Europa League.

even though the nou camp away allocation is only 4000 its easy getting tickets even for CL games. plenty have taken more than 5k there.

but this lille turn out is going to be up there with anything considering its in the Europa league and its hardly a glamour tie.

 

[Stutheblue]

Are the tickets for Lille the same price for Adults, Concessionary and children? I've heard they were £16 across the board. If so any tickets purchased on say a 16-21 season ticket could be used by an adult. Would that be right as normally you pay less?

7000 ticketless rangers fans according to this at villareal mate.

Fears of trouble in the small town of Vila Real, about 40 miles north of Valencia, had arisen in the days before the match as it was estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 Rangers fans would arrive, despite an official allocation of only 3,000 tickets. It had also been reported that many of the visitors had forged tickets.

Open 'til 11:30 pm. Don't be hard on @chicoazul as you age your metabolism slows, as I know only too well. Twice a day, week or month? Twice a year as far as I am concerned.

I believe that I am his senior... or same age (46), I'm just 1 of those that never gains weight, could do with gaining 1/2 stone to a stone I reckon.
If I get Ill & lose some it takes me an absolute age to put any back on, simply eating more just doesn't do it, don't eat anywhere near as much junk these days but even when I was a junk food king I never gained any.

I'm six foot three, sixteen and a half stone and almost have a six pack. Honestly almost.

Leave your dirty propaganda of me out on the street you filthy animal. I'm shapely baby.
