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

[sheedy's big toe]

Yes mate. If you can't get a ticket that afternoon in Lille (if you're doing this then a French sign for Tickets Please would say "BILLETS SVP" so make one of them maybe.

You wanna definitely go here:
Australian Bar in the old town. 2, Avenue du Peuple Belge, Vieux Lille. You can't miss it, and ask anyone on the way cos everyone knows where it is.
The old town opens up into a little square with a grass lawn, and the Oz bar is black and gold building dead ahead.

Other than that then Rue Solférino has big Irish and other pubs with big screens - walk from the giant MacDonalds in the corner of Grand Place down Rue Nationale....10 mins or so, it's on the left, all neon and beer signs, can't miss it.

Since it's LOSC playing tho, most bars will turn their TVs on specially for the game. They only do this for Lille matches, but that's what this is so it'll be on all over.

jimEFC see you in the oz bar about 1.30 ish have a safe journey over i owe you a few shandy's then i'll catch up in wolfsburg all being well

Shudehill Exchange or something which I'm told is next to Victoria Station although when I googled it it showed up as round the corner where the buses go into the Arndale.

nutter's the bloody lot of you. we'll fight them on the beaches. we'll fight them in the air

 

[sheedy's big toe]

i know, my mistake.

Shudehill's not far from Vic station. Toward Piccadilly, maybe 2 mins walk, but just ask someone, no need for a taxi or anything.

Much better than Chorlton St bus station. Never go there if you can help it!
