Is anyone going to be there on the Tuesday?. Travelling by myself on the eurostar Tuesday afternoon all my mates arriving on the Wednesday. Hopefully have all the decent pubs sussed out by the time they arrive.

Lille is going to be blue for three days. Our Eurostar out of there isn't until 8.30pm on the Friday.

I'm wondering whether to book in a hostel to get a kip after I arrive at 4:30, doubt I'll sleep travelling & if it's gonna rain then park benches are out, wouldnt wanna ruin the afternoon & match & evening through being knackered.
Only £18 as well.

you sound like a bad minge bag

I arrive at 4:40 am & leave at 1:30 am, so what do you suggest I do ? book a £90 room that I have to vacate before 12 o'clock ?

Mate, I've decked down in doss-holes all over the world and I aint gonna start booking 5* luxury for a footy match. Once a backpacker, always a Backpacker, I invented the goddam gap year & spent 7 years perfecting it, you don't do that by splashing out on places with Spa's & À la carte dining experiences.

you just said it was £18 for a hostel. Debating over spending a score to help you enjoy your trip is pretty daft. It should be a no brainer

well it is a no brainer tbh, I was just intending rockin up & hangin around until I saw how cheap a bed was, and the fact that you can check in at that time cos the majority of gaffs you cant.

It can't sell out until it gets down to STH with 1 away. They said everyone with a Season Ticket with 2+ is guaranteed a ticket.

Will people going in the "home end" be wearing everton shirts? Or is there any restrictions about that?
I'm in L22 btw.

I will, I'll have it covered going in probably cos gonna be cack weather anyway, saying that though my Berghaus is Blue along with about 90% of my wardrobe. Unless they wade into a whole block with batons then we should be fine once through turnstiles, hoping common sense is used by LOSC tbh cos there's a lot in those blocks next to the away end.

FWIW, I thought that Nuremburg was closer to 4,000. The 6,000 that went to Benfica was said to be our highest away crowd in Europe since the final of 1985.

I thought there were more at Villareal than Nuremburg, Everton fans and flags all around the ground.

Nurenburg there was easily 6-7000, probably about the same number who went to villareal aswell
6000 to benfica would have been the highest official attendance
There will be about 8-9000 of us in lille, will be brilliant

Is anyone on the Eurotunnel from Folkestone? If so what time?
