[Archived] If We Get Through And Play Lens

[only2garners]

Not far from Lille & Paris.

Nearest airport flying from Manc/Lpool is Paris CDG.

Waggy's coach is the future

Brussels airport is actually nearer, although not by much - 160km against 180km. Neither are very handy. Train or driving is best, although Eurostar is a bit pricey at c£100 return from London.

[JordnRovers]

i'd be interested, but i'd REALLY be interested if alcohol was available on the coach.

[waggy]

most coach firms are dry these days,you would be suprised how hard it is to find a coach firm willing to take football fans,and i can drink !!!!but yet to meet anyone who can drink 24/7,remenber there is a game to watch,thats why tris is giving me a dvd of the german leg

Thanks 2garners - I didnt think anyone would notice! You are right though, neither is 'close'

Penwortham eh?.... I grew up just off Hill Road south - sweet memories

Well, how about a convoy of four mini buses? - Might cost a bit more, but it would be a proper booze cruise!

Slight problem - I am not sure if you are allowed to take mini buses out of the country.

Maybe a BAD idea - its early

Bloody United didnt do me any favours t'other night with police hitting fans with sticks. And much as I explained that United fans deserve hitting with sticks.... :ph34r:

What gives you that idea pp? we took a mini bus to Lyon so unless something has changed

[waggy]

had more quotes but they are all the same no alcohol,i reckon if we go round blackburn on the ######,get picked up at 12,sleep till dover,get a few in the bar on the ferry with our full english,it will be just as good

[laughatthedingles]

[AggyBlue]

Waggy - was on a decent 'wet' coach to Cardiff for semi-final. Macky may know more about who sorted it. Just had to make sure we emptied most of the ale around the bottom of the M50.

Am sure any coach sorted about by yourself would be a top trip.

[1864roverite]

WAGGY tonights result is your fault for counting toomany chickens

[Roost]

###### to it Waggy, Lets go to Lens in a fooking coach ANYWAY

I am well up for it!

Blackburn Rovers forever - Ewood was alive tonight - lets have the same again next wednesday.

[Billy Castell]

Yes, we should all go in Rovers shirts anyway for a laugh.

[waggy]
