Has anyone looked round the stadium on google-earth?
Our south entrance looks a nightmare to get in.

Been round tonight, nobody round there to even try to find a spare: https://twitter.com/stonecold_jpm/status/1529876969353105408?s=21&t=cF0KvujhaPQ_EOdEbYrJ9Q
Posted pics as well on there.
Here’s Madrid fan park: https://twitter.com/stonecold_jpm/status/1529871169247223811?s=21&t=cF0KvujhaPQ_EOdEbYrJ9Q

Flying into Beauvais, best route/cheapest/quickest into central Paris?

Then flying out of CDG first thing on the sunday, what's the best bet to get back to CDG? Assuming we win there will be a few drinks after so don't fancy a 1/2am metro..

 

I flew into Beauvais on Tuesday. I stayed the night there and got the train from Beauvais to Paris Gard du Nord yesterday afternoon.

There's a bus stop outside the airport with regular local buses which take about 15 minutes to the station. The train cost €14.15. There's one direct one every hour along with another where you have to change, which is also hourly.

There's a shuttle bus from the airport to Paris but I'm not sure how much that is or how long it takes.

Bring some Euros with you though as there's only one ATM in the tiny Beauvais airport which stung me with  a €5 charge and the local bus at least doesn't take card.

Cheers for the updated info mate. What time are we likely to reach Paris? Possibly 9/10am?

The fella I spoke to seems to think we're on a 4.30 ferry, so arrive 7am there time. 4 hours from there!

Apologies if I have missed this, anyone been down to our fan park who can say whether there are any screens in place for the match?

Willy fooking wonka. Daughter bagged two from uefa today after getting email.  She has had 3 jabs OK, but nhs app is locked and can't get Covid pass. Just been to doctors and they can't fix at moment. But have given us printouts of jabs. We are out of Newcastle tomorrow with BA. Anyone know if letter from doctors will suffice instead of Covid pass?

you dont need the app, log in to nhs website on your phone and can get the pass there

pretty sure the metros finish before that mate.

Last train on RER is about 0030 so assume metro will be similar?

Is anyone going with tickets for the Madrid end? Do you think it will be possible to make our way to the Liverpool bit?

[stonecold_jpm]

Absolutely nothing up or even ready to be put up except fences down the whole street, busy traffic just continues as normal, massive trees all round it, vey strange place to put it. Really looks shit compared to Madrid.

[andy07]

Probably.  If you can’t do it via concourses you could always just walk round the rows of seats if you get in soon enough.  Never seen any formal segregation divide at a final.

There isn’t a 4.30 ferry using DPDS. It says we arrive at Dover Docks at 00.05 so wouldn’t think we’d be hanging around for 3 hours +. Still waiting for the detailed email…

I'm not so sure, there'll be heavy security segregation for safety reasons. Perhaps have a red top ready under a white top as you get close

The Kiev final we walked right round the ground. Had pics in the Madrid end and then ended up in media area with balague.
Also managed to walk round the stadium in europa final in Dublin between Porto and braga started in neutral area walked in to Porto end then braga end and ended up in media area with pat Nevin. Didn't try it in Madrid

The final when maybe 65% of those in the ground were in one half of the stadium. Our end was proper rammed.

[ScubaSteve]

On an easyJet flight tomorrow, hopefully they’ll be on

Athens was a lot worse. I had people pushing up against my chest.

[John C]

What time does the TAW show start, we haven't got tickets but I'd liked to have gone to that.

[rewood]

We have hotel near Orly Airport on Saturday night. Not sure about getting metro back there after game. Could be tight I think.  If anyone in same boat, maybe message me, could share taxi perhaps. Cheers.

In Madrid we were in the neutral section and managed to get right up alongside the Liverpool bit - which was sound.

[John C]

Stay safe everyone and enjoy your weekend.

Was it just standing in that bit of the neutral?

Got a ticket in the Seville end in Basel and managed to get over to the neutral end then walked through the concourse to our end and back out in to the stand. Small divide to hop over but stewards weren't exactly bothered. Quick dash back down the concourse and you'll be fine.

[Joff123]

Cheers, trying find best way to get to CDG from around the ground at like 2/3/4am.

Wasn't supposed to be I don't think!

N143 bus from Porte de Paris-Stade de France bus stop outside the metro station near the stadium. Buses run every half hour to CDG all through the night.

I know it's a while back now but the Istanbul neutral end was about 4 Liverpool fans to 1 Milan/Neutral. Based on some of the sales wouldn't be surprised if it's similar this time round.

You're not likely to get one. I was on the 8:10 out of Birmingham and just arriving in Dover. I'll let you know what ferry we get.

Also, no alcohol 

[L5red]

Any late spares please?

There was a coach in front of us that took a while through passport control as some of them apparently didn't have their Vax/Test ready.

Then at security a fella got on and scanned all our passports.

They'd tried to get on the 2:55 but waited for another coach that was having issues.

So we are on the 4:40 Irish ferry which is apparently what we were on.

Didn't help we stopped for 45 minutes less than 20 minutes outside Birmingham at a service station (and it was 40 minutes late turning up).

Be prepared for a lot of waiting about essentially

[harrythedog]

On 0700 Eurostar. Any late spares? Daughter having mine as she missed the ballot!

[nozza]

Hopefully you were just unlucky with a few things going against you on the night to not make the earlier one. Least your in France now so that’s the main thing!

True enough. We're less than 90 minutes from Paris now.

[sheepfest]

The red wave of scousers is arriving Paris so look out. 
Stay safe everyone and lets bring number 7 back home.

Bag checks done? Had my email this morning but just says to expect delays, no confirmed times.

As in there was a table of lads drinking dark fruits in full view. Play it by ear and don't walk on with eight crates but they weren't arsed.

[PoetryInMotion96]

Leg one of the trip done to Holland… anyone in Eindhoven tonight?
