Pre season friendly away to Lens

[ChicagoCat]

Playing in America on 8th July iirc.

Lack of vision and foresight from the club here, sadly.

 

[Unlucky Black Cat]

Lens? Can't see that happening

 

[contrarian]

That will help us to focus

It will require us to focus but will give us maximum exposure

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

Eurostar the best option for this methinks

 

[Geras]

Should be some spectacle .

 

[Sam Handwich]

Lens? Can't see that happening

I can see what you've done there

Went to Lens in 98 for England v Columbia. IIRC at the time the capacity of the ground was more than the population of the town! Based ourselves in Lille.

Lens Fairclough

 

[The Shepherd]

Was there when England beat Columbia in '98 with Beckham's free kick...some day that!

 

[WestSussexMackem]

Went there for the Euros in 2016, accommodation was very sparse.

Stay in Lille and get train to Lens
Lovely square with bars and restaurants in Lille

There was talk of a game in Austria, too

Where’ve you seen this? In Austria back end of July/start of August.

[turnthetide3]

It'll give us a much clearer perspective for when we conquer Europe.

Heard a couple of different people mention it.

 

[boylie_mackem]

Went to England v Wales there in 2016. Lens is an absolute shit tip. We stayed in Arras which was great.
