Pre season friendly away to Lens

[WestSussexMackem]

8:34 Eurostar to Lille
21:05 back to St Pancras

£130, that will do nicely.

 

[Hmmmmmm returns]

What’s the easiest and cheapest way to get there and back before I even start to look

Drive to Dover, ferry and 1 hour drive to the ground.

Aye there's some decent enough prices on at the moment and if you book today there's 25% off. 138 return going Friday night and coming back Sunday morning.

Could be an option

A lot more accessible when you live in Sussex, I guess. For the rest of us that probably means 2 overnights near London, or one in London, one in Lille then a morning start from Lille for the return journey.

All good practice for the Europa League

Looking at £33 return flights to Beauvais airport then train to Lens via Amiens.

 

[billingham-mackem]

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

Same

Only 40 minutes on the train from Lille to Lens

From ncl?

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Agreed. I don’t think we’ll ever see them again.

We might bring the South Shields pre season friendlies back.

Gateshead less likely imo, didn’t they fuck about this season and we had to quickly rearrange the venue?

 

[Red and White]

Flying to Charleroi and staying in Lille for 2 nights.

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Think I'll be doing this one! Dead easy from London.

I'm also on the 8:34 out on the Saturday but staying overnight and back on the Sunday

Not really. Could easily leave Sunderland AM Friday morning, be in London for lunchtime and then on a PM eurostar to Lille without any stop overs in/near London.

Due to wanting to save annual leave though I'm travelling down to London after work Friday night and then early eurostar out Saturday morning

 

[danthemanSAFC]

From ncl?

Fly out of Manchester and fly into Birmingham. Bit of a fanny on but trains look cheap

 

[Roker Scoreboard]

Anyone thinking of the Eurostar with London stay over, there appears to be no trains north from KGX on the Sunday.

Yeah this is a problem, got a £21 single down to London for the Friday but nowt available coming back, nothing to Carlisle neither.

Is the kick off 4pm French time?
Lens have it as 4pm on their site but we have it as 4pm (BST) on ours. Have they forgot to adjust for the time difference?
