Rennes Away (Travel Plans)

[blurryface]

Any idea how many sports options need in sign ups to constitute an all systems go? I'm a bit wary of last minute planning if it doesn't go ahead, but very tempted to sign up for it

Glad to know there is options, I have a flight booked out but held back on flight home while I worked out holiday allowance at work, flying home Friday is still too expensive!

Booked home flight from Nantes for around £40 to eats mids via Dublin booking with trip.com

Mates just made some good points

 

Hes holding out to see what ticket prices are like, and also whether he wants to spend £400 on 18 hours if we’ve been ‘dicked 4-0 at our place’ 

 

So it could be a slow seller this trip

Think this is what I’m doing, will be waiting until after the home leg to book. May sell out before then but it’s a risk I’m willing to take.

I was one of the ones let down ré Warsaw and had to rush around looking for alternatives, but I went Madrid with them with no problems. 

Me too, tho I'm hesitant to blame sport options for it. I emailed the guy and he said he'd took 60 odd bookings and needed 150 to break even....the City ticket office's weird 'anti-male' sales policy was the root cause of the cancellation, not sport options.

Yeah. Worst case scenario is you miss out on this trip after attempting to book after winning the first leg 

 

Then you just hope we qualify for the next round 2 weeks later

[Foxes1]

Anyone familiar with the ferry timetables? Le derby Normand, Le Havre-Caen, is on the Saturday at 2pm so trying to work out how to get back in time for Brentford on Sunday but can’t get my head around it

 

edit: and hopefully see the next Mahrez haha

Also looking at Laval who play at home on on the Friday

We're doing that Laval game on the Friday.

Ferry crossing on Saturday from Dieppe (1745) and Caen (2300) would get you in England in time for Sunday's game

Shame the trains back are either right near full time or a two hour wait for the last one to Rennes

So for going out to France it looks like all you need is evidence of vaccination and this sworn statement thing?

 

And for coming back you just need to do a PLF?

No PLF....I came back from Copenhagen 1 hour ago and nobody at Stansted asked to see it.

[coolcol]

Regarding France's Covid situation and ground capacity, does anybody know if they are back to full capacity at the moment ?

 

If not this could affect the amount of tickets we get.

Hmmm..... Wonder what we could do for 2 hours before the last train 🍺..🍷 😏

[blurryface]

This is easily the most "how will I get there I don't know" game for me, doing the nantes to dublin to brum flight to get home. 

 

Always worth it. Might not get this again for a while.

So no covid jabs means it's a no go? Or is there a way?

If you've not any covid jabs, no entry to the country. You need a 'compelling reason' to enter France without vaccination

For info I travel to France a lot they are not like this country they are extremely anal when it comes to checking covid passes and that French declaration thing you have to do.  Jabs have to be witin dates too else they wont let you in.  French really dont like us Brits so unfortunately if you havent been jabbed you havent a hells chance of getting in.

Seemingly still some relatively well priced flights from Gatwick to Nantes Weds-Sat for those looking. 

 

From the airport to Rennes, it works out a chunk cheaper to hire a car and park it at the hotel too.  

[adejo92]

So, to clarify, is this correct?

 

● Entering France;

Must be double jabbed.

 

● Entering Hospitality / Football;

Must be double jabbed & Booster within 9 months.

 

I Cant seem to find any 'idiot proof' guidance. Most pages seem to say that your booster must be within the 9 months of the 2nd jab.

 

I had my booster in November, so I am 'hoping' I'll be okay regardless however I think there will be a lot of disappointed people who have booked flights and won't even be able to enter the country - or, who will enter the country and not be allowed in any pubs, bars, restaurants or stadiums.

That's generally how I read it but as you say it could be interpreted so many ways.
