£125pp  Don’t know whether that’s good value but wasn’t expecting that when I opened the link 

It was £40 to Lille the other year, going from the counting house.

Did Bournemouth on a Tuesday night in 2016, somehow wound up on Coach 1. 

Swore I'd never use FT again and I've stuck to that. Would rather do a lengthy stretch in Guantanamo 

In fairness, I did Fox Travel last season for the first time ever ... to Preston and was lucky enough to end up on coach 8 or 9 or something like that.   And it was a decent crowd.   

But yeah, bus 1 might have been "a different experience"!

Yes the coach 1 brigade must love following 'The City' but they certainly don't show it

Anyone know any more details for Fox Travel? Like it just says leaving 2.15am - is it going on the ferry? Arrival time in Lens? Is it coming straight back after the game? Arrival time back? Could use some more details while I explore the different options!

£99 return on the ferry from Dover to Dunkirk. Not too shabby. 

On this right now and can assure you that the Premium Lounge for an extra £18 is well worth it  All you can eat/drink.

[Oncle Bob]

Also booked the £99 Dover to Dunkirk return crossing. 
 

Researching a visit to WW1 history sites close by such as Vimy Ridge to keep me off the Pelforth Brune until lunchtime.

 

Really looking forward to this away day.

Thanks I couldn’t find that for the life of me!

Not too bad value but a knackering schedule 

[Permafrost]

So, you'll get a good three hours pre-match, and about three minutes post-match.

When putting my non amendable passport details on the dfds website I've accidentally marked my nationality down as Afghanistan. Nightmare.

That schedule is making me tired just looking at it. 2am pick up and 3am back (more realistically 5am with inevitable delays because no chance is that coach leaving RC Lens at 6pm).

Yes got a feel of survival SAS about it 

 

There again I went Lille and the schedule was similar and I was fine (and I'm knocking on a bit)

I reckon departure at around 10pm might have been a little nicer. More time in Lens.

You wouldn’t more time in Lens, it’s not the prettiest place. A city know for its mining industry more than anything else

Like a French Coalville 😂😂 I was thinking more time out of the bus, but you’re not selling it to me.

[09bballer]

Anyone know roughly how many are going? Is there a way of finding out?

[SemperEadem]

Still a few spaces on a bus UFS are doing. Email [email protected] for more info.

[savage dan]

Anyone going by ferry? We might have a space in our car

[moore_94]

Can download tickets for this match from the Lens website at 4pm (not sure if that is 4pm here or in France though)

[moore_94]

Tickets now available to download on the RC Lens website

 

Can either download ones that you can print off or ones that you can add to your phone wallet

[Permafrost]

Cheers. Printed off my six 👍

Where are people thinking of drinking in Lille, in the square? Don't think Lens is up to much from memory.Wonder if we have sold many tickets.
