The9 Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 I'm fairly certain there will be plenty of tickets available over there, not many non-Welsh or N Irish will care and a fair few England fans will have Paris accommodation and Winner B tickets to sell to try and fund a trip to Nice on Monday. Saw tickets for every one of the 4 games we went to, some more than others. Ticket portal has sold out of today's official "new" allocation though.

bazza Posted 23 June, 2016 Share Posted 23 June, 2016 I'm up at 0600 - Eurotunnel at 0950, then driving to Paris with the wife and my dad, 2 of us have tickets, my dad doesn't. In the Wales end, 2 tickets face value. Only got back last Thursday morning after 4 games in 5 days in Lens, Lille, St Denis and Paris. The voucher exchange place will be bedlam on Saturday. Get there as early as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 Ireland are through. Now gunning for vengeance on French. Then on to Iceland That's certainly a nice place to go on holiday when the tournament is over for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulstersaint1980 Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 I'd applied for 'Follow My Team' tickets to this stage. That's it though, if by some minor miracle we progress to the quarters I'll be watching on the tv. The well has most definitely run dry & my liver's probably permanently damaged! Cheers mate, I'll try & get the flag up in a decent location again. (We do bring nearly as many flags as fans though!) [ATTACH=CONFIG]2060[/ATTACH] Ah, it was your flag I saw the other day on OWC twitter and stole for my whatsapp icon! Love it. You on twitter?

Window Cleaner Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 Only just looked at how the draw is divided. Never seen it so one sided in a tournament. England really did fck up there didn't they! Although...I guess they've done worse. Croatia have an amazing chance, best team in that side by miles. Guess one of Spain, Germany or France on the other side. Should be some great matches on that side anyway. Think Spain will hammer Italy though. I expect the draw was supposed to produce a France-Spain final, silly Spanish farked up by getting beaten by the Croats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 The voucher exchange place will be bedlam on Saturday. Get there as early as you can. I'm not collecting - and now my mate is staying overnight in Folkestone so they're in France by 8am. It doesn't even open until 10am (local) and there are only a few thousand Wales and same N Ireland fans with vouchers, so spreading that over about 6 hours shouldn't be too much of an issue. The 800 or so Saints tickets in Midtjylland given out over a shorter timescale didn't involve standing behind more than about 10 people, so scale that up 10 times and 100 people in a queue isn't too bad is it? The problem I found for Switz v Romania at the Parc des Princes was the terrible signage for red/yellow gates which meant loads of people went through the blue/green checks as well, thus getting checked twice. Basically you can walk across the peripherique bridge to get to red/yellow and there's a separate entrance. The blue/green was four bottlenecks and it took us nearly an hour from Porte St-Cloud Metro to getting into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 25 June, 2016 Share Posted 25 June, 2016 Wonder if Portugal could win the euros without winning a match The Swiss got knocked out of the World Cup without conceding a goal 10 years ago. They also became the first team in a WC penalty shoot out not to score a goal. Stick that in your pub trivia pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 Portugal v Croatia was a pretty dire game but I thought Jose and Cedric where good overall against a decent side in Croatia.

bazza Posted 26 June, 2016 Share Posted 26 June, 2016 Ah well, a crap game & a crap result. I reckon if we'd played for another couple of days we still wouldn't have scored. Disappointing also that so many of our fans couldn't travel as the Eurostars were booked out & flight prices were mental. Had a much quieter night in Paris than planned. Gutted really. Good luck to the Welsh but unless they improve dramatically they won't get past the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
