My plans start with and are totally reliant on being able to get tickets. Then I plan to book Eurostar to Brussels and will probably stay there. Plan One Drive to Ebbfleet and park. (around £12) Eurostar to Brussels Approx £130 return Hotel in Brussels Twin room £50 between two Train to match. £10 Return Plan Two Wife drives me to pub and I get pissed whilst they try to find a stream
Plan three Sit at home and watch stream whilst talking wife into 'cheering up' activities post match.
Keep an eye in twitter or Facebook for details. Also will CTwD be doing another trip? And what was the success of the previous one?
You can buy a Eurostar ticket that entitles you to onward two way travel to any station in Belgium, provided you travel through Brussels. Buy that and you are covered no matter where the away leg is played.
Good shout. I changed the whole enquiry. £174.00 return Leave Southampton at 8 arrive Brussels at 1405. Door to door no stress, no driving. Add £25 each for the hotel and my original £200 is spot on. I looked at driving and it works out. 600 miles approx £90.00 Ferry £110 Hotel £50 Estimate 7.5 hours. Mind you the drive is tempting! Leave Southampton at 0530 aim to arrive at Brussels at 1400 I can get to Dover in 2.5 and allowing 3 hours in total for the ferry. Another 2.5 on the other side (including getting lost). It is a close run thing to be honest. A couple more in the car and I would rent a bigger car. Adding £65 to the cost. At the moment we would use a Ford Fiesta!! This is a trip that just has to be done!
