Anyone else on the 11.30 Ryanair flight on Wednesday out of Stansted? If so then maybe share a taxi into Marseille rather than slum it on the bus?

Also, anyone staying in the Novotel Marseille Vieux Port.....?

Where is everyone drinking before/after the game? Although not sure I fancy being held in some shed with no "facilities" for a few hours after getting on the beer because i will probably piss myself

We're planning on getting to Stansted early and going straight to the lounge. Both of us can get in as part of the rewards on our bank accounts and we intend to make full use of the free bar/snacks before boarding..... I'll probably then just sleep for the rest of the afternoon

! Only downside is that it's supposed to be smart casual so I'll have to leave my jeans and football shirt in bag for later.

Think that's near our posh hotel.... The nice part of Marseille! There is also a beach close by so hope the forecast is good. Might bring the speedos....

Try and not look at the source, but this is the best guide about. Maybe something we should do on this forum, thats if we remain in europe

Question is can you get the metro after the game? Seems like differing opinions on the redsaway site.

Also, should be easier for us as definitely not taking 3000.....!
