Talking to my lad who's hoping to get to Wolfsburg away. Reckon will be harder to get tickets as their stadium is smaller than Lille. Also Wolfsburg attendances close to capacity, whereas Lille seem well short.

Suggested he goes for Lille. Seems to be a few options for Lille. Direct buses from London Victoria Coach Station. Direct trains from Calais to Lille and then metro to ground. Also Lille not far from Belgium so flights via Charleroi a possibility. Wouldn't be a massive drive either with a stopover.

Anyone got travel plans already or been to Lille before and care to feedback. Thanks in advance.

The coaches are quite reasonable national express have european partner service called eurolines. paying 68 pound return london to lille. If you book trains in advance prices aren't too bad to london just depends what time you want to travel. i'm doing the overnight coach on wednesday night gets to lille really early thursday but I get to see the city a bit and have a few early beers. Hotels seem quite reasonable too paid 50 quid for a room for 2. Just hope our allocation is good and can get tickets in our end

{Ed025's Note - good luck sean...im sure you will have a great time mate..
