Wales v England Fan Zone

Fri May 13, 2016 7:44 am

Is anyone without tickets trying to get to the fan zone in Lens?

Obviously we been encouraged not to go due to Lens being "port talbot without the pubs". Apparently once the Fan Zone's 10,000 capacity is reached there will be nowhere to watch the game except a pub by the station which holds 60 people!

Would be great to know what other ticketless Welsh fans will be doing

this has got trouble written all over it - people will be drinking on the streets with no game to watch. A lot of us are not bothering if there no tickets about. EUFA have fooked this up mate - Lens was never a suitable place :evil:

I know mate, this game is one of the biggest f**k ups in euros history! Read on the BBC that Wales & England fans will not be segregated... What do they expect to happen!?

But going back to the fan park issue - you are completely right, there is no chance I want to be wandering round a French village with no pubs and no where to watch the game!

Have any fans made plans to do something in Lille? Or is everyone going to find the nearest bar and play it by ear?
