Lille vs Aston Villa - Conf League QF 2nd leg - pre match chatter

[VillaTim]

Everyone going have a brilliant time ! I'll be trying to find a pub Paddington area showing it, should be easier this time as doesn't clash with Liverpool game .

[Pat McMahon]

A few titbits from the LOSC Pre-Match email sent to 'home' fans. May be of use to some of you, ahem, home fans.

Stadium Doors open at 5.15pm. E-tickets to be printed on A4 paper.

There will be checkpoints where you'll have to show your tickets, particularly on the Allée de l'Université which is on the side where the Metro Line one stops are.

They are advising to get down early so you can get through the checkpoints.

At the ground food stands are colour-coded : blue for burgers and chips (€16), red for hot-dogs (€14), and black for Croc'Welsh (a sort of Welsh Rarebit toastie) (also €14).  You can scan QR codes around the stands, order online and collect in the dedicated queue.

Thanks BE.

Hopefully will get past security and be allowed to sit in with the home fans.

Croc Welsh ? Please just fuck off

Why be like that to BE?

I'm not a fan of Crocs either.

Let’s make sure we buck the current trend for English teams in Europe.

I was thinking the same. Looking at the broader picture, it's good for European football if an English team only wins one of the competitions.

Any particular team in mind Gary?

If I had to choose, maybe the one that would enable you to enjoy your game tomorrow even more.

Probably the biggest four days for the club in a long time.  Goes well and we are in a European semi-final and 6 points clear in 4th place. 

Got to be defensively solid from the off tomorrow night and I think we opened them up enough times at home to suggest we can get a lt least one goal out there.

Early start for me… On train from Sandwell and Dudley to Euston, then a quick trip under the channel to Lille. Semis here we come! UTV

It is a local specialty snack

It's just a simplified form of "croque" from the verb "croquer" which means sink your teeth into/munch. A bit like light to lite or chicken to chik.

But yeah, fuck off you frogs! SIXTEEN Euro for cheese on toast!

I went to a really nice restaurant in Oban last week (EE-USK on the harbour). Apart from the fresh local fish, seafood platters, langoustines etc. they had deep-fried Brie on the menu.
