Travel to Paris for the final

This is cheeky but I suppose it wont hurt to ask.....now we are in The Final, anyone know if any lads/lasses are driving to Paris and have room for two more?

If anyone hears anything of the sort, can you please let me know. Obviously me and Crouchie would chip in with the expenses.

We booked our flights today, get the fuckkk innnnnn but Crouchie couldn't get all the leave so he is only doing Paris and back to Liverpool for a few days, I plan to spend 5 days in Liverpool before heading to Paris with him then back to Liverpool, then we fly home same day.

Hope we can all catch up together for a few bevvies and things!!!

I'm not even sure what the covid rules etc are for travelling to France are these days!  I'm sure its not as bad as it was.

I reckon some kind of coach deal/minibus or something is going to be the way forward.   I'd imagine flights have gone and trains would be even more of a ballache?

Update: 

All flights Booked

Depart Melb Sat 20th, Arrive Manchester (spit) hehehe same night ...then get to Hotel in Liverpool (trying to sort out first 3 days as breaking up Hotel stays, as 6 days works out expensive as F**k coupled with no availability, but if I do it in 2 blocks of 3, works out cheaper.

so 20-23 May looking for a Hotel

 23-26 May staying at The Arc Hotel  95 Anfield Rd, Anfield...looks close to the stadium.

Then I need to get to Manchester on the 26th Morning to meet Crouchie at the airport

few hours later flying to Amsterdam , then we have 2 hours in Amsterdam to get to Train station ( time for a spliff or 3 hehheheh) then get on a train from Amsterdam to Paris...worked out much cheaper then anything else, so we are wrapped.

Get into Paris 26th night, stay for the final, train next morning From Paris straight back to Liverpool for hopefully a massive parade, then 3 more days before we both fly out back home. Me and Crouchie both on same flight home.

So two issues left to sort

First 3 days trying still to sort a Hotel

and secondly, when I go to Paris, don't want to take my suitcase as they want an extra $130 AUD  for it.  Would someone please be kind enough to just keep my suitcase at yout place... I will find a way to drop it off and pick it up OR could someone point me in the right direction of where I could put my suitcase in safe and secure storage for 3 days, whilst I go to Paris with a small back pack?

Thanks for reading, I hope I haven't bored you all.

Looking forward to catching up with as many of you as possible.

Hotels in Liverpool, depends on your budget I guess but Days Inn down by the docks I’d imagine would be reasonable price. Avoid the Adelphi, never stayed there myself but heard bad things about it. There’s the Shankly Hotel which is only a short drive away from Anfield if you jump in an Uber.
Plenty of hotels to choose from really, generally around the same sort of price I’d imagine

Thanks mate but everything is coming up as fully booked!! don't know why...for 20-23rd...4 nights ...so in pounds....something around the 120-150 pound mark per night. $200AUD = 115 pounds ....I'd be happy with somewhere around that price, not sure anything available tho. Wife still searching for me but will mention those 2 mate. Cheers

Can't wait Bud, so nice seeing you and Diego and that random lad    on Facetime mate. Can't wait to get over there now.

No idea what the flight and ferry situations are from the uk, am sure it’s expensive. I had a look at accommodation in Paris but I can’t justify the price and it’s an expensive time.

For anyone that is looking at travel routes, you can get a relatively cheap ferry to France from jersey and the train to Paris from Cherbourg or St Malo (the ferry goes to both), both of which were cheap when I looked, not sure how many people would be taking that specific route so costs should stay down. Condor who run the ferries though aren’t the most reliable, often they have cancellations.

Can get the easyJet from John Lennon to jersey which is normally about 30 quid each way.

Just mentioning it for anyone who is looking at travel costs etc!

See you soon Ian lad

Not if some manc fcuker drives him to Old Trafford first.

In all seriousness though travelling around the world to see your beloved lot!! play and pick up what could be 3 or 4 trophies I take my hat off to you. Not many do that. 10 out of Aussie la

Trust me I’m not being nice to you just the truth about the distance your travelling to see your lot! In the flesh.

You’ll always be a Aussie Cnut in my book. 

got to be humbled by the Liverpool fans dedication and efforts to support the lads.  Even /Jürgen commented on the price of hotels in Paris the rip off capital of Europe.

Wow, impressive.  I'm looking to do similar from USA.  But maybe without Amsterdam....  I think I have found accommodation very cheap north of the city.

Hey Lads,
I support the team since the age of 14, even if I lived in Morocco, where everybody watches spanish football.
But my best friend, who is a gunner, was pushing me to watch some games with him. So I did, and after Istanbul I couldnt stop my self of being red ^^ and our dream since then is to watch a game of LIVARS in the road.
Now I live in Paris, But unfortunately I will not be here in the final's weekend So being jobless in this period, I was hoping to rent my flat to a fan!
Don't hesitate to write to me,
Cheers!

Be in City Friday night, ready to rock and roll Saturday morning.

Hope I can meet some peeps for coffee to star my day!

Have nothing but admiration for the likes of AussieRed and Crouchie for making the journey over. When I told my missus that there are a couple of lads flying in from Melbourne (and that is only the first part of the journey) for the final she couldn't believe it and asked if they have wives

Yeah I take my hat off to the Aussie tw@t    Don’t tell him though.   

If anyone can get me an official program from the match. It will be greatly appreciated. Send me your PayPal info and I'll pay for the program and I'll even throw in some extra for a few pints on me!

Thanks to our Resident Manc, Keith for going out of his way, picking me up at the Airport and driving me to my Hotel in Liverpool. Legend status!

Pleasure was all mine mate. Hope you have a great time and best of luck bringing old big ears back with you.

That's a long time! Granted you live in Oz I guess. Go check out the murals whilst you're there, look even more impressive seeing them for real.

Head to Anfield for Sunday's game too. Might get lucky and get a ticket but if not, the atmosphere around the place is boss still.

And good on you Keith on getting him to his hotel! Sound lads the both of you

Hi ya mate

anyone out and about in Liverpool city centre today?

Not sure what I’m gonna do. Just head in there and see what happens I guess

Haven’t got a plan

If you're down by the docks mate, I'd suggest going for a walk along the waterfront up towards Otterspool Park so you can see why the Mersey is the most gorgeous stretch of water anywhere in the world. Also within walking distance (if you fancy climbing up Parli) you've got our two Cathedrals, LIPA (Beatles connections), The Phil, Hope St Hotel where our boys tend to stay and the Everyman if you fancy taking in a show - that's all along Hope St.

If you turn right, instead of left, at the lights after the roundabout then you enter the magical world of Toxteth where you'll see our library and then our street. Carry on a bit further up Windsor St and you'll see where Robbie Fowler grew up, went to school and where he plied his trade as a kid - although the astro itself is now a fire station.

There's a mural of Jürgen along Jamaica Street as well mate, which is just round the corner from where you're staying. (I think there's one of Stephen Hawkins halfway up Parli as well)

The place you're staying as well mate, is about five minutes down the road from where the Green family will be standing for the homecoming. We plan on being around the Liverpool One bus station again just like we where in 2019.
