Brighton v Le Harve or Paris SG ?

[Pretty pink fairy]

Was just thinking wouldn't it be a great idea if the club could organise a pre season friendly in Europe that was in easy reach for thousands of Albion fans to get to
Let's face it were never gonna play in Europa cup or champions league so what a great idea it would be to have a few thousand popping across the channel on ferries from Newhaven & Portsmouth to get to Le Harve plus the've got a brand new stadium nearly completed , or better still a friendly against Paris St German what a weekend that could be what do think NSC a good idea or am I talking out of my arse as usual

first time around was ok , just a glorified lash up, NOTHING FROM THE LOCALS, more tension on the ferry going over on the friday night

Paris would be superb, loads of bars and cafes around the Parc des Princes. Although I fear they will be playing most of their pre-season friendlies in Qatar for a while.

This. Le Havre would be a better shout, and not particularly hard to get to either.

Lille ?

Good grief, can you imagine the threads on here? 'Is Spain in Europe?', 'Do I need a passport to go to Europe?', 'Can I eat and drink in France?', 'Where's France?'...

A french tour with a tournament?

PSG, Le Havre, Brighton, Genk in a friendly tournament, have it at the AMEX one year.

Lille ?

Yes Lille would be good Lens not far away either

 

[dennis]

Ostend , Dunkirk & Boulogne all have pro teams. Ok the quality isn’t great but would all be doable day trips, which would probably suit all parties.

 

[Justice]

We could play Crawley, Burgess hill and Lewes for a change

Lille is a great town - I'd happily go & watch a match over there!

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Would much prefer a tour in Germany.

Any chance of finding some pics of inside Le Harve stadium now your not busy watching Felix Baumgartner

I'd forgotten about this...I'll try, but searching is disabled. Don't hold your breath...

This video is quite good. I had in mind that the concourses were pretty crappy. I might have changed my mind now.

Here's a picture of the inside. A bit too Cardiff, Leicester, Southampton for me.

Still, it looks very nice and I'd love to pop over there to see the Albion.

Thanks pogue
Looks a great stadium the ends are impressive better than our north & south and all looks so close to the pitch I bet it would create a very good atmosphere

Used to follow Rouen quite closely,historically the biggest club in Normandy,regulars in div 1 throughout the 70's

losing by the odd goal to Arsenal over 2 legs in the Fairs Cup

there nickname is the Red Devils

Sadly been well overtaken by Le Havre & Caen, a little like Pompey with us & Saints

I think you'd certainly find a reception commitee in Paris

Got a serious mob,any English in town would get there attenion

Even travel down to Marseille,by far the biggest game in French football

Then again,imagine only one team in London!
