Bruges away anyone?

To the game or Belgium?

Mate who is a United fan says it's the worst away he's done (for the game). He got a taxi to the ground but then had to walk for an hour in the rain to find the away entrance. No buses or taxis back after the game so it's a 45 min walk back to the centre. Police are actively unhelpful.

Oh and the roof only covers a third of the away end.
I was about to post exactly the same thing as United played at Bruges in the Europa League, just before the original lockdown. We were in Amsterdam and Brussels around the same period, and every United fan I met confirmed that Bruges was their worst football experience in a long time.
 
Advice regarding the double jabbed status is all confusing and contradictory. I can't work out if my 16 year old son can go. He's been singled jabbed and currently under 18s are not getting a second jab. Consequently he gets ruled out of all these double jabbed requirements. I'm planning on going via France and entry requirements for there are clear and he can have the status of my double jabs. Belgium not so clear and will the NHS two day Barcode suffice? Anyone else in a similar situation?
My lad 16 to and he didn't come Paris with me cos even the trip said you had to be double vaccinated and he ain't so he missed out. Then when I get to the airport there's young ones there similar age and younger. So he should be ok and anyway too late if not cos I booked me and him on day trip this morning. Good luck mate.
 
All booked. Tickets, train to London, Eurostar and overnight stays.
Quite a bit cheaper than the official day trip.

Tip for Eurostar users. Your Eurostar ticket will get you to any station in Belgium for an extra £20 - covering both ways.
 
To Belgium....I dont think I will care about the weather by that stage. :)
Looks like you could do Manchester to Charleroi flight (Ryanair) early Monday AM (£20), flight from Amsterdam to Manchester 10am Wednesday (£40). We're the early game so it can be done, but if you dont think its feasible to get to Amsterdam for the early flight there is one in the evening into Liverpool for £20 - both of those with Easyjet.
 
Charleroi Airport is very small so you should get through customs quickly.
Flights to Manchester on the Wednesday sold out.
