Just a note to anyone who isn't sure about cost at such short notice. I've just booked a flight from Manchester to Marseille at 0720 for £32 on the morning of the game. It's about two and a half hours to Nice on the train, really nice route along the coast past Cannes, I did it in the summer for England. Hotel is £43 right next to train station in Nice. Flight back early pm on the Thursday from Marseille to Manchester via Brussels for £93. Train from Marseille to Nice is about £50 return. I'm happy for someone to join me on this and go halves on the room. Not much of a saving I know but I know the route in case anyone isn't sure about travelling alone.
Bloody hell, I missed that one, soddin' Skyscanner, cheaper and a day less than I am doing. I might take you up on the offer of the hotel room though, I will get back to you once I know times etc cheers.
