PJ39 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi,I've traveled during the rugby World Cup and have been watching the matches on the crossings Newhaven/Dieppe with Transmanche Ferries, the atmosphere has been FANTASTIC, watching the game on their wide screens, drinking half price beer during their 'happy hours'.Now with England France coming up this weekend, why not make the most of it Im thinking, go over to France, spend the weekend, take the wife, send her shopping or something and then watch the unfolding events in. Paris will be the place to be Saturday, however Dieppe or Rouen I reckon will be good second choices for those on a tighter budget.Try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ39 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 So i hear re BF, it depends on where you are in UK and where you wanna go to as to which ferry you take. If you want to get to Paris then Dieppe is often the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 According to BBC SE News ALL ferry and tunnel crossings this Friday/Saturday are completely booked.We're travelling out the following weekend (Sat 20th) and could only get a tunnel crossing before 6.20am or after 3.00pm. Obviously a lot of people are expecting England to be playing in the final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 If you want to see the match on the ferry then avoid P&O on the Hull-Zeebrugge crossing. Travelled across on the Pride of Brugges last Saturday and was gutted to discover that they don't have their systems tuned into ITV (or TF1) and therefore we saw none of the France-NZ match.rgdsHagar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ39 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 When I spoke to Transmanche recently, they seemed to have space available (although limited cabins ) Newhaven / Dieppe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
