Advice for fans attending England v Russia

Posted by Team England at 16:21 on Saturday 11 June 2016

The French police are offering all English supporters the opportunity of an escorted walk up to the stadium from the Old Port area.

The walk will commence shortly after 18.00 and supporters must gather in Rue de la Canabiere which is the main street opposite the big wheel. It will take approximately 35 minutes to walk to the stadium.

Whether taking this opportunity or not, supporters are encouraged to get to the stadium early as security search and entry procedures will be strict. Gates open at 18.00.

Supporters are recommended to consider this option.

    I'm guessing the strict security searches were only for England fans then.

    Shame they didn't have such a detailed approach in the ground

    Not shutting down the port area Metro stations and cancelling trams would have helped a lot of fans to get there quicker and easier without walking the gauntlet towards the stadium.

    We got there early and had bags taken off us, only to walk in and find people with bags all around us. Why such a discrepancy in security?!
