We used to go to the Ostend Beer festival by coach in the 90s. But we went Dover to Calais. 12 hours from Leaving Burnley with a stop at a French Beer market.
I presume you went overnight?

Would’ve been up for the Genk game but I’m working on the Sunday night. Could’ve treated my Dad for his 75th birthday. Gutted! To those going, have a great time. UTC.

I assume we're bringing back like three players or something like when you nip around the shop for some milk and you see some, I dunno, fancy crisps or summat and you're like hmm think I'll treat myself and now we've got another centre mid and a winger...right? That's why we're going Belgium really.

Is that to Brussels? Getting into Holland and getting the train down would be doable.

Train looks like 4 hours from Eindhoven unless I’m missing something.
Maastricht is the closest airport but no one flys there from the UK.
