Can anyone suggest the best modes of transport for the independent travellers?

Choices...

1) Car via Dover-Calais or ,slightly closer,Dover -Dunkirk. St Truiden is approx. 2.5 hours from Calais.
2) Eurostar to Brussels, then connecting train to St Truiden (ground is 5 min walk from station,as is main square where the March will commence)
3) Fly to Brussels from LCY or Gatwick (many options) then catch train to ST

This is what i have been protesting and working towards for almost two years now - like many others. This is the opportunity we have been working for, another chance may not come around. The time is now!

Duchatelet does not enjoy being shown up in his home town. YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU!

Don't do yourself any damage @cafckev

This is important, but not more important than your health.

Once you have your Eurostar ticket to Brussels, you don't need to pay any more to get to S-T (and back)

What time should we aim to be in S-T?

Microsoft are working on it, but for the time being you definitely won't be able to email yourself there.

At least I should be out of hospital in time to read updates on Charlton Life, but would prefer to be in Belgium :-(

Will the Sint Truiden fans be involved with this?
Great chance to get them along too if they're at home!

For anyone in North West. Ryanair £10 early sat 4 March from Manchester. Return same Mon 6th.

Looks like Eurostar do group deals for 10 or more travellers. Personally will go Eurostar, is this the place to see if we can get a group together for a discount?

I don't know what St Truiden is like for pubs/entertainment but has anyone considered staying in Leuven 30 minutes by train? A university town so buzzing, a few things to see and great bars.

City or Gatwick, my old van wouldn't get me there and I don't have any friends that would give me lift.

Remember though thats going to flying into Charleroi Airport (Brussels South) rather than Brussels itself.

Get off me maggot then!

"We have chosen this date for many reasons, one of which is that we know Charlton’s away allocation at Northampton Town that day is very likely to sell out regardless. There can therefore be no sensible claim that the protest is affecting the level of support for the team.

No sensible claim, but I expect we will hear some nonsense spouted about how CARD are sabotaging the promotion push :-)

Afraid you are right, they are all from Heathrow.

Eurostar ? From Ebbsfleet?
