Nice to get an international draw. No clue as to what Arras are like in terms of standard. Shame they scored at the death.

Their goals were top class. Not utterly convinced by us today, struggled to retain the ball and looked a bit one dimensional with no one really looking head and shoulders above anyone else

We are so poor!!!! The side struggled to do the basics today. It was an utter bore fest and I left 20 mins before the final whistle, heading backwards into town. Jack Richards sloppy in possession for their overhead kick equaliser, don't rate him for all his promise.
This side were Ryman premier at best but they troubled us on the wings and kept possession well.
One of the supporters coaches turned up mid way through the game, which must of felt utterly pointless with it probably leaving straight after.
Arras is a nice little town.

How many Arras fans were there? See one bloke with a drum, but were they pretty vocal?
Shame one of the coaches turned up late too!

The Itinery for the coach that was late was optimistic at best. Originally billed as a nice day out with time before the game and take it all in was rather a In and out job. Appreciate ferry was delayed but even then if it wasn't the time wouldn't of allowed for much. Still got about 50 quids of euros I didn't even have a chance to spend! Whoever booked the time constraints clearly hadn't done the trip or researched it much

Whoever booked the time constraints clearly hadn't done the trip or researched it much The itinerary is agreed with imusc and Brookline we originally wanted to use the tunnel unfortunately due this date being the busiest of the summer this wasn't possible, also at the time of booking we were restricted with the crossings available It's always difficult with departure times as some people think we leave too early some think we leave too late! We try and strike a balance and with the benefit of hindsight this seems to be a too late situation but the earlier crossing wasn't available and we didn't think we'd get the number leaving at 'silly o'clock' as there were already two coaches organised We were also late in sorting the coach as originally we weren't going to run one but bowed to the request from many to give it a go imusc have been running supporters coaches for a while now, this is the first where we haven't made kick off Apologies to those that were obviously disappointed but there are always reasons behind the decisions we make!

Dont beat yourself up over it Tim, you do a cracking job arranging coaches season after season so sooner or later one is bound to be late, at the end of the day these things happen.

What happened to the choir and drum? They were in fine fettle in Arras town centre but not a squeak at the ground.

The other two coaches left before 6 and our car about 7. Tim however did very well to put on the 3rd coach even if their was lack of interest.
I don't know what to make of the day, it was quite average compared to Calais. The stadia was pretty bad. I didn't even bother attempting the bar as I heard it was non alcoholic WTF? Many looked to have been nodding off through out the game.
I had many euros left over from Arras as I was looking to buy memorabilia and other junk but most of it when on booze. Even if you had time like us to walk around, the town was quite modern with designer outlets mostly, there was a massive historic cathedral where we were drinking.
Cuisine wise we settled for McDonalds.
Heard the post match interview and even Saunders wasn't positive about the visit but did confirm what we've all known all summer long is that we need another CB.

Wasn't a major dig, just a shame we couldn't spend more time there that's all, appreciate all the hard work that goes on to make it happen.
A CB is a must, josh hare wasn't that eye catching. Thought Willard looked handy when he came on, and Reason was good in parts but tried to do a but too much, that attempted back heel effort was rather amusing.
