Just shout "Fanny" & I'll come & introduce myself, @mjpcafc !mjpcafc said:I've booked my place on the day coach (hopefully anyway; not actually had confirmation yet!).
I don't pretend to be as fanatical supporter as most on these boards, I haven't had a season ticket since I was a kid and now I live the other side of London I find it harder to get to matches. That said I've been boycotting for nearly two seasons now (only one away game in that time) and it's also frankly somewhat inconvenient for me to take all this time to go to Belgium, but being a little too young to appreciate what was going on in the Back To The Valley days, I feel this is important for me to attend to try and save the club which runs through generations of my family. I've been reduced to idly checking my BBC Sport app alerts when we go 1-0 down and sighing not only because we're losing, but also because I never thought I could feel so empty about it.
No one action will get this club back on track, but RD has stated he didn't like it when supporters disrupted his meal and we can protest in the car park as much as we want (I've attended a couple and then gone home, refusing to spend money at the club) but they are only effective up until a point, and I was there way back when Katrien laughed in our faces at the original 2% protest! I also have no further interest in littering the pitch with sponge toys, because that has had it's day now too.
Therefore it's things like this Belgium protest which are the only thing which I feel give us a chance of eventually the senile old fool might think it's more bother than it's worth and bugger off.
To those who say "whats the point" or worse, mock the protests, I think it beggars belief that we could have sunk so low and many people will not take action of some kind. Month after month our unhinged owner saddles us with debt as we spiral downwards through the leagues so I'm staggered at this mentality, personally.
I don't really know anyone from these boards in person, but I know I share a common cause which is the only thing that fills me with hope at the moment regarding my beloved club.
Onwards, to Belgium!

My train website seems to be calling Sint Truiden 'Sint Trond'. Is that right?0
-
I'd say yes, but I'm not 100%.

Ah yes, thanks. St Trond is the French.
I've had this problem before when I told my wife to get a train from Kortrijk and it was only at the last minute that she realised it was the same as Courtrai.0 -
Interesring you are getting the French there, Sint Truiden is a long way from France much closer to the Dutch and German borders and Flemish (basically a Dutch dialect) is by far and away the common language.0

It could be because I'm a clueless traveller. What's the best was to get from Hasselt to ST. Do I just go to the station and say 'Return to Sint Truiden please' or do I need to book somewhere.0

Thanks Neil0

Although it's also only about 20 mins drive from Liege, which is the French (Walloon) area of Belgium. Most big Belgian cities and towns have different names in Flemish and French. Liege for example is Luik in Flemish. If you are driving, and don't have a satnav, this can be a bit of a problem.Alwaysneil said:Interesring you are getting the French there, Sint Truiden is a long way from France much closer to the Dutch and German borders and Flemish (basically a Dutch dialect) is by far and away the common language.
Brussels Midi and Brussels Zuid are the same station.
Fortunately most people speak English and are very helpful and friendly.

Do you remember as a child, when your mum used to bake a cake and you used to ask if you could lick the spoon afterwards ??????Fanny Fanackapan said:I wonder how strong is Ratty's "dicky ticker" ?
Perhaps we should test it out next Saturday if he has the nerve to show his face.....
Something along the lines of the WARriors, semi clad & at their most alluring , bursting out of a huge cake & yelling "Surprise !" might do the trick ?
I'm game if you are @Arsenetatters ...
