That's a very good point. I'd expect top notch scran in the Belgian league too.Any league fooball in Europe is always “worth a go”.

Wouldn’t stay it was top notch but a Bicky burger with beers in the sunshine among the Club fans before the match hit the spot.That's a very good point. I'd expect top notch scran in the Belgian league too.
Anatomy of a Burger. One of James Stewart's finest rolls (sic).Wouldn’t stay it was top notch but a Bicky burger with beers in the sunshine among the Club fans before the match hit the spot.
I'd say yes. I've been trying to do a couple of Belgian games for ages but never quite managed it. One problem is that like many countries they play games across the weekend but announce the actual dates quite late so it can be difficult to plan. But, as you say, it's pretty easy to get anywhere so if you are not particularly fussed about where you are going it should be straightforward. Tickets seem to be easy enough to get hold of. I think it was @BoroFur from off here who did a tour last season but he doesn't seem to be around much any more.Worth a go?
Will be there in August, looks like the season will have just started, so pondering whether to try and fit a game in.
Will be fairly handy for St Truiden, Genk and Standard Liege, but it's not like we'd have to travel too far to get to other games.

What constitutes high risk? Is crowd trouble much of a thing in Belgium?I went to a couple of games in September. One thing that you need to be aware of is that if a game is deemed to be 'high-risk' then they don't sell tickets on the day.
Here's a link to a game I went to in Brugge
I'm not sure. In this case it was just the teams involved. One from Bruges and one from Antwerp. Everyone I spoke to reckoned that Cercle didn't have a hooligan problem and that the concern was unfounded. There was no trouble at all but it may have been a different story had it been a Club, rather than Cercle, home fixture.What constitutes high risk? Is crowd trouble much of a thing in Belgium?
That's right it was BoroFur who did a Belgian football tour earlier this year. Always seemed a decent poster to me, think he must be bannedI'd say yes.
