Guys I am booking a stag do to Brussels in the first weekend of October and was planning on going to the anderlecht game, which is on their site as being at 8pm on the Saturday night (5th). However on the league site all the fixtures are down for the Thursday night. Can anyone help and let me know when the games are normally played?
Also is it fairly easy to get tickets for Anderlecht games?

I went to a couple of Europa League games a couple of years back when in Brussels. Easy to get there via the tram system and I just bought tickets from the Anderlecht ticket office at the stadium very easily. IIRC they ask for photo id when buying tickets. They normally play their league games on a Saturday night.

So a city with bars with over 100 beers to chose from. Some decent touristy things for those that way inclined and a night time game on the Saturday. On top of that, all in it worked out far cheaper than anywhere else £150 for flights and a room in the centre of town, in the Sheraton. Vs. £200 just for accommodation in a 2 star Hotel in Colgne. It was a no brainer!
Some advice on good places to go in Brussels for a drink would be appreciated?

Leuven is about an hour away on the bus and well worth a visit too. IIRC the last bus back at night is at about 2330.

Brussels is magic but the fascination over a wee laddie taking a whiz is a bit weird

The beer in Brussels is well priced and delicious but I was there through the week for the first time and found it a very odd city indeed. It's a complete dichotomy between affluent importance and absolute ****hole with nothing in between.
The central square next to the town hall etc is beautiful and there are some really nice, lively pubs around. Very easy to get to and get around in, including out to Anderlecht.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

The town centre is really nice, there is a pub near ish it called delirium(sp) that is really good.
If you want to see the city and learn a bit of history I'd recommend one of the free walking tours during the day.
Not sure about clubs as we just hit a couple bars while we were there, maybe some sort of pub crawl may be an option?Mon the Hibs.

sant gery is the best area for bars.
le bison (round the corner from o'reillys)
delerium cafe
le corbeau
a la mort subite
Leuven is worth a afternoon/day trip if your there for a few days(20 mins on train). Loads o bars round a square and student town.
Brussels is dodgy as don't go off track.

A la mort subite is a fine establishment, not sure its a stag do type venue though.
The bus suited me for Leuven as it stopped about 20yds from my Brussels hotel on Avenue Rogier (which is a predominatly a North African district of Brussels, the folk in the bars/cafes couldnae have been friendlier) and not much further from the action at the other end.Last edited by HUTCHYHIBBY; 24-06-2013 at 04:46 PM.

Further Info - A la mort subite
Some folk get a bit touchy about visiting "Irish" theme pubs, but, this is a decent place for a stag night to kick off with decent happy hour prices most of the day and plenty other bars close by, even if they are a bit touristy!
Celtica is near Bourse tram stop (see map on the link).Last edited by HUTCHYHIBBY; 24-06-2013 at 04:47 PM.
