Eindhoven
Getting
there
The most convenient way of getting there is to fly from
Leeds-Bradford to Amsterdam with
Jet2 (2 flights a day) or
KLM 3 flights a day).
It's about an hour and a half from Schiphol to Eindhoven on the train. Click

for train times and fares. Another flight option is Stansted to Eindhoven with
Ryanair.
An alternative to flying is the ferry from Hull to Rotterdam. You leave at 9 on Wednesday evening and dock at 8 next morning. The ferry back is at 9 on Friday, arriving back at Hull around 8 on Saturday morning. The ferry cost is about 80 quid based on 4 sharing an outside cabin. At the other end you'd get the connecting bus to Rotterdam station, then it's about an hour and 20 mins to Eindhoven by train. Alternatively you could take a car over for only 50 quid extra.

The best place for pre- and apres-football is apparently Stratumseind (slightly
below and left of centre of
map) where there's more than 40 bars and various eating places. Carry on
past the bottom of Stratumseind and you get to Stratumsedijk, which is where the
Royal Hotel
is (no 23b).
Ground
The Philips Stadium is a ten minute walk distance from the
station and town centre (map).
You can get the number 16 bus (direction Veldhoven Zonderwijk) or the 17
(direction Veldhoven 't Look), getting off at Mathildelaan. The ground is famous
for being heated.
