That was Kenneth Edwards. He only arrived less than a week before the game. So he can only get better.

Stade de l'Épopée in Calais holds just over 12k, currently not in use after Calais RUFC went bust. Had a Women's WC soccer friendly there last September so of a decent standard.
2-3 minutes from the ferry port off the N216 and 7 minutes from the tunnel. If it was held there I'd deffo go, bring back a few duty free goodies whilst you're out there.

Stade de la Libération in Boulogne is bigger (15k) but has a running track around it however it does have standing as it's a much older stadium that was refurbished in 2007.

Not Kenneth Edwards then?

Why three exclamation marks? It’s not that alarming a news story.

However, it’s a good idea. The double header at Bolton is a great move and taking it to France one year is exactly the sort of thinking we should be going for.

You are correct. It is Kenneth Edwards. Correction has been made.

It could be Kenan, Kendall, Kendrick, Mackenzie, you had better contact the person to make absolutely sure.

Still another half to go but credit where credit is due, he really has turned things around at Cats.

Was thinking the same thing. I scoffed at his appointment but look at what he's done. From where they were in the table he's got them into the top 8 and safety, and now - barring a monumental collapse - they're in the cup final.

Steve McNamara definitely proved me wrong!

He has done a good job

I'm really pleased for McNamara. Some of the abuse he's received has been disgusting over the years, so it's nice to see him throw it back at them.

That's why he's a coach and his critics are not.

Such a fantastic coach! Viva la Stevie babe!! Catalans will be the colour at Wembley!!

I was laughed at when I said Catalans will be nowhere near the relegation battle and they will finish in the top 8. When I suggested Steve McNamara could be coach of the year some said I should be banned for trolling, where are those so called RL mostly Leigh fans now?

We'll just laugh at you for the rather confident suggestion you were going to win today then shall we.

Funny thing as well is that he seems like a descent bloke, very approachable and the opposite to some of the 'win at all costs' type. So I really can't fathom why some people have been overly harsh on him.

Anyway, well done Macca- proving that 'deeds not words' always shines through.

Do agree he comes across a decent guy. I always thought he just didn't have the right personality to be a coach at the top level.

Still though Trent Robinson speaks very highly of him and have no doubts Catalan asked him to give an honest opinion about McNamara before offering the job.

All the England players who worked under him speak highly also whenever they talk about his ability.

McNamara did a great job as England coach. Just look at the results he produced compared to the results in the years before he took over.

McNamara was scapegoated for Bradford’s demise, when in fact their financial problems had absolutely nothing to do with him, much like the global financial crisis is blamed on immigration or the Labour Party when it has nothing to do with those groups.

I have been McNamaras biggest critic but he has this Catalan team playing well.

I think he learned his trade a lot more from his spell at the Roosters. A higher calibre level than SL.

He would have learned a lot from Trent Robinson.

A fantastic result for McNamara and Catalan yesterday.
Blew Saints off the park and they fully deserve their spot in the final.

The turnaround in form after such an abysmal start to the season has been off the scale and on yesterdays form and with Bird back in the side, they could well be favourites to win.

He (McNamara) came in for plenty of stick and with their start to the SL campaign, it looked like the on line "experts" were right but, credit to him for spectacularly turning things around.

I watched Cats at Hudds a couple of months ago followed by them at Leeds. Possibly the 2 worst games I have ever seen. They are just not recognisable from those teams.

No problem holding my hands up and saying I was dead wrong. Mcnamara has done an amazing job.

Absolutely Jean.
