Just had a thought, it will be Leeds - Hull at 2:30 on BBC. hat time will that be over there???

Half 3, our game kicks off at 4 IIRC so won't be able to catch much of it (though I imagine they will have it on in t'clubhouse).

For those who are any good at French train timetables, are there any trains at 11-12ish in to Limoux from Carcassonne on matchday?

10-50am Carcassonne to Limoux arrives 11-17am April 17.

A word of warning regarding travel from Carcassonne to Limoux on the day. There are two trains; one at 10.50 and the next at 12.34; After that, there is a bus (also from the station) at 13.02 and that's it! The next train won't be until 16.12, which means you'll miss the first half if you're not careful. The journey takes about 30 minutes.

26 reservations for the bus back to Carcassonne so far. Keep them coming.

are we better buying our train tickets online or just pay on the day (the same for us getting from Toulouse to Carcassonne)

How good is this french side?Any players we have heard of?Should beat these by over 50 points i reckon.

they cant be bad as they have just qualified for their cup final for the second year in a row, bit of an unknown quantity who will have nothing to lose, could be a banana skin

Sometimes there are better deals if you buy in the UK for French trains. But these distances are so short it shouldn't make difference. Buying tickets at the station is dead easy.

Some trains though (the TGV for example) are reservation only so depends on which train you want to take.

2 more for the midnight coach please

Limoux are a top french 'Elite' club - i've seen them a couple of times this season (they still play in the winter months) and they've been pretty good and in a recent match against league leaders Lezignan was a cracker only losing by a couple of points in the last few minutes - it's difficult to judge but I would put them on the same sort of level as the upper part of Championship 1 - they played a pre-season friendly with Toulouse and were not disgraced - I would still be looking for your boys to rack up a decent score against them,I can't see any upset...

will we be playing in our 'away' kit????

Slightly o/t. Visting leythers will be able to converse with the locals about a popular ex Leigh player who starred for Limoux but who was it ?

a pink t-shirt for the winner ? two pink t shirts for each runner up?

Didn't Dave Ingram once have a spell in France?

scott grix

yep, i'll go for that as well.

Not sure I'll go for Seb Martins. PS don't need the shirt.

Our Dave posed this one a few days ago and I think it was Scott

You sure Frank. "Pink to make the boys wink." Might fit right in with that crew?

Didn't think it was Grix - before his time.Have we had two?

another question - which ex Bulls player and ex Rhino currently play in the same french first division side ?

Can i book on the midnight coach, when i eventually get there!!

thanks for that, what is the weather like at the moment???

Forecast for Saturday is 19C, and partly cloudy.

I have bookings from the following people for the bus back to Carcassonne from Limoux at midnight on Saturday. It looks like only 1 bus will be necessary (20 places still up for grabs).
The bus will leave from the centre of Limoux, 10 euros per person, at will drop off at several places in Carcassonne close to the hotels.
I will wait another 24 hours or so for final bookings and then confirm the bus reservation. So please book now if you intend to use the bus, it would be a shame to have to leave you to sleep on a bench!
