We have been in to the office at Toulouse Olympique today to get tickets for the match.

Toulouse have arranged buses for supporters from the original ground (Stade de Minimes?) to the new ground on Saturday. The buses will lwave at 14:00, 14:30, and 15:00. We think they are free. To get to stade Minimes get the Metro to Barriere de Paris, walk across the m,ain road and we were told the gates to the gound will be open, the clubhouse is at the other end of the ground and you can walk through.

Match tickets are 20 euros seating and 10 euros standing. There are 4000 seats (2000 down each side of the ground), and 2000 standing although there is no terracing or banking, it is all flat.

After the game Toulouse have organised a Bodega. Apparently there is a bar here with a the possibility of a band also. After their post match meals, players from both teams will join the supporters.

Buses will return to Stade Minimes at 20:00, 20:30 and 21:00. As the Toulouse chairman said "This will give everybody the chance to have a good time".

Every body was extremely freindly and it was obvious that they want to create a sociable atmosphere.

By the way, we have been impressed with Toulouse as a city also, better than we expected, and the weather has been good also.

HOW DEAR IS IT THOUGH DO WE NEED TO BRING LOADS OF DOSH

Seems like Toulouse have made a very good effort here to ensure it's a enjoyable and a hassle free day for all supporters. Leigh Centurions take note

Thats going to get messy

Not too bad. Eight of us have just had a very good pizza/pasta/steak meal (not all on the same plate!) with drinks for 124 Euros.

making me jealous now enjoy.

Aye, it sounds like it could be a good trip. I hope the LSV take note and give supporters more reason to enjoy their day out on matchdays.

French waiters at the LSV anyone?

Depends wether they look like Gordon Kaye or Vikki Michelle

anyone out in france spotted their main man yet??


the one with the " mega " tash??

Yes, he was the chap we spoke with in the office, and a very freindly and enthusiastic chap he was to.

Carlos Zaluendo is his name!

Free buses for Leigh fans
In partnership with TISSEO, the Toulouse Olympique proposes buses for the Leigh fans. They will take the supporters from the Arnauné Stadium (on the car park of the Stadium - 107, avenue Frédéric Estèbe - Toulouse - stop ‘barrière de Paris’ on the line B of the subway) to the Ernest Argeles Stadium in Blagnac. Those buses are free.
Here is the time schedule :
- Departures from the Arnauné Stadium to the Ernest
Argeles Stadium: 2pm, 2.30pm, 3pm.
- Departures from the Ernest Argeles Stadium to the
Arnauné Stadium: 8pm, 8.30pm, 9pm.

About 600.

Blimey, they seem intent on keeping people in the stadium don't they! Hope they have more to entertain than there is at LSV!
