Thought i would start a topic about our away yrip to toulouse next month i asked in the club shop and they dont think they will get any away tickets so i would assume from that not many fans making the trip.Are there any specific pubs fans are meeting in is there a way to get from centre to the ground and back and does anybody know whats to visit around the area?

Think your best bet will be to contact David Foti (Foti with the Goatee ??) who has been running the Catalans trips on here for a few years and are now doing trips to Toulouse ?? https://www.to13tours.com/

Used him once from Liverpool to Girona and return 6 of us plus another party of about a dozen, top class service highly recommended, unfortunately when I tried to use him again because I was on my own and no other interest he advised me to hire a car, hopefully there will be enough interest to get you there.

Are there many on the forum venturing overseas for this or is our group of 4 it?

I know TRB and his Mrs have booked

Wouldn’t even if I could afford it but full admiration to those who do.

Last time I went was on my own in 2011, it cost me the thick end of £500 and that was before I'd even had a pint.

Toulouse as a place doesn't really have the appeal of Perpignan and it's nearby beaches to me.

Me and the hubby are going and taking our grandson. Know of 4 others going . Wish it was Perpignan although when Fev fans have gone they seem to have enjoy themselves

I haven't been for the rugby but Toulouse is a beautiful city.
Well worth the visit.

It’s not the place PT it’s what might happen on the pitch.

I stopped travelling ages ago, for me it’s not worth the upset and it doesn’t benefit the club.

Semi finals and finals are different, not that we are likely to experience one any time soon.

5 of us going.
Toulouse is a decent size city, plenty of pubs and bars and hopefully it will be decent weather
Flights (from Stanstead) were £35.00 return !

Bit disappointing that flights are only stansted or edinburgh so its a bit of a journey down but 4 of us going looking forward to it the hotels quite reasonable too as well as flights so bout £200 for four nights so cant grumble really not off the field anyway!!

The only thing is that Toulouse is a bit like Leeds, albeit a bit warmer.
Plenty of places to eat / drink though

There is always: Place de la Trinite, what a great name !

Speaking of toulouse they have signed corey norman, a quality player who will make them so much more dangerous

Decent enough player but I'd question if he is coming over for a holiday on the basis he was retiring from the game after having no desire to play anymore.

Toulouse are improving and one or two signings could help them to another few wins, lets hope they aren't against us.

I get the one or two signings will help them, but where are the signs that they are improving?

Take out their beating by Cas and their last 3 results have been close.

Losing by 8 to Catalan (away)
getting done in the last couple of minutes at KR to lose by 4
Beating Saints, albeit a weakened Saints line up

Also, lost by a single point to Wigan a few games back

Remembering that they didn't sign too many and then lost some players due to French vaccine restrictions, they are going ok and will certainly win some games, especially in France.

I'm certainly not tipping them for the play offs but, they may avoid the wooden spoon, which will be their only target for the season.

I know it affects us but I'd quite like them to win on Friday, just to send Leeds bottom.

Of course we need to win a few to stay safe but that's in our own control.

He’s been followed by a bit of trouble these last few years has that Norman, especially with the press. As WC26 says he might be coming over for a little pre retirement holiday, hope not though and he goes well for them.

I could live with that, if we managed a win as well

I know we have some issues of our own, but if I was a Leeds fan I would be genuinely worried with the disinterest that there players are showing throughout the team, the likes of Tetavano who has all the ability to be one of the top props in the league looks like a passenger and the worrying thing for them is it probably got worse when Agar left. I know they thumped us in that first half but they just don`t look like winning a game, it`s difficult to get across but even when they are in a game on the score board, they don`t ever look like winning it.

That and they also seem to be on the brink of crisis with injuries, If I was a Leeds fan I would be keeping everything crossed that this new coach can turn things around sharpish, they have a must win game this Friday yet a couple of supporters on there board seem to think they are ok regardless as we are in free fall, I hope there new coach doesn`t think that.

I don't like this fixture in that it has all the hall marks of us slipping up similar to visiting London !

Really?

Don’t think distance or destination gets in the way of this team slipping up. We slipped up at Fev in the friendlies.
