I have no memory of that, therefore it never happened.

ESO seems to have the best trip as he is incorporating Perpignan and Spain too. Perpignan is very different from Toulouse as it's smaller and has a more laid back feel.

I made that trip as part of a holiday to Barcelona and made the transfer from there by "Frog Bus" which you get from Gerona.
The only downside was the waiting from when the Barcelona bus drops you off at Gerona Airport and the Frog Bus leaving. The Frog Bus isn't that busy in summer and is mainly for the skiers.

I'd definitely recommend a visit to Perpignan - we chose Harlequins simply because (no disrespect) that they would have less fans there than say Leeds and therefore more spare hotel beds.

There is a nice seaside town with a great beach called Canet Plage which is about 25 minutes away which can be reached by local bus. There are other places too which I was told are even better but time was a little too tight.

You can also get to the stadium by bus but if the game is switched to Sunday then it's hard to get back as buses stop quite early. The best bet in that case is to walk to the local hospital where you are likely to be able to get a taxi.

Bearing this in mind what about the supporters club borrowing First Mainline double decker bus and driving all the way down to the South of France?

“No more working for a week or two”

A first mainline bus, you must be joking, half of those clapped out rustheaps struggle to get to Totley, never mind Toulouse!!

What time does it kick off?I'm getting excited and im not even going? Tolouse sausage and Jaipur on the garden for me, in the

Anyway of getting any commentary or live stream?Was there any point in asking previous.

I was waiting for this but agree entirely - same on my route too.
Coupled with the potholes I usually end up feeling sick before I get to the pub.

That's after a 30 minute wait because one has misses out

Kick off is 19:00 local time, so 18:00 UK time. As for commentry - try this wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... ge_id=1514 (hope your French is of a good standard!)

I heard its going to snow on Saturday, and Sheffield will lose by 40, not that I'm bitter or anything about not going!

Yer but look at the wind factor on saturday compared to Thursday! 35 degrees and 1mph wind. Good Luck!

What kind of Beer?

Is Simon Brown eligible to play

I believe so, although I guess it depends if the plane's full or not!

We can take 19 players - or rather, that's what the RFL pay for. It will depend on whether we can get the flight paperwork amended - if he's selected, of course.

Groom for Brown,£50 to change the name.That's if Groom was originally going!!!

Or he could sit on ESOs knee

Could i possibly take over as caretaker moderator for the weekend as everyone is away in europe

It would be an honour and a privelidge,If i am allowed i would like to add a couple of members to my backroom staff Starting off with my assistant Brummie Eagle.

Looks like Menzie will be on the plane www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplin ... hp?id=2074

Good idea Mr Eagleblade! They will all come back and find themselves banned if they tell us how great the trip was!

Well, what a trip! Where to start? Arrived on Friday afternoon after a mammoth 8 hour drive from Caen, met up with 6 or 7 other Eagles fans who were staying in our hotel including Eagleblade's folks. We then headed off to the square for a few drinks and a bite to eat before retiring to bed about 11.30 very tired.

Woke up Saturday and went to the square for a very nice breakfast. On Saturday afternoon we again met up with Mr and Mrs Eagleblade snr for a few drinks by the river. Got talking to a Wigan fan who had stayed over from their game in Perpignan the previous week who naively asked if he would be able to "pay on the gate"

we told him that a sell out was improbable to say the least. We then went on a boat trip across the river and down the canal where we were joined by some more Eagles fans including Mr and Mrs Airborne Eagle. After that we met back up in our hotel to get on the metro for the game.

We stepped off the metro and headed to the fag and lettuce where we met up with virtually all the Eagles fans including an already very merry Dr Badvibes and Hillsborough Lad. We headed to the ground about 6pm where I obtained a picture with Toulouse Olympique legend Carlos and his famous moustache. We all then gathered over the far side of the ground and got ready for kick off. On to the game.

I didn't think we had a prayer in that heat, I really didn't. 35c at kick off. However, 1 to 17 we were outstanding, haven't been able to say that many times this season. Simon Brown had an awesome debut and the Tangi we all knew and loved was back. I won't do an in depth report on the game because to be honest I was already pretty wiped, one thing I will say though is that Airborne Eagle's kazoos are now about as popular as the dreaded vuvuzela

.

After the game we all had a few drinks with the players in the bar round the back of the ground where there were photo opportunities aplenty. I even got one with the man himself, Mr Robert Hicks

. The players then got back on the coach and we caught the metro back to the city centre where I seem to remember singing a rendition of 'Mysterious Girl' to an unsuspecting Peter Andre lookalike

. We then ended up in an Italian for more drinks and a bite to eat. Their lack of garlic bread caused uproar amongst the English in attendance. Stumbled back to the hotel before waking up this morning, getting some breakfast and heading for Spain. Currently sat on the apartment balcony where it's pleasant in the shade at least

.


All in all, one hell of a trip. Eyebrows were raised at Toulouse's inclusion in to the Championship but I think everyone who went either last year or this will agree that it was a good decision by the powers that be. All the players came straight over at the end of the game too to say thankyou for our support, which was incredible. Best I've ever heard at an away game. Also, did I mention that Hillsborough Lad went over the hoardings? Again?

. The general concensus was that it was on a par with last year's trip which I unfortunately missed. I'd reccomend it to anyone though.

I think HL will be going for the hat-trick of falling over the hoarding next season,I'm going next year,So theres a chance!!!!!
