We are and I know several others too who are

wish i could be there but working afraid hope you all wear our colours.

Same here. One of the few weekend's of the year I couldn't commit to.. RICHARD LEWIS OUT !!

6 of us on the flight

Three of us going from Liverpool. Looks like we may need a 16-20 seater mini bus.

They are hammering Batley today, you are likely to be in for one hell of a game.

Ey-Up! Me and the wife have booked our flights but not hotels yet. Has anyone got any information for me? We are planning to stay two nights in Carcassonne and two nights in Toulouse.

10 of us flying from Bristol to Toulouse on thursday

see you all there.

Me. Going to watch a superleague game once in France though.

8 of us going from Bristol tommorrow, just finished the packing.

Seems more are leaving from Bristol than the borough of Leigh. Whats that all about?

Good value flights maybe ?

and were u staying???.........


5 ere and staying at the ibis

Westleyth airport does`nt do direct flights to Toulouse

which one are most people stayin in

IBIS for me.................. but not travelling with the club official trip

Whos mucked about with this thread this was entitled whos on the early morning flight Sat to Tolouse as we was trying to sort out a share of transport to the airport. Now it appears they ve all merged. Hmmm.

Which Ibis, the one near Blagnac airport?

we are going in the one facing the train station i believe its the one the official trip are staying in

We're in Ibis Toulouse Central on the (lazy buggers) official trip. Not sure whether that's near the train station or not.

For the ones going Thursday - on official trip.
What does "checked in baggage to be paid for at check in" mean ? I thought all was included, being a package and all.

Oh, that is the Ibis Matabiau. Very convenient for getting the bus from the airport right there. If there are only a couple of you that is the cheapest way to go. A larger group might be better off taking a taxi. Lots of French fast food nearby, and a nice litle restaurant around the corner. Also the baguette sandwich and cake shop around the corner is good for a quick fix. Internet cafe is about three blocks down the road (or was a year ago).

I don't know when Leigh play Toulouse and if any of you will wan to to go to see Catalans vs Salford on Saturday night (8pm?). But you just hop on the train from the station across the street and its about 2 and a half hours pleasant ride. However can't guarantee you will get a train back to Toulouse on Saturday night. There is a good Ibis in Perpignan Centre, about a half mile from the train station. But it could be already booked out with beer swigging Salford Red Devils. Another cheaper option is Balladins Hotel near the Perpigna train station. Ditto about the Red Devils though.

Carcassone has an Ibis. These hotels maintain the same 2 star clean quality everywhere in France Book it online if you can. Plenty of other hotels but I never stayed in them.

Bloody hell! I just found out that Toulouse vs Leigh is at 4 pm Saturday, and Catalans vs Salford is a 6 pm same day. You cannot attend both.

Very shortsighted planning by the RFL etc. They should have had them on different days so people could go to both. But to be honest the Catalans game could sell out. Last weekend the WIgan game was a sellout 9,400. Next year when the Gilbert Brutus Stadium renovation has been completed, the capacity will be 11,500 so it will be easier for English fans to get tickets.

Well, if you are interested both games are on the Orange TV network. So you need to organise beforehand a place to go, which has Orange TV subscription. I don't know if Ibis does. It will be fun after your game to see the Catalans thump the Red Devils.
