And that was the answer I gave. That's the last I have to say on an emotive and personal issue. 

You didn’t, but no further comment is not a bad idea mate.

Big day tomorrow, first game back at the moulin v limoux, starts with a catalans training session, then the official opening of the stand, u 19s game, first team game and fireworks and music to end it all. 

650 people coming to the pré match meal and free entry for everyone. The history story board at the side of the field has been updated too, 

[BJW]

Just as long as they're careful with the fireworks . . . . . 

 

Hope it's a great day for all and looking forward to seeing the restored ground later in the year.

You’ll certainly need a decent plumber in that case.

I find it remarkable that after the old stadium burnt down, that the new one is also built with wood?

[barnyia]

Building/insurance rules, the ground is in a flood zone so have to build like for like.

4,800 - superb. What’s their usual attendance Jean? 

[barnyia]

Depends on the opposition, used to be around that figure all the time, now it differs from a couple of hundred to a thousand,
