Number 16 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 In Toulouse on 30 May, apparently! Catalan v Leeds Toulouse v London If correct, it'll be some weekend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdd Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Should be a great event. My only gripe would be that they should have picked a team with decent away support to play Toulouse. Bradford would have been great. Would created a better atmosphere in the ground and make it feel like a bigger event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Stein Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It could be that only London are willing to accept changing a neutral venue into an away game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it will effectively be going head-to-head with Summer Bash, there was no chance one of the more well-supported clubs would have been going.

I couldn't care less to be honest but it does raise the question around participation at these types of event. If it's optional it sets a potentially dangerous precedent.

kiwis 13 6 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This is a forward thinking idea as Toulouse and London between them would bring only 200 fans to the Summer Bash. Toulouse gets to be part of an event held in Toulouse that will draw decent crowd at the new stadium. For once this sport has done the best thing for the sport. Summer Bash still has all sides from relatively nearby in the north of England attending who draw 99% of the crowd to this event anyway so it wont impact crowd numbers much if at all.

Oliver Clothesoff Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Not sure the point of the Bash, so it makes perfect sense for the French to throw a double header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubby Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Perhaps the idea of having 3 big city teams as part of the double header is the concept they want to market to potential sponsors and new fans? It is a lot easier to understand than Castleford and Swinton (with respect to both those clubs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audois Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Doubling up a double header on two iconic rugby grounds. Bernard Sarrazain, Gary Hetherington and Bernard Guasch stand up - not forgetting too Stade Touloulsain boss Didier Lacroix. Should be two great occaisons. "It involves matters much greater than drafting the new rules...the original and existing games have their own powerful appeal to their players and public and have the sentiments which history inspires" - Harold 'Jersey' Flegg 1933 "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart." - Jean Roque, Calendrier-revue du Racing-Club Albigeois, 1958-1959 Si tu( Remi Casty) devais envoyer un fax au Président Guasch?
