I drove past the Grizzlies ground yesterday on my way up to Toulouse and was surprised to see spectators in attendance! 

And was gutted that I wasn't amongst them.

It was the staff and dirigeants they said.

Good start for the Aude clubs. Carcassonne ran over the top of Albi unlike last year when the Tarn side had a couple of good Australians in Grant and Cook. The former a half back - one of the best overseas players in the competition. A good try on debut for the young Castleford lad Storey too. Up at Limoux a much closer encounter with sides level at the break. The yellow card to the St Esteve forward Chan seemed to turn things round late on for the hosts. It was the older of the Chan lads Tiaki here  the younger one 18 yr old Joe is in the Dragons group heading for Salford Monday.Their dad of course a Dragons legend. The reserve side look a younger group than previous seasons under new coach Justin Murphy. Looking forward to seeing the young French lads of St,Esteve in Carcassonne few weeks time but on Facebook or what ever, No fans here for the moment.

Went to Stade Albert Domec Friday to get my season ticket (70€) The club offices have re-located. When I first arrived here they had a shop just off Place Carnot in the centre of town and then moved to another place behind the railway station. The signage around now at Domec is all about the USC Pro 2 as you would expect. They’ve been there for ten years and are full-time professional. The stadium has been upgraded with a second grandstand with sponsors boxes and just recently new floodlights. The treize club house was still being having worked done on it but it looks pretty decent? Anyway the statue on the forecourt of the illustrious Puig Aubert still stands proud and tells it’s own story.

EXCELLENT 

Ready to get stuck in again soon Gordon my suggestion to the new president will be to do a LIVE YOU TUBE channel for at least 15/20 matches a year (No point trying to get a TV contract) YOU TUBE can do it and its not expensive.

Saw the Carcassonne mayor Gerard Larrat being interviewed during the interval at Stade Domec Saturday by the television people. At the same time somebody involved at the Carcassonne club read out a long list of sponsors for the game too. The fact that they can play this game against Albi without paying spectators unlike the situation for the semi-professional game across the Channel shows the funding difference. The town council own the stadium as well as funding the sports clubs who play in their facilities rugby (xiii,xv), handball, soccer et al. It’s interesting that the 3rd tier of rugby union involving a club like Narbonne are out of the picture, The government are only permitting I think the Top 14 and Pro 2 rugby unions competitions to run even though the 3rd tier is a mix of professional/semi professional. Good for the treize though.

Yes. I thought Nicolas Larrat did a decent job as Federation President. He certainly supported the Dragons in those early years. Didn't  the Federation pay half of the money to Canal Plus television for Catalans coverage early doors? He was the only President to see them play at Wembley too.

Hi Audios,

I was under the impression it was ALL of the money but maybe i am wrong it was a few years ago now.

I also think that Nicolas did a decent job being president of the FFR13 its not the easiest job in the world and many were hampered by the wonderful secretary general Philippe in Paris who has now finally retired:) 

Any news on the election all seems very quiet I look forward to having a positive relationship with whoever is the new president:)
