Fantastic I also took a home made quiche from the brasserie back home with me on Saturday I asked them to make it for me the previous week. Problem with Col de Mantet (I have done it the other way a few times) is that horrible ski resort  Paul No, by the time I got back I needed to leave to get back to where I was staying. I’ll make sure I do stop next time as a friend highly recommended the food there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hela Wigmen Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yeah, most Saints fans stay in Spain when we play Catalans, where the beer is a couple of euros. In Perpignan it’s €5-7 a large beer so people come in for the day and then leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought that myself.  Seems Lezignan, Canaris & Avignon are the only teams who can afford decent ex pro’s.  That and another Team of potential pro’s (Esteve) plus VSL doesn’t make it a level playing field from a completion point of view. I haven’t included VSL either as they seemed to be all over the place last season.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audois Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 4 hours ago, Hela Wigmen said: Is Elite 1 on YouTube again this year? Hope so. One of the best things to have happened to the game in ages. Shame Palau pulled out after announcing Rodney Howe as coach and Ugo Perez from St Esteve. Perez who captained the Baby Dracs in 2021 played 5 games for the Dragons in 2017. I think he is employed by Bernard Guasch in his wholesale meat business so wants to stay local. He's talking about dropping down to Elite 2 from October with Pia interested. That would be a real plus because Pia should have a decent team this year. They were ready to go in 2020/1 but the plage saw that off. It is important though that the semi-pro competition remains competitive. The Aude and Catalonia are all right. The Avignon area have supplied the Catalans with the most players since their arrival of the Dragons. It would be good if Toulon showed up and competitive. Carpentras too would strengthen the Provence region.  "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?

barnyia Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 You do realise that the games on YouTube and Facebook probably had more viewers from overseas than in France! As I keep saying there a hardcore fan base that is sadly getting smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
