Lowdesert Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Some of these teams in the Federale are widespread. Travel distances are massive. Cheval Blanc are nearly in the Vosges. Must be an overnight for the St.Esteve 2nd team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLANTISMAN Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 9 teams is simply not enough in reality its 7 (As it includes Catalan/Toulouse reserve sides) needs 3 teams to step up long term 100% one from Provence + other teams that i mentioned before.

A friend of a friend is a young Italian lady who is a social media influencer/ model, from a farming family. Some of her income comes from being photographed with Lamborghini tractors - the same kind of photos that might have been used to sell sports cars in the past...

audois Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Gratentour in Elite 2 maybe for the first time looks good. The grand rise of TO in recent years has helped in the city for sure. Ramonville the other club in the suburbs too linking up. I think the idea is feeding into TO Elite 1. A top down process.

barnyia Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The green pass or pass sanitaire could have a massive effect on the teams in the lower division, either a test on the Tuesday and one on the Sunday to be able to train and play or be fully Vaccinated from 12 years old and upwards, Plus the tests will soon be no longer reimbursed.

Two years that have passed since their last French Cup Falcou title and their place as runner-up in the Federal. Two years that the club has worked tirelessly to build an ambitious project and find synergies between Toulouse clubs. The coming season will be one of solidarity and union for the “Mustangs” of Gratentour and its President, Lionel Touchet. The clubs in the Toulouse suburbs have understood this well. To revitalize the practice after two seasons without playing, the creation of “bridges” between the structures is essential. Both to maintain a level of quality but also to give players time to play in order to progress more quickly. This is the project that the clubs of Toulouse Olympique Élite, Gratentour and Ramonville have made, to strengthen their squads and also to provide a pool of players capable of evolving at the highest level. “We were lucky to find common ground with Ramonville, who in addition to being able to offer us a reserve team will also be able to complete the squad of elite 2 with some of their players who have the potential to evolve at this level. Elite 2 level has been lacking for several years in the Toulousain basin, the project to climb to Elite 2 is not an individual ambition of the Gratentour club, it is a project which aims to create communicating vessels between several levels, to develop the XIII rugby in the Toulouse region and allow each player to be able to develop at his level of play ”, confides Lionel Touchet, President of the“ Broncos ”. “This will allow Toulouse Olympique Élite to advance some of its juniors with us to see if they can evolve into elite 1. In addition, it will give a way out for young seniors who still need to get tough and to rebound in elite 2 before reaching elite 1 ”, book Lionel. A transversal system that will help return injuries and unsuccessful players at the next level to have playing time. “For Ramonville players who want to play elite 2, the door is wide open to them! We agreed in principle and found common ground without the club being deprived of its best elements every weekend. In addition, we will do the training together during the season with the Ramonville team. For home match days, we will ask the federation as much as possible to have the Gratentour and Ramonville teams play on the same dates. The goal is to raise the curtains as often as possible and to be able to attract more spectators during home matches. Something that we will try to set up also with the TO Elite with a raising and lowering of the curtains, why not? For this year the reserve team will be in federal, Jules-julien who has just put together a senior team will also play at the same level. Perhaps we can all work in the same direction during this season to hope to see from the 2022-2023 season an elite 1, elite 2, national and federal team with communicating vessels in the Toulouse basin. It is only by working hand in hand that we will be able to develop our sport! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
