JonM Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 17 hours ago, Just Browny said: Glad to hear this mini drama has been sorted. Widnes fans this week have had transport disrupted by strikes, weather problems, police shooting teenagers dead etc. and yet people somehow manage to take different flights, or use trains, hire cars or even buses. Toulouse is a big city in a country with superb transport infrastructure. Getting to Albi or Carcassonne is hardly difficult if that's where these games end up being rather than Blagnac. Minimes is used by the Elite 1 side, but I'm not sure it'd cope with a couple of thousand paying spectators - it's more of a community sports facility than a stadium now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seriously hope everyone enjoys the trip. 2 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

I'm not sure what is happening to be honest as looking at the matches in Toulouse for the WC, they only start 10th September so the Featherstone match should really be the only one truly affected. As it's Stade Toulousaine that have the final say, then all I can think of that the Japanese team get priority over the whole of the stadium from Mid-August, which is a bit ###### to be honest.

Daft old hooker Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Fev will more than likely finish top unfortunately that doesn’t win you promotion, which by the way is wrong the best team over the full season should be promoted, but we will have to wait and see on the playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree and enjoyed going to the 2 finals we got to but it should be the curtain raiser not put to the back of the queue when 90% of fans will have gone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair for whichever teams do get there their fans probably couldn't be bothered whether it was first or last and will likely just be happy to get the chance to see their team play at Wembley.

Cw25 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Fans don't watch more than one game at a stadium anyway. Finals, bash, magic. When I have been, it's the lot for me !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were as a curtain raiser then for me personally I might not stay and watch the CC final if it had a team in there that I don't care for like Cats or Hull where as if its the last game on then I would likely take in the CC final as well so a little bit swings and roundabouts for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see your point, we stayed for both main finals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUBRATS Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Fev obviously clear and not being caught , the MPG/CGF will be at Post Office Rd Who they play ? , Still work for Toulouse to do to collect home advantage My prediction A very nervous Fev to sneak a very close final win over Toulouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been excellent since Dunning left. The one match they did lose was against Toulouse. That sort of backs your prediction up tbh. I rate Bulls. Look at just their try scorers alone today, Quality.
