David Shepherd Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) 9 hours ago, Hull Kingston Bronco said: Toulouse have at least 2 other home grounds in the city, it'll be fine. In fact, they're probably better suited to Championship rugby. Stade des Minimes is their long-term home hopefully it'll be there, it's got a great bar on a raised platform in one corner, nothing better than watching the match from there sat on a bar stool! Seem to remember Blagnac having something similar. Minimes would be ideal. 1/2 hour walk from Victor Hugo market area, where I'm staying.

That might well be me mixing the two up then, I've been to both and my memory isn't what it was 1 Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

the man Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) There are at least 150 going from Barrow with it being Bank Holiday weekend . Japan RU side are using the usual ground as a training base for the RUWC. I'm sure they could have stayed off the pitch for a couple of hours on a Saturday night Edited June 30 by the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Toulouse says they're going on a mini tour so probably play the games away from Toulouse. Japan have the ground for training purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft old hooker Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 The problem ultimately is Toulouse is a Rugby Union city and RL will always have to play second fiddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very large city where the two sports co-exist fairly easily besides when there is a union world cup on, which is once every 20 years. Glad to hear this mini drama has been sorted. 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.

The problem is not so much RU but being a low value tenant. Reflects poorly on TO to be have been taken by surprise by this. It's all a bit London Broncos and, like the Broncos, I assume this means a potential home semi-final for TO won't be at 'home'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUBRATS Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 You just know this is Union flexing their muscles , but it does highlight what many of us have said about Olympic in the past ( not criticising , just the situation they are in ) while they are in a huge city , their profile is very small , personally even in SL the big stadium is too big IMO , much like the Dragons atmosphere is paramount to building a support base , they could do with a 7/8 K facility ( if of course they manage to pip Fev again ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glossop saint Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The odd person must have a real anti-france bias if they are preferring to blame Toulouse instead of the evil union lot. That can't happen too often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Shepherd Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'd guess this is why primacy of tenancy is one the metrics IMG are measuring. It's an exceptional circumstance and as the junior club at the stadium, TO were always going to lose out if Kick n Clap flexed their muscles. The timing does make it all look a bit tin pot, but I'm willing to give TO the benefit of the doubt on when they knew. I prefer Blagnac anyway and I'm told Minimes is decent.

Just Browny Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 17 minutes ago, The Blues Ox said: This just shows why Toulouse should not be in SL. Presume this is trolling. The fact that Toulouse have options to move to at least two alternative stadia within the city makes part of the case for why they are an asset to the game (including to the Championship). I like Halifax but they hardly have an iron grip on the Shay. 3 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.
