I wonder if they will be under the same constraints as TO if accepted i.e.  paying transport costs of visiting teams.

Dusts off french phrase book bought for world cup.

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Great news

[Midlands hobo]

So flights Birmingham to ...? I'm guessing Barcelona then the train would be cheapest. Or Bristow to Bordeaux then train.

Definitely a holiday to be worked into this

What is the end goal? Unless it is to be a SL club it seems pretty pointless and detrimental to the French game.

I'm all for French clubs in SL but adding teams needs to be properly planned and SL must be willing to expand to 3 French clubs, if such an event transpires.  If that is a real possibility then great.

It's another semi pro team spreading the development of the game in the area taking away from the RAH RAHS.

Great idea if only we could rustle up a Dutch L1 team too.

Didn't see the option only from Stansted. 

[Coggo]

Why?

How is it better than Elite 1?

What would be their grading?

[dboy]

Birmingham to Stansted is only 2 hours by either road or train.

Yea but the airport parking etc adds to the cost. Brum airport I can get a lift free. Don't get me wrong it's an option.

National Express = Birmingham to Stansted coach from £27.10

Carcassonne is a lovely little city to visit.

Far better than Toulouse or Perpignan.

....and, currently the top team in Elite 1.

 

[ATLANTISMAN]

I have mixed feelings about this better they stay in Elite 1 and we have a good  Anglo/French cup .

If they go expect 

Lezignan 

Limoux

Albi

To follow suit

Think I flew from Liverpool to Carcassonne twice in 2000s for RL games but no idea what the options are in the current climate.

Stansted only, it seems.

[Winstonswhite]

Ryanair fly from Manchester, East Midlands and Stansted, but obviously only on certain days. 

[Midlands hobo]

And at 3* the advertised price if you want basics like windows a seatbelt or the plane to actually stop before you're thrown out

[binosh]

Great.

It is interesting that this doesn't appear to out people off.
