Anybody booked yet? 

And, if so, how you doing it? Stansted-Toulouse? Manchester-Carcassonne? 

 

[AcombKnight]

Me and Steve going Manchester-Toulouse,Thursday to Monday.Think a few others are too 

[andyacko]

Didnt know Manchester-Toulouse was an option. Trouble is I cant do Thursday as I'll be on my way back from Fuerte.

It's Ryanair at silly o'clock in the morning, arriving late Monday night Andy. I'm going Heathrow like last year. Going Thursday, flight back Sunday.

Me and the better half are looking at doing a mini inter-railing adventure and doing a few days in both Toulouse and Barcelona and doing it all by train. I'm doing Amsterdam via Eurostar next week as well! 

[andyacko]

I'd love to do it by train, Gav but the Fuerte trip torpedoes that, and Heathrow too.

Looking like Manchester-Carcassonne for me.

[froggie]

I'll be doing Carpentras/Toulouse by car. It's a good 4 hours each way so I'll be staying overnight after the match.

Only Thursday flights to Toulouse and carcasonne from Manchester both very early morning. Coming back from Toulouse to Manchester is late Monday night but late afternoon on Sunday from carcasonne

Managed to persuade the family that our summer holiday could be built around this game. Ferry from Plymouth to Santander on Wednesday. Driving around the Pyrenees for a week with the ferry back from Bilbao to Portsmouth. Probably utter madness... but I can't wait to try it!

Friday night game not done you any favours Andy, you'll be running about like the proverbial fly for a couple of days.

TBH, I hadn't realised it was Friday. I'm sure I saw it as a Saturday game. Maybe they switched it?? Hmm, that makes it even more awkward...

Toulouse v York is on Saturday 23rd August. 

[andyacko]

Knights fixtures on website deffo says Friday, Gav ????

TOXIII website says Saturday 23rd.

Edited January 16 by andyacko

[andyacko]

As I understand it, the Knights are awaiting TO confirming the venue so it's TBC at the mo.

[StrennyKnight]

Knights website says '22nd TBC' but BBC, RFL and TO websites all saying Saturday 23rd I think. We did consider fitting the Saturday Catalan v Cas game into our trip if York was played on the Friday...

[andyacko]

I've spoken to Knights, as above, awaiting venue, date and time confirmation from Toulouse.
