Great trip and would go again next year but the competition is ultimately pointless.



Highlights were HL's broken French to some un-suspecting Halifax fans and me beating the Irish landlord at darts for a pint in the Celt pub.



The sentiments of HL's liver are also reflected by my own.

HL's Franglais fun with the fax fan (Steve) was a classic especially because he'd been speaking to him the night before.



I'm looking forward to dude's Tom Daley imperssion.



The lowlight apart from the flight delay was you soaking my legs in the bog in the ground when you pressed that button,

Sorry about that...

Thank god it happened to somebody else i thought it was just me lol

Absolutely brilliant weekend despite the flight delay (I'd just said to Neil "at least I won't have to spend 8 hours in the airport like I did going to Perpignan", when the announcement was made - that'll teach me!) Interesting pricing policy in the taxis over there. 6 euros from our hotel to Chez Felix, about a 10 minute walk for me - and the same from Chez Felix to Stade Domec, probably two and a half times further! Nice touch by the landlord of Chez Felix to provide us all with a pint (or was it a litre) of Grimbergen before Saturday's game. Very nice with a massive lemon wedge. Honourable mentions to the landlady of the Celt for tuning into the Featherstone match on Sunday afternoon. Oh yes, and there was the small matter of the Eagles game. I thought it was a solid performance from our boys, given there were some changes to the team and some younger lads in there. It was always going to be a game of unknown quantaties and we handled it well I thought.

Then on Sunday, a trip to the old City was well worth it, to add a bit of culture to procedings. I could've spent all day and a lot of money in there. So, to sum up, the highlights; Chez Felix and the Celt for their hospitality and also the Carcassonne supporters and ground staff for the same, and Le Cite for the culture. Lowlights ; the 8 hour delay coming home and my dicky tummy on Saturday which came too close for comfort to stopping me going to ther natch. Maybe the large slice of Quiche Lorraine after 6 pints of Kilkenny the night before wasn't such a good idea!!

I missed 2 tries fetching a cone of chips and more beer - I was only gone 2 or 3 minutes but knew who'd scored because of the chants.



There were 3 women (Brighton and Birmingham) on the outgoing flight who saw the team and supporters and were curious so they went to the Tourist Info Office to find out where it was and also attended the game.



Avignon 2013 anyone?

Another lowlight was the fence around the pitch

It's fair to say that I am insanely jealous at reading this thread!

the others reckon you were hiding in the bogs !





went to the function thingy but only stayed for the free aperitifs - did you see the Catalan lads there ? ie:

Greenshields,Blanche etc ?



good concept for the game but the wrong time of year, in the LER off-season that is
