I've not been to Perpignan but I'm guessing the Aime Giral isn't too far to disrupt people's plans too much?'"

Can't justify spending that sort of money on one match when I'm trying to save.

Although I haven't missed the irony in you calling me old

Thats a relief, I thought you meant either day or city!

I may have deliberately left the title a little ambigous

Did I hear you say we should maybe, after all, nominate Kev to review in depth and report back comprehensively on the [iModel Rules[/i...?

I think so! Mind you, on the strength of this thread if we leave Kev to read the rules and pick out the headline points, god knows what we'll get! I'm just about to embark on all 12,449 words of them, who says being on the board is all work and no play eh?

More like Kev would insist on some additional clauses to ensure we funded referee development (or maybe shooting), judging by his observations on the officials tonight...

And I'm tackling the 12,449 words (did you really run a wordcount across the bloody thing...?) tomorrow...I'm sleepy enough as it is tonight without needing some assistance in nodding off...

It's in the statusbar of Word on the Mac by default!

Do you get the impression this thread has gone somewhat off-topic?

It didn't make me jump because I'd already read the story on the BBC and I came here to see if anyone had posted it.
The USAP ground is ok apart from the toilets which are truly awful. it's slightly closer to Perpignan centre than the other one and CST will no doubt be running the usual busses anyway.

I suddenly appear to be coming down with some rare eye infection. I'm lsoing my sihgt as I tpye....

That's ok, as a responsible board member of the trust I expect you've already read the rules?

The best thing about the Aimé Giral is that it doesn't have that low seating, quite a long way behind the posts, like the stade Gilbert Brutus so we will probably get a better view.
