One great thing I discovered watching the French LER Cup on internet TV is that the Carcassonne stadium has been renovated massively, with a new grandstand where once there was only a few benches, and the old grandstand on the opposite side is being extended. So my guess is that the stadium may be close to Super League capacity (12,000). It certainly looks 300% better than before.
Only problem is the running track, so it is not a rugby purpose built stadium. But still better than anything southeast of Toulouse and north west of Perpignan.
I hope some Leigh fans were there.

| Widnes and Leigh should both get a franchise long before Toulouse.  I don't think we need a second French SL team, building a strong French Super League would be better for the country's development in the long-run - how much must Cats spend on travel costs to the UK in a season?!  |

The French are a million miles from being capable of having 12 professional clubs.

Celtic were a million miles away from being ready for an SL franchise.  |

What is it to you? You and your club don't pay the costs.
I would take you more seriously if you bothered to attend Hull KR away games. But obviously you are not at the Stoop today. You are an armchair fan, the kind of fan that is not worth the time of day for any club.

Are you talking about today's Lord Derby Cup Final?
If so, it was being played at Albi, not Carcassonne.
I don't think much has changed at the Stade Albert Domec recently, although I was told they're going to re-surface the running track in the summer. |
|
|
|
| Okay, and why weren't you at The Stoop Albert?
P.S. Pretty sure I won't get an answer. |

Thanks for that correction. I had forgotten about the Albi location, because I am used to LER finals being at Carcassonne. |

Yeah I made that mistake too.
So, how come you missed your Quins at home today? |
