OK folks. I have a local coach firm who are willing to provide coaches. Each coach takes 50 people. They are suggesting two departure times from Limoux to Carcassonne (stopping at three strategic points in Carcassonne to leave people close to their chosen hotels). Suggested departures are midnight and 1.30am. (The bars in Limoux close at 2am on Saturday).
We need therefore a minimum of 30 people per bus at 10€ each to make it cost effective.
There are about a dozen café/bars in Limoux, with six of those on the main square. The main square is walking distance from the match venue. I've spoken to several bar owners and they're into the idea of you guys staying on after the game and making you welcome.. There are also a lot of restaurants within walking distance.
We need to work out how I can collect the cash to pay the coach company. Either someone your end could organise collecting 10€ per person in advance or I could my Paypal account perhaps. I would hate to have to find myself paying for the buses if no one turns up!
Any comments?

Hi folks,
Thought I'd leave you guys a contact number in Limoux for any problems you might encounter, whether it be local info needed to get to the ground or how to find the bus back home (10€, not a free trip Im afraid) or the nearest chemist for alka seltzer.
Yes, at the moment there are a few problems with train strikes. It should be OK by Saturday but I'll keep you posted on here about developments. (Bear in mind that hitching is an option if the worst comes to the worst, particularly on the road from Carcassonne to Limoux, as everyone understands how poor the public transport system is here... You just have to be careful not to spill your beer in the car)

By the way, in an interview with the local press here, Robbie Paul said "The Leigh fans are great; having a very vocal support in the stands really does help us on the field. I think sometimes fans generally underestimate the effect they have on us as players".....So there you are you've been told.

My number is 0033 608450368.

Hitchhiking!?!?! Wish Id have thought of that last week, would have saved a fortune!!
How many home fans are you expecting to turn out?

yeh,you can hitchhike and if you are coming from Toulouse the easiest place to pick up a lift is at the 'peage' at the entrance to the motorway at the barrier where every car has to stop to pick up a toll ticket - car hire (from the airport for example) is another option but you will obviously need your driving licence - bon voyage

The rail europe site is down, can you check something for us.

We can get to Paris but need to know some options for trains to Carcassonne via either Avignon or Toulouse on Friday. I know there are plenty of options but cant work out which lines are striking or not.

Any ideas?

Don't think there will be many for the midnight bus now! Really gutted we can't make it
