Is the game to be played at the same stadium ? I think from a drink induced memory, it was called the Minimes or something like that. Doesnt tell you an awful lot on the Toulouse website.

Not 100% sure but believe the stadium is not the same this time around.

We did Stanstead - Carcasonne then caught the train last time round, this time we are driving down and making a long weekend of it, last time we were there it was open air bar and barbecue inside the ground, great atmoshere and great day had by all aprt form the result.

Etap hotel is where we stayed last time and have booked with them this time, reasonable price and only five - ten mins walk from the train station and about 20-30 mins from the ground by foot.

Yes thats right Baz that the trip i did last time----my mistake Jet2 now do a flight from Leeds straight to Toulouse.

what a weekend. hopefully am off again to toulouse this yr. with the missus and a cpl of friends. i may take the drive option, but if i do i gotta get back by l8 sun nt.

otherwise fly fri to sun

lots of cheap hotels in the vicinity, and i can't see em selling out tbh. lol

oh and hello everybody, been a while, but hopefully back amongst the dons soon.

gary

Nice to see you back Gary, the game is on sat night so if you drive you could maybe set of early sun morning.

Their home ground is the stade des minimes but ive read somewhere that they are playing a few games somewhere else as french tv are showing some of them live on orangetv.

Ill have a look again and come back on later.

Yes, we did Stansted to Carcassonne and then train to Toulouse. Unfortunately our big mistake was booking the hotel in Carcassonne and there was no late train back from Toulouse to Carcassonne or else we would have also gone to the football, as Toulouse were playing St Etienne with an 8pm kick-off. Damn it !!

Going out for the Toulouse V Eagles game on 21 March and it's at the Stade des Minimes

If youve not booked any digs H Lad, then get in the Etap as somebody has said earlier.Its about a 10-15 min walk to the ground and easy to get into town for a pint or ten at night!

It's almost prophetic this thread.
Toulouse away.

Or not to lose that is the question?

Cheers for the tip but already got one, right opposite the main train station apparently

Hi all.
The ground is called Stade de Minimes, or Stade Arnaune. (It's the same place!) If you go down there, the nearest metro station is Barriere de Paris, for some strange reason (the name that is). It's about two minutes to the ground from there. The club are also putting on a bodega (bar), in the gym after the game, for the away fans to go and have a drink or two, and also meet the players. I live in England but am helping the Toulouse team when they are over here, and will be down for the Dons game. If anyone wants any help get in touch,, and I will try and point you in the right direction. Cheers.
I usually fly Ryanair to Carcassone and drive up. Takes about an hour.

Hi again.
Just to let you know that the route Leeds/Bradford to Toulouse starts 16th May till 23rd September. Flights to Toulouse at the moment one way are £59.99 going out on the Friday 21st Aug.

Me again!
Ryanair at the moment, East Midlands to Carcassonne are £5.49 each. If you go out Friday and come back Monday (21st to 24th August) with taxes comes to just over 60 quid. Hope it helps?
