Anyone been to Castres before? Good craic to be had at the stadium? I know a few of the french teams have bbq's and a band playing until the last drunkard leaves. Anything similar at Castres? Where is everyone staying? We booked into Hotel L'Europe.

We were there nearly 6 years ago, for a day trip. Club style bar under main stand with Windows onto pitch. They had a carnival-type band and the crack was 90. Really friendly folk. Just mention Jeremy Davidson's name and someone will buy you a pint.

Aye makes you feel more at home and also not as far to travel as heading away down to South end of pitch.General Prom wrote:Has to be North doesn't it?

Funny you should say that as the North stand was full of flegs, even a Union flag, as the supporters kinda copied the 2BC and flew all the national flags of their players. I suppose it was okay to fly the Union Flag in France as it would not offend anyoneRooster wrote:Aye makes you feel more at home and also not as far to travel as heading away down to South end of pitch.General Prom wrote:Has to be North doesn't it?
they even flew a big Irish Tricolour for Jezza and Small

Example prices...5 seater approx £203...8 seater..£306...16 seater...£406 you can work out the per head prices yourself.
3 in my group...pm me if interested.
At the moment I have nine souls on my list...this will require a 16 seater so seven places left....... all aboard for the Castres Express!
