Oh dear. A Friday night kick-off in Bourgoin is not ideal for the travelling support. Could be airport to ground!

On the positive side, we may be able to take in three games over the weekend.

Big Blue,
Have looked at the potential travel arrangements for Toulouse/Castres - bad news follows:-

Toulouse - depart Lyon 9.41am arr Toulouse 13.56
depart Toulouse 23.28pm arrive Lyon 6am
Castres - depart Lyon 9.41am arr Castres 15.30
depart Castres 20.40 arr Lyon 6am
The journey to Castres involves changing trains in Toulouse!

As & when the Narbonne & Bayonne games have their dates confirmed I will post possible travel details .

I had already ruled out a Heineken double header!

PS Narbonne is 250 miles from Lyon, Bayonne double that! Could be the round ball game if Lyon are at home.
