Toulouse match information : Thu Apr 16, 2009 2:50 pm
We have been in to the office at Toulouse Olympique today to get tickets for the match.
Toulouse have arranged buses for supporters from the original ground (Stade de Minimes?) to the new ground on Saturday. The buses will lwave at 14:00, 14:30, and 15:00. We think they are free. To get to stade Minimes get the Metro to Barriere de Paris, walk across the m,ain road and we were told the gates to the gound will be open, the clubhouse is at the other end of the ground and you can walk through.
Match tickets are 20 euros seating and 10 euros standing. There are 4000 seats (2000 down each side of the ground), and 2000 standing although there is no terracing or banking, it is all flat.
After the game Toulouse have organised a Bodega. Apparently there is a bar here with a the possibility of a band also. After their post match meals, players from both teams will join the supporters.
Buses will return to Stade Minimes at 20:00, 20:30 and 21:00. As the Toulouse chairman said "This will give everybody the chance to have a good time".
Every body was extremely freindly and it was obvious that they want to create a sociable atmosphere.
By the way, we have been impressed with Toulouse as a city also, better than we expected, and the weather has been good also.
