Yeah, front rows seem to be elevated a few feet above pitch level, so you'd still have a decent view, plus takes the pillars out of the equation.

I'm all booked, in terms of flights, train and hotels.

Which section should I book, I'm not a fan of end terraces, and deffo not uncovered, at this time of year

Travee I on Elie Peybere, has a nice set of seats in 2 rows at the front of the stand. there's another cluster in in the middle of that section but looks not to be near the steps.

lots of seats together in the 36e seats.

Looks like we'll need to book soon, so ?

Everything is covered except the terrace, but that Elie Peybere stand has pillars at the front so best try to avoid those if possible.


About four fairly narrow pillars which shouldn't be a big deal.

I'd say start booking that cluster alright.....

Hmmm not sure, would be good if we went same area anyway, whats the count of fans so far any idea?

That centre is pretty pricey but only other option are the corners for 17e or terrace I suppose. Both uncovered but obv more height in stand

There's a cluster of 18 seats in a neat square(ish) at the 22' for 26e

Flying Dublin to Carcassonne, out Friday back Sunday afternoon. Going to hire a car and drive myself, gives me a couple of extra hours to recover from Saturday night. Will have 3 spaces in the car if anyone wants a lift.

Those Dublin Carcassonne flights getting pretty pricey now - looking at €200 return.
The ones home from Limoges are still pretty cheap.

That probably doesn't particularly suit those who are flying back from Carcassonne on Sunday though (unless ye want to get the train back at 7am).


Flying direct to Toulouse (as Gatwick is only twenty minutes away from me) with Easyjet.
Due in about 17:35 on the Friday...so if things go my way I'll catch the last train out of Toulouse at 18:25 and be in Brive by 21:00..If not I may be joining you on the Bus up..

Staying in Ibis Centre, close to town centre and stadium, cheap as chips and does what it says on the tin...

No they don't appear to be on sale yet.
I will check with the branch if they are requesting an allocation but they probably won't be, so I reckon the Brive website is the place to go whenever they go on sale.

I'm only going one way but would gladly split the cost of a car rental if anyone is driving. Shelflife x 3 are on the same itinerary. I think at the minute it's looking like €31 a head for shuttle/train/bus so for a few quid more we could cut a few hours off the journey time.

OK we're booked into and out of Carcassonne. Arriving Friday, leaving Sunday. Booked into the Qualys Hotel (free with air miles)
If anyone else is flying into Carcassonne on Friday we should look at sharing the cost of transfers. There's two of us.
Going to Leinster on 1st and now have Brive to look forward to on the 16th! Connacht Abu!!
