Been speaking to Whitehaven re their experiences on the Toulouse trip a couple of things that might interest those that are going; Novotel hotel is "superb" ground is a 25 mins walk from the hotel, or 3 stops on the metro Two english bars locally, "george and Dragon" and "Melting pot" both good BUT beer is expensive anything between 6 and 10 Euros a pint theres is a supermarket near ground, beer cheaper and Whitehaven were allowed to take beer into the game Theres a VERY NOISY brass band that plays throughout the game Wine is cheap When Whitehaven went just about everything was closed on the Sunday hope this helps mike

And the Ryanair flights have gone up twice in the past couple of weeks. Anybody taking kids, the Novotel and Crowne Plaza seem to be the only places you can get that do family rooms (more than 3 to a room). We're flying out from East Midlands on the Friday morning and stopping in the Novotel for 2 nights. NB - There are 2 Novotels in Toulouse, one in the centre and one near the airport. The one near the airport is across the river and the furthest one away (providing I'm looking at the right stadium!).
