Rain all weekend,
The sun didn't come out until we were on the plane back.
Beer £6 a pint.
Poor game.
We lose.
What a bloody great weekend.

I got 2 cans of lager in the supermarket at €0.80 each, and took them in the ground, instead of having to buy 2 tokens at €2.50 each to get 1 pint of beer in the ground. Its not cheap over there, but its a one off, so I can handle it, plus its a holiday of sorts. |

Hey I can echo that. Saturday - up at 5am, drove 225 miles to our most southern fans house in Essex, then shared a car with him over to Gatwick, flew to Toulouse from nice sunshine in England to pouring rain in southern France! Did catch the end of the Italy v France RU game which made us all smile as the pub emptied when the French lost, that was funny. Got the underground to the ground where there was hardly anybody around, even 20 mins before ko, we luckily saw some fellow Fax fans to guide us in. Bought our tokens for cr%p Amstell beer in the clubhouse, then watched our team play like a bunch of amateurs, but still smiling, just. |

I was lucky enough to go to Toulouse the last 2 years when it was red hot and so was fax but I still wish I could have made it this year cos despite the poor weather and awful performance our lot still had a good time. |

Helps to counteract kebabs and M'cD's 1664 was about £5.20. This was in the Melting Pot. In the ground a smallish lager was 1 token i.e £2.50. All prices calculated at todays exchange rate.
