Quote ="Leyther_Matt"Anyone got a link for tickets? Both ticketing agencies linked on the French RL website haven't got the game listed and the RFL don't want to know about the ">game.'"
This is something I have raised before. I went to the game in Toulouse last year and I got my tickets from some French equivalent of Ticketmaster. In the end, the postage costs were nearly as much as the actual ticket!
I sent an email to the RFL earlier this year, saying that obtaining a block of tickets - say 200 - and then selling them would be a good idea, rather than having to pay through the nose just to ensure your ticket. Rather unsurprisingly I got some generic 'we have no intention of selling tickets for this fixture' excuse and with Eagles playing on the same day i've decided not to bother.

Been in contact with the RFL and they said they're expecting an allocation at some point this year, so maybe lessons learned. That said, the international game won't be taken seriously while it still clashes with a full weekend's programme; I too would have gone to watch my club if we were on the Saturday rather than the Sunday.

| Why does it have to be a stand alone fixture? It isnt like that down here, the mid season Aus-NZ clashes with a round, and many players back up the day after.

| England meet France in the Gillette Fusion International on Saturday 13 June in Paris. Tony Smith will announce his squad for the fixture about 10 days before the date of the game.

| Great timing this fixture, 100 miles down the road is the 24 hour le mans race, 300,000 spectators and will fill the papers all weekend. The french really do make the RFL look good in comparison.

Hey Matt,
The Paris metro system goes all the way to the airport (whichever one you fly in on) and the map is straight forward enough, if you've ever used the london system you'll be fine.
They do weekend passes for the metro system, split into zones. The airport is further out so it may be cheaper to buy two single to the airport and then a zone card for the part where you're staying, but it's quite cheap so I personally wouldn't bother and would get a zone ticket so as to be able to go anywhere in Paris outside of the match.
check [url=http://www.ratp.info/orienter/f_plan_ang.php?loc=reseaux&nompdf=metro&fm=gifhere[/url and tell me if you think it's straightforward.

| Two things I'm looking forward to seeing.
First, the continued growth of the England team....its like cancer.
Second, Bobby Goulding not bothering to learn French as coach of France telling the French how to play the game.
The two worst teams in the World Cup facing off, and all that will come of it is more stupid chest beating from stupid poms.
I wouldnt have it any other way.

Very worrying for England if true. I am really starting to wonder why i am heading home for a few weeks to watch the 4 nations when its going to be a non contest. The Aussies are going to tear us apart without even trying....

I just hope England give them a good go, im using most of my time off just to come back home and watch these games (and to see the family obviously  icon_biggrin.gif" alt="icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy" /> ), not to mention coming back here after being embarrassed by the Aussies will be very humiliating  icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" />
