Toulon Venue

[blocky_head7]

Any ideas or clues where this game will be played? Want to book tickets/flights and hotel asap...

The latest news we have bh is that the ERC will inspect Toulon's ground on Feb 4th to see if suitable for game, a decision will be made after that. All we know is the game will be played Sun 7th April at 5.30pm in France!!
Our group(6 of us) will be in Marseille for weekend but will probably watch the game in bar somewhere near the station ready for the flight home at 9.55pm
We will still have a cracking w/e but the stupid time for this game means we can't get to see it with our flight arrangements(our own fault before anyone comments), but why the ERC have decided to have the match involving the team traveling the furthest on last that w/e is beyond me

because we are tigers?? They all hate us out there!

Toulon are moving their league match with Clermont the following w/e to Marseille!

I think Marseille is the place if they can't play at home. We are going to stay there as its pretty central.

In Treviso Tigers fans met up at the Celtic bar shall we have a Marseille equivalent?
Toulon are moving Clermont match as it's classed as a grudge match & high numbers want to watch.

Toulon still works well as a base even if the game is moved to Marseille. Trains are regular even on a Sunday - its about 40 mins.
There is a train back to Toulon at 20:31 which would work.

I thought we were supposed to be informed today as to the whereabouts of the 1/4 final, but alas I haven't seen it anywhere.

When will the hierarchy of European rugby let us know? Does anyone know yet? The closer it gets I'm sure hotel prices will rise as will the airlines charges!

According to this twitter feed they have had their visit

Still no word on the confirmed venue for the Toulon game? This is making travel plans a bit tricky!
