Hi Domhnallj thanks for the info as always it’s the game at the Away game against Wasps that I was wondering about ?.
I've done it before - you don't need to wait for the OLSC. Sounds like you'll have enough on here for a minibus or something. Just get lads to paypal you the cash and hire an airport transfer. There's usually a online options for minibus hire. As long as folks on here trust you with a tenner (or whatever)
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.

Would but looks like there may be a big crew trying to do this so it might need an actual coach ?.

Ah, this lot might be a possibility:

20 people after the game to the Airport would be £10/head according to their booking site. 40 people would be £8.

Where would all the fans gather before the game in Toulouse, up from Carcassonne for the day?

Re. the Wasps game - we should know by late December if there is an OLSC transport option from Ricoh to Birmingham Airport. If not, I'm happy to get numbers in early January for a minibus and make a booking - shouldn't be too late at that stage.
The price of the flight is still fairly low at €47 so I don't think that there are too many booked on it, at this stage. Ryanair prices shoot up well beyond that level once the plane starts to fill up.

They are, but are suspended when there is a game at the Ricoh. They use a single/two car deisel unit (one/two coach train) on the line that passes through the station, so overcrowding becomes a huge problem. Plenty of buses from Pool Meadow Bus Station in Coventry to the Tesco Superstore close to the ground (4/5/20). Also Buses from the Railway Station at Coventry.

Around Place du Capitole most likely (unless Toulouse set up a supporters area) - there'll be a supporters guide in the week before which may have other suggestions

Or better again. Monday off and take your time.
Not sure if someone already replied to this, but there's a train station in Birmingham airport, so no need to get a cab. Only a few quid, and about 10-15 minutes, from Birmingham airport to Coventry.

Also not a season ticket holder anymore. Have people already been given the option of buying Bath away tickets? Hoping to get a couple.

No, I've seen nothing yet but was wondering when they would become available. Going on sale to their STHs on Nov 5th - so hopefully we'll hear something around then.

Bath Away
Well lads, have many booked for Bath away, checking flights to bristol now and seems reasonable. Hotels on the other hand are crazy money.

I now see Joe Walsh offering trips for €459 for one night. Seems excessive without tickets.

Last time we were there I bought directly from Bath Rugby with no problems. Got decent seats beside one of their older season ticket holders who gave me a very nice potted history of Bath. He was also most vocal about people moving about when the ball was in play - a sentiment I wish was shared everywhere.

Surely Bath away tickets will be sold by Leinster from their away fans allocation?

I see general public tickets only go on sale from Bath website on 13 November.

I got the number of tickets I was looking for. I bought from the STH allocation so hopefully we might have some other similarly minded fans around us. Opposite end from the Thatcher's Terrace though.
