Hi, We'll be making that decision on the way down to the Munster match on Saturday. We'll probably go to the same stand as last time, but much closer to the pitch
Keep your eyes peeled on this thread and we'll have something up here over the weekend.Hope this helps.

Tickets on sale web.digitick.com/ca-brive-connacht-sport...pg101-ri9092173.html

for 2017, we were in Elie Peybrie stand, but were a little far from the front. Seats there are 39e
Looks like the seats behind the dugouts arent available, just the ends, at 49e, Tribune Europe

the stand at edge of pitch tickets seem to be 13e, was there for our first game in Brive, its not a terrace, it's flat

Ah no we missed out on "The Express" service
Also you dodged a bullet in having us in your car
You around for some lunch on the Thursday? We are in Paris from about 10:30-14:30 if you are interested.....

Gents, I'm driving from Paris on Fri pm if anyone is interested.

With La Bar Basque shut, where are we thinking?

We'll have to find that tackle bag beer dispenser again :woohoo:

Not a clue. I've been preoccupied with trying to find the most interesting way to get from Brive to Cherbourg. There is a fancy new LNG-powered ship that I want to try out.
Have you made contact with Kop Cabiste (if they still exist)?

Dublin airport is fine these days. Been through it a few times recently.

The Shannon-Marseille flight I booked was eight quid earlier today - I feel ripped off I paid 26. It's gone back up now.
You can get a Thurs-Sun return for €17. It's a bit of a train ride to Brive but on the plus side you avoid Dublin airport. You also get back into Shannon at midnight so the bus is not an option.

Fly to Paris Thursday then train to Brive. Seem to be a good few doing this apart from Pinky and his round the world trip of France.

Back Saturday Limoges - Stansted - Dublin. Back in Dublin about 9.30pm

That must be the full years annual leave right there

Shannon-Marseille-Montauban-Brive-Limoges-Poitiers-Le Mans-Caen-Cherbourg-Rosslare
You are sorry you asked.
Fancy it? Think I have a spare bed on the ferry.

For those going to Brive, what's your travel route??

- which stand/block will you gather
- meet at the Shamrock Pub in the afternoon?

We'll win this Challenge Cup if we get these away points in Brive and then target Top 4/Top 2 of our pool, home round of 16, QF, maybe SF and final in Dublin!

Could be a good shout as le Bar Basque has closed. Thats the one we dropped anchor in the last trip to Brive..
We are reaching out to the Brive supporters to see if they want to meet for a "beverage or 2" ...

I am assuming that Pinky is on the case re watering holes!!

Re tickets, there's plenty of time yet. Will wait to see how many more are confimring and will then decide...We had pretty good tickets the last time we were in Brive, must dig up ticket to see where we were..
