Toulouse not the ticket for frustrated Castres fans

CASTRES rugby bosses have appealed to their fans to support them in Saturday’s Heineken Cup clash with Munster in Toulouse after it was revealed only 10,000 tickets have been sold for the encounter.

The French club announced in September that they would move the glamour clash from their 10,000 capacity Stade Pierre Antoine home to the 18,754 capacity Stade Ernest Wallon, situated 80 kilometres west of Castres.

But that decision was met with disbelief in some quarters, with local businesses particularly upset at missing out on the estimated 2,000 Munster fans who will descend on the south of France this weekend.
