I am an ASM fan and this bar looks like terrific for the pre-match.
Also, I know that a lot of french fans will be there to watch the first 1/2 final between Munster and Saracens.

Re: Lyon Roll Call
doesn't seem to be much buzz about the game/trip on the boards here. do we know how many of the leinster allocation were sold? what kind of numbers do the OLSC expect to turn up?
best quote from croker was this old boy behind me after about 65 minutes when you could see the red jerseys flooding out of the place

I'm an Italian Leinster supporter... I'm leaving now from Bologna to Lyon by motorcycle, if you see an old Kawasaki ZXR400 in the streets, that's me! See you there!

Re: Lyon Roll Call
Sorry for the late notice Jezzer.....but this place we ate in last year the day of the final was really excellent.....the people couldnt have been nicer and we were fed and watered royally over about 3 hours. Extremely reasonable too.jezzer wrote:The Jezzer family of 5 will be there, leaving tomorrow am and already getting nervous!
Is it just me that gets bothered by the fact that we're going to one fo the great French cities to sample local culture and the mingle with local supporters of this great support - yet our "base" for the weekend is a bloody Irish pub serving pints and Irish breakfasts??? Can't we just actually enjoy real French life for one weekend??! Do visiting French teams set up their base in some French spot in Dublin? Like hell. They get stuck in with the locals.
Rant over. Can't wait for the weekend and will enjoy my croissants and coffee for breakfast, maybe a nice Cotes du Rhone to go with lunch!

Just checked into the Radisson Blu hotel (near Part Dieu). Was told the Leinster team are staying here, and are due to arrive at 3pm today.

Re: Lyon Roll Call
That's the perfect spot to meet.
There are good bars at the bottom of the street in the sun, as you turn onto Place Bellecours.
