Yeah, I am told St Gaudens is the most spectacular, with Avignion and Carcassonne not far behind.
Beziers was a bit of a let down with the stadium being in the industrial area of the city.

Sadly it turns out that the first of the magic weekend is being called off and the games will be playes as a normal round with home/away format. This is a bummer as I was looking forward to a weekend of League, but this just means that rather than 5 games I'll see one game in Carcassonne. Below is a reply I got from Cliff Spraklen on TRL. Sadly the rumour I had just picked up is correct. Just spoken to Jean-Alain Rives, of St Gaudens, Chair of the LER. He said the December 13 games will not now take place at one neutral stadium. They will take place according to the fixtures previously listed, but at the grounds of the first named club. This draw was based on last seasons placings. Only the March "extra games" will now take place at a neutral venue, which he said was most likely to be Narbonne, though this could not be confirmed officially. Very frustrating. Been some problems securing a stadium that would/could take 5 games at one go, at the right cost, on the day envisaged, etc. "Below was the original proposal from the LER. It does show the "extra games" fixtures. The formula for the March weekend will be according to positions at the time. "VOICI LA NOUVELLE FORMULE DU CHAMPIONNAT: 1ère nouveauté : l’instauration d’ EXTRA GAMES. Il est décidé de retenir 2 journées sur « terrain neutre », ce système ayant sans doute le mérite d’être plus équitable. Les recettes nettes seront réparties entre les 10 clubs participants. Il convient de déterminer le lieu de ces rencontres. Le choix devra se faire en fonction de la gratuité ou non de la mise à disposition du stade, de l’autorisation locale de pouvoir jouer 5 matchs sur le même terrain le même jour. Il est envisagé un EXTRA GAME à Colomiers et un autre à Béziers ou Narbonne. Pour le 1er EXTRA GAME, les rencontres sont déterminées par le classement réactualisé de la saison écoulée. Les matchs seront donc : -LEZIGNAN / PIA -CARCASSONNE / LIMOUX -UTC / ST GAUDENS -CARPENTRAS / LYON -VILLENEUVE / AVIGNON Pour le 2nd EXTRA GAME, les matchs seront fixés selon le même principe, mais en fonction du classement à la fin de la phase aller de cette saison (à nombre de match égal pour tous). |

Looks like the Elite 1 is going to get 1 game a week live on orange TV. Great step for them. Here's the Carcassonne vs Limoux game from last weekend, supposed to be a top notch match. www.ecranlocal.com/index.php?id=220 |
