Minor news but confirmed this match will be played at Stade Aime Giral because of renovation work at Stade Gilbert Brutus.

Better atmosphere at the Giral I think so good news.

Never been to that stadium before , where is it from gilbert brutus?

From the town its along the same road as gilbert brutus, but about 10-15 minutes walk before, down a road on the right. Think it is well singposted, or at least it was last time.

They are pretty close to each other. You pass the Giral when travelling up to the Brutus.

Wasn't this announced a while ago? Maybe it was just local press/Catalan website.
First SL game was played there. Prefer Gilbert Brutus meself but a good ground none the less.

Should be a good occasion, they will market the game to try and get a bigger crowd in a bigger stadium. Games between us and Catalans are alwasy good quality as well.

Well I was speculating about it in December on here but just posting the confirmation.

Excellent news for Catalan about their stadium.

Its the behind the goal that is being renovated isnt it?

Pleased with that, with it being closer to centre we won't bewasting as much valuable drinking time getting back.

Better viewing wherever we are !

Shame about having to miss a trip to that pub on the corner though.
