Hi guys
Perpignan is in Languedoc - Roussillon region near Spain frontier and Barcelona. Perpignan is the capital of North Catalogne. It s a small town ( population 100 000) Perpignan in super league is the only chance to improve rugby league in France. Perpignan will go to play in Aimé Giral stadium, the stadium of rugby union club of Perpignan. the capacity of stadium is 15 000.

Good stuff Puig...

Perpignan should do a lot better than the Paris-St Germain did ten years before?

Best of luck - bon chance!

 

[Puig-Aubert]

the beginning of PSG was very good. The crowd was very good too. but after the majority of players was australians, not very good idea. Now we need a super league club with a majority of french players. I hope perpignan will be a success !!

 

[bartman]

Yeah, a French team should have French players, if it's any hope of being a long-term success.

Might have to come over and watch a game there in 2006!

In Perpignan they are futures rugby league stars with Fakir and Mounis ( captain of France junior).
