Stade Toulousain will not receive La Rochelle at the Stadium de Toulouse
Stade Toulousain will host Stade Rochelais for the Top 14 play-off this Saturday, June 11, in its lair, at the Ernest-Wallon stadium. The match cannot take place at the Toulouse Stadium.
The meeting will not have the honors of the Stadium of Toulouse. Stade Toulousain must receive Stade Rochelais during the Top 14 play-off for a place in the semi-finals, this Saturday, June 11. The match will take place in the home of the Rouge et Noir, at the Ernest-Wallon stadium.
This duel between two European champions could certainly have filled the 33,000 places at the Toulouse Stadium. After all, the 19,000 tickets to the Ernest-Wallon stadium all found takers in the last game of the regular season, when Ugo Mola’s men won a resounding victory over Biarritz, 80-7, on Sunday 5 June.
Why is the play-off between Stade Toulousain and La Rochelle not played at the Stadium?
But Saturday night’s poster cannot be played at the Stadium de Toulouse, as revealed The Midi Dispatch. Indeed, the house of TFC, which will play in Ligue 1 next season, is getting a makeover. A few days after the Violets’ last match, lost against Ajaccio on May 14, the stadium lawn has been removed for conservation. The new grass was recently deposited. And the latter is not yet ready to bear the misdeeds of a rugby match.
The ticket office is open for subscribers, club partners since Monday, June 6. They are entitled to two places each. Also, 2,500 places are reserved for supporters of La Rochelle. For the general public, the ticket office will be open from Wednesday June 8 at 6 p.m. Again, they should all be sold.
