You may want to be in Toulouse tonight (or not if you are an oval-taffy). Thousands of Welsh football fans will be at the Stade to see their team play the dreaded Russians. Kick off at 21h (9pm) French time.
Sadly some fans booked on an Easyjet flight yesterday were told at the last minute on Saturday that the plane was grounded and the flight cancelled. They were offered replacement flights later in the week, or in one case a flight to Corsica ("that's in France, isn't it?). Faced with driving here or spending hundreds of pounds on alternative flights to airports nowhere near Toulouse (eg Madrid) many chose to stay home..The match is televised on ITV4 for those of us not in Wales, with England v Slovakia on ITV .
French TV knows its priorities and will show only the England match, but relegated from TF1 to TMC, a TNT station owned by TF1. A bit like showing it on ITV4 we suppose.
