Hi HK

I'll send a PM to Starbrite who loves his footy.

Meanwhile have a look at www.staderennais.com/ which is the premier venue in Brittany.

Also this might be of interest to you: footbretagne.fff.fr/cg/7700/www/index.shtml

And here is a direct link to Brest FC www.sb29.com/ highest entry price seems to be 35 euros for local matches and 56 euros for matches against clubs such as Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Lorient, Rennes, Bordeaux, Saint-Étienne, Lille. They also have an on-line ticket office for the next matches........such as Brest v Nancy on 24/3/12

Hope that helps

Thanx for the reply and the links.....I know Rennes are the big fish in Brittany,but its too far for me to be a regular fan...Brest is much nearer to my place,and I do like the underdogs,and they seem to be punching above their weight in Ligue 1.Ile try and catch a game before the season ends....L'Orient is also a lot closer to me than Rennes,so they would be my 2nd choice....cheers for any info re le fut.

Tickets cheap compared to UK prices, lowest adult price about €12, in our area you can get tickets to Rennes for free just by shopping at Super U, often local factorys get given cut price tickets to sell on to the workers, a lot depends on the quality of the opponents, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Lorient, Rennes, Bordeaux, Saint-Étienne and Lille will cost more. against the likes of Auxerre they pay you to come and watch (not really).
