[Napster]

No, it's not about Open All Hours, but fifth tier club Granville progressing to the quarter finals of the French Cup.

A bit like when Calais reached the final a few years back, I'm not sure what level they were at the time.

Just searched it and Calais were a tier 4 club at the time.

The not so mighty Berrichonne got to the final in 2004 which put us in the champions league for a game,oh how we have fallen good luck granners.
Do not suppose you noticed but in the coup de france you dont wear your kit but the kits of the sponors with colors close to your kit.

I like the idea of top sides being forced to play their games away.

Its a good cup not that i would know due to the Berri being not so mighty but this year Limoges drew Lyon and seeing as they only have one stand asked the Berri to put the game on to which they said NO or maybe NON,French football is crazy but i like it.

Looking forward to Rennes v Lyon in March. First taste of french footy in the flesh and at €20 for a ticket not the last.

If you can afford 8 euros then come and watch the mighty BERRI.

I remember reading about Calais many years ago, but didn't realise there had been so many lower division finalists in recent times....

Just been reading up on your team. Must admit, I'd got the impression from your posts over the years that they were kind of Essex Senior level but I was wrong - similar sort of crowds to Southend United. Allez Berrichonne!

Alas they are more Southend district but they are my team.
