| Emma and I are off to gai Paris. This is not a wine-tasting trip nor a chance to indulge in French food at its finest (although both of these may well be considered during the course of the visit), but rather to bring you all the details of the Gloucester versus Stade Français rugby match. The big match Yes, in case you weren't aware, Gloucester are playing Stade Français in Rugby's Heineken Cup on Saturday 23rd October 2004 in Paris! This is the top European club competition in the sport, which will decide who wins the title of European Champion, therefore it's essential that we're there to bring you all the action. You'll be able to listen to the game live on BBC Radio Gloucestershire (104.7FM and 1413AM) or from our completely free live commentary web stream [more information]. Being relatively new to the BBC Radio Gloucestershire team, and knowing next to nothing about sport, I was enlisted to go on the sole basis of my French speaking skills. Emma's French does not extend beyond 'can I buy a pound of apples?', which, it was decided, might not be the best line of attack for an initial interview with the Captain of the opposing side. Eurostar Emma (pictured right) and I have packed our bags (and her phrase-book) and will be waving 'au revoir' to Gloucester on Thursday 21st October. We'll be taking the Eurostar and arriving at la Gare du Nord at 4pm. Keep your eye on this web page to read regular updates of our trip to Paris with pictures! Kat Brown
