A game that both teams were not interested in - I could have gone and watched my local cliub play better and more entertaining rugby. When you take your teenage rugby playing sons to watch and learn from the 'French' and teams containing some of the world's best players and all they do is kick the ball into the air for 80mins, its a waste of money.

If Amlin thought they put on a display both teams should hold their heads in shame.

Not good!

This was as boring a game of rugby as I have seen in quite some time. By the end of the game most of the neutral crowd (it was played by two French teams in London so there were a lot of neutrals) were heckling the players, mainly to retain a semblance of interest.
Everyone was nervous during the last few minutes as Toulon attacked. A penalty would have meant a draw and 30 minutes more play. Mass suicide was being discussed.
This is the second poor Amlin Cup Final in a row. Cardiff was rescued by an outrageous last few minutes. This one had no such redeeming feature.
Two French teams in a Final is no recipe for good rugby.

The rugby played on the night by the two French finalists was woeful, but their supporters more than made up for it and kept me thoroughly entertained, especially the Toulon band in the South Stand. Dix points !!
To put it into context though, I booked these tickets because my rugby club, Harlequins, were the 2011 Cup holders and their ground is a walk away from my house. They didn't make the final, but I still hoped the rugby would be good!!!

Really good game of rugby, very disappointed that they had closed off all the bars under the stands for Corporate dinners so that there was only 2 bars for around 9000 people or so, very badly managed, took ages to get a drink, it was a Friday night and there were a lot of thirsty people there who just wanted to watch a good game of Rugby and relax with a couple of beers at the end of the week, very badly organised.

Poor venue for a very poor game of rugby.

The venue has not got a clue how to serve refreshments. We paid nearly£100 pounds for two tickets and had to queue in the rain for a beer for 20 minutes. Did not bother a second time!

To top it all, it was a very poor game of rugby. Both teams content to kick and not run the ball.

A European cup final deserves a European class venue, and The Stoop is just not it.

Can we have a refund please! Sorry but you did ask!

Cold and wet but the band played on....... Good spirit and atmosphere from the mostly French crowd. Disappointing game - all kicking would have liked to see more running rugby and TRIES!! Good opportunity to see Biarritz and Toulon play......
Seat allocation right in the middle of the VERY NOISY French contingent!
Moved to an empty section. Ground was only half full so no problem.

Not the most inspiring game of rugby I've ever seen. Both teams seemed to be focusing on not losing rather than going all out to win. When compared to the Heineken Cup Final the following day the fact that the Stoop was far from full just about summed up the whole game. Something needs to be done to refresh the Amlin Challenge Cup format or it will slowly "wither on the vine".

Fantastic atmposphere. Both sets of fans were superb, especialy the Toulon Brass Band!
Good match in tricky conditions with world class kicking from Dimitri & Jonny. Great to see Biarritz win their first European trophy - well deserved by a fine team who are the heartbeat of their beautiful town.

The Amlin Challange cup final at the Stoop, was a very dour affair. However, what really got my goat up was the very very long queues for food and drink. I started to queue for a drink at 7.40 and finally got back to my seat at 8.15.!!!!!!!!

Why does it take 35 minutes to get served. The food queue was almost as long.

Surely the people at the Stoop or the ERC, should know how many kiosks to have open for an event that will attract 10,000 or so people.

It is time for major sportng events to either open up completely or shut down.

Facilities to serve the crowd were not enough. Lines to drinks and food were too long.
Staff were professional, and helped people to their seats and kept people off the line of view

The game was one of the worst between two top European sides, perhaps worse than the Heineken final between Biarritz and Toulose two years ago! Aimless kicking, the only time the ball got near the 22 it was quickly hoofed back up the pitch.

I was almost glad of the queues at the bar trailers to prevevent me being bored to distraction by the rugby.

We were sitting right beside one of the bars, but were told they were reserved for corporates and had to wait 25 mins to get served at one of the trailers. No wait though with 15 mins left in the match as the trailers had run out of beer!

The row immediately below and behind us were taken by the said corporates who obviously didn't think much of the match either, as most spent their time up and down to the free bar (rubbing salt in the wound) or on the phone to friends''guess where I am''

Treating real fans like this will kill this cup in the future as I don't intend to pay for a top price ticket for second class catering/bar facilites.

For the first time that I can remember I don't feel able to post a particularly positive review.

The game was not the best - far too much aimless kicking and very little running rugby. I'd hoped for a more positive and ambitious approach from the teams. However, because the result was in doubt right to the last seconds it remained interesting.

However, whilst the match was clearly what we went for I can not let pass without comment the dreadful bar and catering arrangements. I'm assuming that these were not the fault of Harlequins as I've been to the Stoop in the past and not had any problem. On Friday the bars under the main stands were not available to most supporters, but reserved for VIP / Corporate. The mobile catering vans in one corner of the ground were completely overwhelmed meaning that we couldn't get a drink without missing part of the game - so we gave up trying and spent nothing as a result, as did many others. And it was not because there was a huge crowd

A poor impression for people attending for the first time.
