 | | Colombes was the equivalent of Wembley, Twickenham and White Hart Lane, combined with a touch of Madison Square Garden, because world championship boxing was also staged there. |
 | | The French rugby coach, Bernard Laporte, has also been advising the council and has given support to a scheme in which, apart from the stadium itself, 17 hectares of adjoining land running along a new expressway would be transformed into a series of sports grounds for local and school clubs. |
 | | 'Colombes was built as an Olympic stadium and we want to maintain that status, which is packed with memories,' he said. |
