We booked flights and hotels when the fixture was announced. We are still going and will have a great weekend.

Steve, i think your taxis here...

The ruling that crowds of more than 1,000 aren't allowed doesn't mean the local authorities will sanction regardless crowds of less than 1,000. In this instance they have been told to play with no crowd.

Maybe the Folau signing has burnt some bridges and the clubs are less willing to help Catalans out. They were all vocal at the time about how it was done by the club so there may be little sympathy here. Wonder what Israel puts Coronavirus down to

I think the loss of a TV deal upset the clubs more which then made the Folau deal more of an issue for the clubs.

Oh right, I didn't realise that

Having been in similar discussions and negotiations, candidly the problem is with the French Government not with Leeds. Rightly so they have put their case forward, however it is Leeds who have to have the final decision. In discussions with the French no satisfaction could be agreed with them, therefore the game has to go ahead. Any Super league team should do the same. In a game with not much money, the threat of ground closure, the cancellation of fixtures, the short term is looking bleak.
Leeds needs the income to pay off their debt to the bank for the new stands, simply changing fixtures around does not bode well with the corporate sponsors and the corporate entertainment, the corporate sponsors want Friday evening games, this is when their clients attend games, already this year we have a number of games on Thursday and Sundays, changing more fixtures does not help the situation, even more so what about the players health, surely we need to look after the players welfare. I have no sympathy with the French

I am confused here, and it seems some other posters are. Were Catalans suggesting we switch our home game to this weekend? Or were they suggesting we switch the next away game to be played at Headingley but as of this weekend?

We play them twice away, although one in Tolouse I know. If they were expecting us to play them twice away still and at short notice pull our home game forward to this weekend, then they are bang out of order and no wonder no further discussions. If they were suggesting us now getting two home games but putting one of them on at short notice, then you can have a bit of sympathy with them.

Be nice if the game got streamed now.......

If only Catalans still had a local TV deal......

Sadly I think this is the tip of the iceberg. I can see there being a big problem with crowds for weeks or months ahead. You wait til the virus really kicks off in the UK.

I reckon the game V saints will either be off or behind closed doors - this virus thing isn't going away any time soon, the economic effect will be devastating, could push many businesses over the edge, including mine!
