Leeds at Bronco's on a Mondy . Wigan and Wire games away to Bronco's are on the road trips . Looks like the RFL are trying to Bankrupt the Bronco's .

Early indications are that there is a very late train back to Leeds, leaving Kings Cross at 23.30, arriving about half one. Of course they could change the timetable before then, but at least it's an option.

Another thing I've just noticed is Huddersfield, Widnes and Warrington away are on consecutive weekends around the end of June.

7.45 k.o. means approx 9.20ish finish. Can we be certain of hitting King's Cross for 23.30?

And that trifecta of mega -ups could be a fun time.

Two hours to get across London, easily do-able I reckon, but obviously it means missing the bar out post-match.

As for the away days, I'm already thinking one of them (Widnes) might have to be a bit more sedate than previously.

Just realised, I think Huddersfield away is going to be a no-go for me, assuming I go to Le Mans that's the date I'd miss. This just keeps on getting better and better

He goes through the bins at Red Hall.



No he should not. But when has that ever stopped him in the past?

Shock horror. Each team plays the other teams home and away with an extra game in Manchester.

Fantastic.

I'll answer on his behalf considering it was me who brought the issue up in the first place. My view is [i"don't shoot the messenger"[/i. It is ultimately the responsibility of the RFL to secure their precious information until the preferred date and time of release.

Might be an idea for them to hold a media conference to announce the fixtures to all and sundry at the same time. Instead, they prefer to extract the urine under the guise of marketing by drip-feeding a restricted few nuggets of information to their compliant and unquestioning supporter base whilst offering the lot to their mates and associates with an embargo attached. These full fixture lists have been known for days by anyone with even the most tenuous club or media links to the RFL who, I am sure, have taken advantage of such insider knowledge like planning an away trip to Catalan for instance.

Are you accusing them of being a super league dripping-boy rabble?

Absolutely

They'll be drip-feeding the new England World Cup shirt design next!

The only fixture I'd like to know about ahead of the crowd is Catalan away - budget airlines use a sliding price scale where the more people to book the flight the more expensive it gets. Getting in early can save you a few quid and give you a better chance of booking a decent hotel.

Also, if the Magic weekend was in a reasonably different location, i.e. not Manchester but Cardiff or Edinburgh, hotel availability and prices can vastly vary on an 'event weekend'. Booking before the announced date can be beneficial.

When Catalans first joined the league, we were given the short straw of about their first or second home games of the season and then there was a threat of a boycott if we didn't go in the Summer.

We've had a couple of games during August and now we're back to early Spring again ... When are we going to get May / June dates over there ?
