Glad it's going ahead at least.

Catalans’ statement doesn’t paint Leeds in a good light, but there’s 2 sides to every story. No doubt it will come out in the wash. Feel sorry for Rhinos fans who’ve booked non refundable flights and accommodation.

Although you can empathise with his frustrations, if leeds reversed the fixture theyd suffer financially with the short notice for walk up fans any away support and season ticket holders unable to attend. Postponing along with the giants game obviously has implications too, so unfortunately the burden falls on catalan.

Be a shame for the poor fans who have not gone through the Rhinos ticket office and paid for accommodation.
Maybe there should be some funds set up for those supporters who will be out of pocket?

Might be in a minority here but actually feel sorry for Catalan who have had two games over here postponed which wasn’t their fault and asked us for a favour of swapping a fixture and where not interested. My point we could of played at Headingley on Sunday. If Hetherington wants to penny pinch does he really think that a poxy gimmick of a double-header would draw a larger crowd than next Sun? Poor from us and guess no one will do us a turn now. Also feel sorry for our fans travelling this week.

Switching the august fixture would have meant travelling to Toronto backed up by a trip to Perpignan. Sandwiched between away fixtures at Hull and saints. Some itinerary, that.

Back Leeds here especially after looking at the fixtures we have when we are due to play them over here.
Either way its not our fault anyway Gaush should be looking at how his own Gov have made the rules to have no crowds at sporting events.

Just played 4 from 5 at Home so cant have it all

Sympathy eh! What will you say if/when our Gov do the same?

Let's not forget that Gausch could have let in 300 poor sods who've paid to travel there, plus 700 of his own fans, He chose not to.

Some utter whinging nonsense spouted from Catalans in their statement.

Why should Leeds take a big financial hit or further congest their own fixture list when the game can still be played? There is also no mention from Catalans as to what contribution Catalans would make towards Leeds costs for a rescheduled game that would never make a profit.

Catalans say they had a similar issue with Wakefield, they didn’t. That game couldn’t go ahead. This one can.

Then they threw their toys out of the pram and didn’t let anyone in. They could have let the 1,000 permissible in.

Reasons why it couldn’t be swapped round:

- Leeds Rhinos v Catalan Dragons is a double header with Toulouse v London.
- That game has to be played at a neutral venue due to it being moved from Blackpool Bash to be part of the magifique weekend in Toulouse.
- tickets and hospitality will have already been sold on the basis of this being a double header.
- Leeds would have a five day turnaround with playing Toronto and Catalans back to back away. Player welfare.
- cost to get hospitality and ticket sales up at headingley within a couple of days is a struggle.

The game v Catalans away this weekend is surely that clubs requirement to full fill the fixture is it not?
The fact that the French government have now intervened by restricting the crowd on the day to only 1000 fans,An offer of Which Guash subsequently turned down,So why should the Rhinos bend over backwards to accommodate the Dragons at such short notice by reversing the fixture?

Before I am accused of having only my own clubs best interests at heart I will add that my party of 6 will now be stuck in Lloret de mar from Thursday until Monday without a game to watch

If the game was reversed this weekend then as we all are season ticket holders we would also miss a game that we have also paid for whilst being in the destination of the pre planned away game

So Guash can go and do one from all of us

For any Rhinos fans that wish this game to go ahead at Headingley rather than in Perpignan and also at such short notice,Would you please inform me as to how much this decision regarding the fixture being cancelled has inconvenienced you or does it simply mean that you don't have to go to the Bingo with your other half if its played at Headingley?
