I think it's called 'integrity', not something a Union follower has to be concerned with following a code where Dan Morrino could play at outside half.

Besides which, if you're going to go to that abroad place you may as well take a few days to see the sights rather than fork out virtually the same money for a few beers and a rugby match.

Bet you live nearer to Stanstead than we do

Sometimes you have to think outside the box a little, I can spit on Leeds Bradford Airport from my bedroom window and yet have only flown from there on a handful of occasions in my life, with Ryanair using Stanstead as a major hub then its the obvious shoice for the cheapest flights and a night in any of the hotels there usually gives you several days free parking too, its probably cheaper than flying from Manchester and paying for parking fees there.

Using Southampton is like using Leeds/Bradford, no choice, no special offers and nothing in reserve when your one flight a week is cancelled.


Who do I think I am, Judith Chalmers ?
I don't think I even have a valid passport now

Flying from Leeds is great though - £5 taxi fare and set off just as check in opens. Did that for Paris earlier this year and doing the summer holidays from there too.

I'm thinking of buying a tent.

It'll pi[iss[/i it down for the rest of the summer if I do.

b@$t@rd SKY!!!!

Hope my beach rugby tournament in Canet is still on the sunday though!


TRANSLATION:

I booke for the same weekend last week, I go Friday night and come back Monday - £64.99 all in!

The reality is that unless somebody else can suggest an alternative source of several million pounds, the has to pander to the demands of Sky.

This isn't the only sport in which this happens. Football supporters from the Premier League right through to the Conference have put up with it for years and IIRC, it has happened in the past in the RU Heineken Cup.

We are following a sport that is bankrolled by television and, I dare say, we need Sky more than Sky need us.

Yes thats true but their was no need for the derision the OP received by some who imagine they are some kind of comic.

I missed the Leeds Hull match when it was switched and was pretty peeed off at that so to have the missing of the Quins match foisted on himhaving spent so much is grossly unfair and i am sure he is pleased with the reaction of the Southstander family.

My son and his friend are flying Liverpool to Carcasonne on Thursday, coming back Tuesday. They booked in December not long after the fixtures came out.

I only decided to go recently - I have to be back at work on Monday (taking an extra day or two leave is not an option, no-one in my office is allowed leave over the next two weeks). Therefore I'm coming back Sunday - not looking forward to travelling by myself but its either do that or not go.

If our game had been moved at short notice I wouldn't have been impressed.

its not short notice, there is over 6 weeks to the fixture!

6 weeks is short notice when you've flights and hotels to book. Whilst it can be easy to change hotel bookings most of the budget airlines charge to alter flights.

Thats where loyal fans are sorted from the rest of the bunch!
