Hi there,
Just wanted to know which other clubs have had their away games in France moved to a Sunday KO?

I know of a fair few fans that are now flying to France on Friday and back to the UK on Sunday, just before kick off....and let's say, they aren't very happy.

Surely SKY and the RFL/Superleage must know that reservations are made the minute the fixtures come out, as Ryanjet and Easyair bump the prices up as soon as they figure something is going on.

It does beg the question why choose that match? Hardly a match you'd look at the table and think hmmm thats a crucial game. Catalans v Warrington v Barcelona (both chasing top 8 and it's in Spain) or Catalans v Hull KR will have been better picks for me to televise from France.

There isn't a Sky Saturday match that weekend so that explains the Sunday switch but I'd be fuming if put in that position.


I think it'll be the first time a Catalans league match hasn't been played on a Saturday Night (barring Easter).

Cry me a river.

To change my flights to the Mon with Ryanair is more costly than the initial return flights. Plus the extra night accom not forgetting beer at 5 euros a pint.......and its 2 weeks before we go on holiday( which I had arranged when we didn't have any games and now we have the rearranged Bradford game in the middle weekend at home!!!)

I feel like a Wigan fan who's just looked at the league table

I do not want to sound too cynical BUT i think sky and the RFL probably put a lot of thought into it and the fact that it will only affect a small no of fans was part of the thinking.

Sky's thinking will probably be more along the lines of, "yeah, some some people won't like it, but how are you going to replace that big bag of money that we sent your way?"

He who pays the piper calls the tune

Hang on, the Cas Vs Cats game has been moved from a Sunday afternoon to the Saturday night Sky fixture .... Have the boards been jammed by complaints that since it is the French fans travelling to us, they're OK to be messed around for Sky ?

Does it work both ways or is it because they're French it doesn't matter ?

I haven't noticed any complaints from any Catalans fans? If it was an issue and their plans were scuppered then it would be equally as bad, yes. I wonder how many were making the trip from the South of France for a sunny Sunday afternoon in Castleford?

Freaking disgraceful.
Normally fixture changes don't bother me THAT much, but its a bit different travelling to another country for a break because lets be honest, nobody would go to france otherwise

Is that meant to be a serious comment?

Deadly serious.
Out of all the places you could go and pay £6 a pint, France would be the last.
I doubt anyone on here would go to Perpingnan if it wasnt for the game (well a couple probably have) so therefore it's a wasted holiday
