| Quote: THECherry&Whites "In the summer test match, 19000 at the smaller Mile High Stadium looked ridiculous on tv. Why do we keep persisting in taking the game to iconic stadiums without the demand being there? It consistently makes us look amateurish. One of the unique aspects of watching this great sport is the atmosphere created by us, the fans. If we want to grow the sport in Barcelona (which I am sure every one of us does), it needs to be played at a stadium that can create that atmosphere and inter-rivalry comradeship that is unique to our sport. Mini Estadi first and then if that gets sold out we move to the RCDE. To ergonomically grow the sport is the way forward and not trying the “Big Bang” like this. One day we might just get to see the Nou Camp bathed in blood and gold banners from top to bottom and a load of pasty Northerners looking around them in bewilderment!'"
Wow, your team gets invited to play at the Nou Camp and this is your response?
This is an amazing gesture from FCB and a superb opportunity for some positive press.
Not a Catalans or Wigan fan myself but I'll be going over for this. |

Back on topic, this is good news for both Catalan and RL in general.
Due to their profile, "everyone" loves anything connected to Barcelona and RL may even get some national TV coverage for this event.
It can only help the Catalan brand and is a real positive for the sport, the Wigan fans will be there in decent number, along with plenty of curios new fans.

No it isn't !
FC Barcelona will receive a fee for the rent of the Nou Camp for this event & probably all bar/food sales etc too, do you think that the LSV, Headingley, DW etc stage RL International's & pop concerts gratis ? |

It could be good if they back it up with a really big effort to get as good a crowd and interest in the match as possible. Hopefully it’s not just a case of they’ve booked the venue and just expect/hope the fans to turn up in numbers based on that alone. |

The Leigh and Wakefield fans mentality......
Say something negative about any other team than theirs - Its an opinion

The last time rugby was played at the nou camp, 2 years ago between 2 french rugby union teams, there were 99,000 people in attendance.

I think they did ok last time Catalan played in Barca and I would expect an increase on that attendance when they play Wigan next season.
Having said that, it all depends on hoe much advertising / promotion goes on prior to the game, which for me, is the single biggest let down of our sport. Mickey up in a brewery springs to mind |

When were we invited to play at the Camp Nou? Must have missed that one. |

| Quote: RoyBoy29 "190 miles from Cracassonne [sic] to the Nou Camp'"
My farm house (where I often sleep after I attend Catalans home games), is not in or just outside Carcassonne. It is 10 miles southwest of Narbonne, and thus approximately 150 miles from Camp Nou.
You are confusing my farm house with my villa, which is near the centre of Carcassonne (and from where I often travel to and from terrific Toulouse). |
