Morning Guys

After reading the fixtures, very excited at the new season!

Thinking of maybe heading out to catalans for the game as it is on the bank holiday!

It will be my first time and I haven't organised the trip before and haven't got a clue where to start.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

Thanks

Having not been yet but have talked to others that have, the best option (not the cheapest) is to go with the club. you get to travel with the team as well. other than that the best option I think is to fly drive from Barcelona!

Girona Airport is closer, I have flown from there when holidaying in Lloret de Mar about an hour north of Barcelona.

Airports at Perpignan,Beziers, Carcassonne worth checking out

A quick check on Skyscanner suggests flights may be an issue this year. It seems Liverpool to Gerona or Carcassonne are not very frequent in 2014. Flights into Perpignan are difficult to find and seem very expensive.

More searching seems to be essential!

Not checked Beziers though.

Manchester to girona, Thursday till Tuesday. £109.98 return stay over in llrot de mar, easy peasy.

There are plenty of options to get there. My favourite route so far was on the train/Eurostar via Paris with GT - there's an overnight train down to Perpignan. Via Barcelona proper was good as well, I think SNCF/Renfe were on the verge of launching a non-stop service between Barca and Perpignan when we did it so should be even easier now.

Tried to make the logistics of going via Bilbao or Mille work for 2014 but the connections are too time consuming.

I looked into flights the other day and I'm considering Birmingham-Perpignan which, IIRC, came in around £85-£90 with Ryanair or Easyjet. I quite fancy taking my tent over and notice Canet Plage only looks around 8-10 miles from Perpignan. There's a Eurocamp there too which could be a decent option. Cheap as xhips as well,

not a lot of flites left anywhere, or hotels for that weekend , looks like there should be a few salford fans there next season. 5 days for me from birmingham stopping ibis . not cheap but who cares.

we will be top of the league by then.

Had anyone booked on the ryanair 6.30 am flight Manchester to girona the day of the match? , I did but got an email from them on xmas day telling me they'd rescheduled the flights till 7.30pm . Another reason to hate that Airline. Cost me an extra €50 one way fee on my car rental as ive got to fly to barcelona and fly from girona back to Charleloi.

We've gone Manchester to Beziers (Ryanair), fly out Friday return on the Monday. It's about a 1 hour direct Train Journey to Perpignan. Total cost £78.00 return. There are quite a few decent hotels in Beziers too.
Going to stop over in Perpignan at the Ibis on the night of the game. Total cost for Flights and 3 nights accommodation about £170.00

Flights- gerona usually the best option as cst will pick you up and you to Perpignan.

Hotel de France is a good option as it's smack bang in the centre next to the castillet and river.

Cheaper option is hotel de lodge next to hotel de France. It's a hostel but more of a hotel in truth.

Don't rule out staying in canet on the beach, could split your time between the two.

Then when you get yourself inside the Gilbert Brutus, enjoy the system for buying beer...
