NO FLIGHTS until at least 7 pm tonight so our boys wont be flying out this afternoon then

BREAKING NEWS: NO FLIGHT FROM ENGLAND UNTIL 1:00AM SATURDAY

From the BBC site

Leigh travel to face Limoux on Saturday, with Salford visiting Catalans Dragons the following day.

"We are monitoring the situation and keeping in contact with the clubs," said a Rugby Football League spokesman.

After their flight to Carcassonne was cancelled on Thursday, Leigh opted to drive to Folkestone for an overnight stay before boarding the Eurostar train to France on Friday morning.

Leigh chief executive Allan Rowley said: "Today's volcanic eruption has caused chaos across Europe and unfortunately it became apparent at lunchtime that flying to France was no longer an option.

"Today has been a real challenge for us but, in the end, happily we managed to find some transport and are now on our way to Carcassonne."


so it appears that Leigh decided on it rather than the Rugby league.

any news on how the team are getting there.....and if they dont what will happen.

Science and scientists and facts and figures are all wrong then?? I suppose babies are still delivered by storks round your way then??

just been on gmr they are setting off this morning by coach to get there

christ they'll be knackered mate - have done a coach to the sud de france...30 f.....g hours!

that's us out of the cup!

Your catching the 3am ferry Im told

Just spoke to one of the players on is way to Salford and he says they r traveling by coach 25 hours plus so not ideal preparation but hey ho they will just get on with it

lets hope the travel sickness ones are fully dosed up and they sleep all the way there...

At least we had a Plan B to fall back on, but its not only the travelling down its the journey back, hopefully they will be able to fly by Monday if not looking at Thursday before they can get training again good job we have a Sunday game next.

I can't believe we're having to play this game with all the travel chaos. I know rescheduling would cause a few problems but if Catalans hadn't already got an advantage with the heat, when you throw in the travelling it will take one hell of a performance to get a result over there. Like DC, I've done 2/3 coach trips to South of France/Spain and it took me about 3 days to recover!!!

Let's hope the players use the adversity as a motivation to put one over Les Cats (not that they should need it) and don't use it as an excuse to throw in a shocking performance. Not that I'm questioning their professional integrity of course.

Is there any radio commentary on the game?

Guess only in French now! Phil K will have the same problems re travel. Good commentator mind.
