fly from liverpool its only 20 mins from widnes

I doubt Toulouse will play twice over the easter weekend as the two open weekends they had off last year were major holidays in France.

In May they had the VE day weekend off and then they only played easter monday in Batley because in France when there is a holiday, everything closes. You can't do a thing. So it's unlikely that any games will be scheduled in Toulouse that weekend for championship teams.

The RFL as much as idiots as they are, would always schedule local derbies as best they can for Good Friday! So i think Toulouse will probably just play easter monday again and most likely in England!

May not have been the Fax Chief Executive,but he had a Halifax blazer and club tie and had in his pocket the 'draft' fixtures for the Championship Clubs - all Clubs fixtures from Week One. I got a gander for just a minute and spotted the Toulouse v.Leigh game at Easter

defo toulouse away on GF

Poor move from the RFL - if true - considering our game with Widnes has become the traditional good friday/maundy thursday game.

Tradition and the RFL in the same sentence come on!!!

I don't dispute any of what you are saying here, but why would it cost us a fortune to travel to France, but wouldn't cost the French much to come here?? Putting all the prices up at holiday times is not just a British disease you know!!

Thing is do the french fans travel? especially in the same numbers as ours did last year.

Point taken - but travelling to the South of France is something people might do at Easter whether there is a game or not. It is unlikely the frogs would leave their weather to spend Easter with us in Leyth.

So yet again, a punishing schedule for the club. Travelling to and from France for Good Friday then playing again on the Monday. Nice one RFL. Toulouse should be made to spend easter here and play two away games Friday and Monday. Makes sense and saves the RFL money as they pay for all Toulouses travel

And then no doubt the following Thursday night game

The difference in cost isn't anywhere as much as you'd think - 4 nights in the Ibis opposite the train station costs £238 between two people from Wednesday 31st March to Sunday 4th April; it was £216 when I checked a random date in June so not too bad. Main concern would be that the place is basically shut down over the weekend, though I'm sure the Melting Pot will still be open

Yeah but we have to travel there once a year, not every other weekend.

I here they don't bring any fans abroad as apart from the cost of flights , hotels etc its the shock of actually having to pay to get into a ground that stumps them
