We could get some good publicity about this which would help our franchise application.

BBC News 24 is asking for those affected by this volcanic cloud to text 61124. If some of us get there it will show the RFL and Sky that they need us in Non Relegation league.

Get texting.

Id go Saley 100% let us know mate

we are also considering driving to Carcassone!!!!!!!!!!unfortunately a full car load.

so no spare seats

Anyone know of any coach companies who would drive to France at 3 hours notice?!

Assuming the Touoluse plane wont happen, I'm looking at trains, pogo sticks, milk floats, space hoppers the lot, even checked out the ferry to Santander then train via Barcelona. Trouble is it does not leave Portsmouth until Sunday. Dont fancy driving because the weekend was all about a good drink.

It looks like half of Westleigh are doing the same because the Rail Europe site has gone down.

'Best' options so far are £275 to Avignon with Eurostar, arrive Friday night. Best being a word I am using very loosley. Common sense has gone out of the window, its now turned into a mission which is what Visa cards were invented for.

Be reet.

Once we're somewhere in France we'll worry about the rest afterwards.

Trains are on strike mate. Che on here has just flown from Morocco to Barcelona and has to get a bus to Carcassonne.

Oh b****ks.

And theres nowt but blue sky above us when 'the whole of the UK' would be affected by 6pm.

I reckon its a knee jerk reaction by the elf and safety nazis.

Completely agree, though it's hardly worth risking if they are telling the truth.

Maybe I was expecting big deep angry black Armagedon type clouds blocking out the sunshine, with odd men carrying sandwich boards announcing to anyone daft enough to listen that 'The End is Nigh - Repent Ye Sins', but looking out of the window I can see nowt but perfect blue sky.

Toulouse flight is now officially cancelled according to BMI Baby.

Call the bloody game off on account of the blue skies overhead

Right if anyone else is thinking of Driving to France from Leigh can you post here so we can sort a convoy

I'm considering it. Will know later.

I don't want to put the mockers on your plans lads but don't forget there will be 1000's of other people all trying to get on ferries and Eurostar. I'd hate for you to get there and not be able to get on.

Not looking good for the travelling Leythers. For those that are thinking of getting there by car/train/ferry (hope you have seen the film Planes, Trains, Automobiles) good luck, but you are totally crazy though.

RFL should have had a contingency plan for this happening really.
