Imagine if they tell Huddersfield to play their games in Liverpool.....

Not sure what your point is,south of France is a 1 off trip for all north of England fans.

| It's not exactly hard to get there and Beziers is not a patch on Perpignan, it's the Batley to our Huddersfield .
Those who do go every year have not 1 single complaint between them - and i include fans of every club i've spoke to !!
If you've never been get over there and see what you're missing fella !

| Perpig,it's just a difficult place to get to now Daz if you are being honest.
Maybe my gripe is with Ryanair,why if the Rip off de Plage beaches are so great,which they are why did Ryanair stop direct flights to boring Perpig,making it so much harder for RL fans to get to a game.

| They stopped flying there because the people who owned the airport got greedy and started hiking up landing fees etc.
Like i said i've no idea what your gripe is but Perpignan or Canet are far, far from boring places
There are still direct flights albeit from Stansted or Birmingham but there are airports at Carcassonne, Girona, Barcelona, Montpelier, Nimes, Beziers and Toulouse that are all within easy reach of Perpignan (by transfer/hire car or train, we book the trains before we leave so its straight forward enough) and having done a few of them they're no trouble whatsoever, it's hardly hard to get to. Same with any away match there's an element of travelling involved, this one's just a bit further but 100% the best one of the lot !!

My point is you are being selfish- I'm sure the catalan fans dont want to travel 100km for a "home" game anymore than hudds fans would! It's a one of game for you- not for Catalan fans!

Don't need to worry on that front- I can't ever go unless it's school holidays.

| Wanted to go to Perpignan - Canet beaches really ,a couple of weeks before we hit Jamaica but can't be bothered with it now,all the car hire shi'ite and accomodation.
Will the RFL wake up to the situation regarding fans getting out to Perpignan?

| Point being Perpignan is no more than a 'long weekend' for RL fans on top of holidays. It's become a difficult place to get to.
French RL obviously don't give a flying one for any inconvenience to English fans.
RFL need to call French RL out on this,they don't seem to care so why should we care about them.
Catalans at home is the one home game no one looks forward to,the French don't care less when they come to the north of england,so why should we care anything about them any more.

| Can't see the problem getting there - part of the fun's in the travelling whether flying to new places and getting the train (there's plenty of cheap routes in), or hiring a car.
On second thoughts, following last year's nerve racking exploits in hire car, get the train!!
Me & our lass are thinking about making a week of it, sailing to Spain from Weymouth and chugging along across the Pyrenees in the 'Love Bus' to Perpignan then up to Brittany for the return ferry.
Saw a decent parking spot in the town square outside Bar Britz!!

We're all on tight budgets! I'm planning a week's holiday with no accommodation, train or plane fares but just the diesel and ferry costs - plus the time off work.
Not exactly the height of luxury living in a converted plumbers van squatting in lay-byes!!
