17 of us from North Wales have booked for this fixture. We're travelling from N. Wales to London on the Wednesday, staying over that night, and then travelling to Perpignan by train on the Thursday - to Paris via Eurostar and then from there to Perpignan via TGV. We're heading back on the Monday, so just going over 5 days.

It's my first trip over to France, but most of the others have been before. With Crusaders dropping out of the Super League and Toulouse Olympique no longer competing in the Championship One, there weren't any trips where I could watch my preferred team, so we thought we'd come over anyhow and support you guys - although we do follow Catalans too.

We may catch some of you on the train out, but if not, I'm sure we'll meet up in Perpignan. Hopefully it won't be hard to spot us in our Crusaders shirts.

Safe trip all, see you out there.

Enjoy your trip - we spoke at last seasons match about the trip out there. Unfortunately we won't be going this year (new puppy means someone has to stay with him....) Trip across Paris is fine - RER tickets from machines on the way to the metro... I would pop out of Gare de Lyon to purchase some bread/cheese/wine/beer etc for the trip. Train is V comfortable and great views from big windows - bar isn't bad either. For those who smoke there is just enough time at each stop to catch a drag or two whilst the train is on the station - many do.

Looks like this season will be the first for many a year when we don't go to a away match - can't think why this should be

I'll be sitting by the side of a Surrey road next Saturday cheering the GB boys on.

Seriously.... why is this thread still pinned? It's sooooooooo last year.

good question it should be removed.

I blame Gus

Now thats gone and ruined it. That was the 1 consistant feature that I would rely on in RL - a sticky about a 2012 trip - to keep that sense of reality. Now someone has gone and ruined it. Thanks. Perhaps we can add another stickie if we get Cats away in the quarters.... £189 return on the train - not too many tickets left though, out Thursday back Monday.

Already booked mine with 2 weeks in the sun and the cats game in the middle!

Well, you can always keep doing this, roger:
