Ille sur Tet is the home of Jean Galia, and a little statue is erected there for him just inside the stadium there although it's not the best commemorative artifact in France, its a nice little aside to the game being in the stadium there.
He is the father of French Rugby League, the union man who switched codes starting it all of in France.
Food/BBQ will be available at the game and also you will be able to get yourself a beer for €2 during the afternoon. Soft drinks etc will be available.
After the game, the local Catalan Supporters club will be putting on a mini celebration in only the way the French can!! Music, drinks, food, wine etc.
Easter Sunday in Perpignan is generally a quiet day with many bars/shops/restaurants closing. So what a great time to get out of town to watch some ARL and enjoy a few drinks.
A FUN DAY OF RUGBY LEAGUE IS PLANNED.
We of course welcome all supporters and hope you come along for a great afternoon!
Many Thanks
Wigan Supporters XIII
