Worth flagging this up in its own thread.

Seems Catalans have decided to switch the game next week back to Catalans normal home ground of Stade Gilbert Brutus instead of the Rugby Union clubs Stade Aime Giral.

Worth stressing that the normal away end isn't there now (it's being renovated) so it will be a pretty tight squeeze I guess for Wigan fans. If your going make sure you have ticket ASAP. Can't help you in regards to what happens to tickets already issued. They'll still be valid I assume, wait for the club to make an announcement.

The Kick Off remains 8:15pm Local Time (7:15pm UK) and will be televised by Sky here and Orange Sports in France.

Thats a bit of a balls up

Yes just wonder why they have waited till a week before the game to change to venue after buying my ticket its going be a nitemere for all wigan fans like myself now where do we sit, they must be expecting a big crowd or why else would they change the venue of the game.

What on earth has gone on there?
It's a tight fit with us allin when the stand behind the sticks was open.
It'll be very tight and I hope we all get in!

Cheers Bilko for the info

Just a heads up, when FC played there earlier on in the year it was an absolute nightmare! They tried situating all of the Hull fans in a temporary stand and got it very wrong. I presume they didnt expect so many to travel over, but there was a serious H&S concern as the stand was massively overcrowded and consequently they had to shift people to the other side of the stadium. Hopefully they will have learnt their lesson and will be better prepared to deal with a big following of away supporters.

yeh mate, had a chat with the club and let them know about the signage at both stands , people didnt know where they were sitting . should be sorted

cheers

Will we be ok buying tickets on the day?

Where are we siting/standing, nothing offical from our club yet and we are less than a week away

is this Catalans getting revenge because we would not switch to Montpelier? you cant beat a good conspiracy theory.

Hopefully the club are trying to get as much info from Catalans as they can before they announce anything.

It does seem very late for them to change their minds though.

no the game has been made all ticket, get the ticket from the club asap

the game has been made ALL-TICKET. If you are going to France please ensure that you have a ticket before getting to the ground otherwise you may not be able to gain admission on the day.

Anyone who has a ticket for the game at Aime Giral will still be able to use this same ticket to gain admission into Stade Gilbert Brutus'"

So we will now be split in the crap seats either side of their singers(temp stands)

It's a real shame this, the game would have been a huge atmosphere with a big crowd at the RU ground.

This will ruin the away fans atmosphere as we are now split up. I say everyone wanting to sing their hearts out goes to the one nearest the away end!
