Montpellier is the biggest city of the Languedoc-Roussillon, only 70 min. away from perpignan.
PERPIGNAN TO MONTPELLIER on the train is over £30 return taking over 2 hours to get there with a change at narrbone and 2121 train back to perp arrives at 2256, sounds a bit of a trip to me i. But you can't book tickets for another 3 or 4 months

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| I don't believe the local sponsors of Catalan Dragons will be happy about the move. Wigan is one of their biggest games particularly from the traveling support p.o.v.
They will not want to lose that revenue in Perpignan itself.
I believe from talking to a couple of sponsors that Wigan and Warrington take the largest following over there.

Thats exactly why Warrington were chosen for Barca last year and exactly why Wigan will be chosen this year for a game elsewhere.

And the Yves Du Manoir Stadium is beautiful
I really want to watch a rugby league game here
I would think that this sort of game would attract a bigger crowd than 12,000 personally so not sure that would be big enough. I would use the footy stadium. They went for a big stadium in Barca and got 18,000, I would hope for something similar. Events like this are very important are very important for not just Catalans but the whole of RL.

| I'd have preferred Montpelier, but I've booked everything for Perpignan (Flights/accomodation), we have 7am flight Mon so I 100% don't want it moved.
If they'd have told us they were still considering moving the game when releasing fixtures then many of us would never have booked Perpignan, I hope their mistakes don't cost me money.
Edit:- Actually just checked and it's 11am flight monday monring. It'll be interesting to see if the catalans offer free transport and other forms of compensation.

| I really hope they don't change it. For 16 of us the transport is booked to fly into Barcelona on the 3rd, non-refundable deposits are paid for the accommodation and non of us fancy travelling for pretty much the first two days of the holiday. Please don't change it!

It stories like that which makes me hope they don't bother changing it.
Unless they're willing to cover a full refund for anybody who's already shelled out cash for travel/accomodation etc.

One step ahead, emailed them straight away.
Whatever they decide no doubt we will all still go to the match, it would just be a nightmare for us if it was moved.

| The club care about what the fans think. If they saw there was many people already booked then I am sure they would not move it. If they could fund transport for a small amount of people then I think they will go ahead with the move.
Personally, I don't care if they move the game, for RL I hoep they do.

FFS if you're going to release the fixtures for people to book their trips - the make sure they're the bloody right ones!!!!!'"
%100 agree, I have got flights and hotels booked for two of us, already paid £250 deposit, when will these clubs realise you can not treat people like this.
Everyone knows it is not cheap to get to Perpignan and you get the best prices by booking early, you only have to look at prices now on the Monday BMI flight back to M/cr from Perps.
I hope the club listen to our views and tell Catalans yes we will play at Montpellier but in 2011 !
Who is going to reimburse me if the game moves !!!!!!!!!!!

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| Was Perpignan officially confirmed as the venue in the first place? I've held back booking because I thought it was still "tbc"
