Did anyone see that guy bounce down about 6 rows of seats just after the final hooter last year?

Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

I went to Montpelier foe a couple of nights before Wire played at Perpignan. We had a great time. The public transport is superb, the town is spacious, modern, and clean, and the beaches were excellent. We stayed in an Apart-hotel that was cheap as chips.

So where did 18k come from?
Either way, whatever the reason. They got a big crowd there and should try and make it work.
It did make a loss but surely it makes sense to try and expand the game there when so many people went to a game.

| The majority of the crowd were from France, then Warrington fans with Barcelonins a distant third. I understand what you're saying but wouldn't it be better to take the game to a city where there's a rugby league following, a rugby league club? Rugby league isn't even played in Barcelona.

Clearly there is a desire for a game when its played in Barcelona. If it could turn a profit then it is definantly worth while. I don't know the figures though.

Wembley here we come!: |

| I thought Montpelier was a great place and really looking forward to going back there. It didn,t help last time with the unseasonal weather and that the Union team had unexpectedly got through to the final in Paris, I am sure this must have affected the crowd. Some great beaches just down the coast and I will be making at least a weeks holiday out of it, maybe even 2!

Looking at it from the other side though, if you're a Catalan fan you'd surely want all your home games played "at home". Other teams don't play "home" matches at various venues throughout the season, why should they? (Obviously Saints was a different issue, and us at Bradford was forced).We are playing against Catalan in a league fixture, for me the game should be played in their ground (or as near to as possible), otherwise I think it's unfair on their supporters who turn up every week. Also as has been said, Barcelona isn't a rugby league area, why is there a desire for it in that area if most just travelled from existing RL areas to see the match?

| Wasn't there talk a while ago about having a team in Barcelona playing at the Mini Estadi next door to the Nou Camp? Has this just died a death now?
