Mr and the Mrs going this year - we'd originally booked in Perpignan but yeah it seems like it could be quite rough in places. Rebooked to Carcassone and hired a car for the trip as was cheaper for 4 days than the train!

Has anybody who's going got a match-day ticket yet , Not seen any details from web-site regarding purchasing any

Been staying in Perpignan almost every year Catalans have been in Super League and never experienced any problem or come across it being rough.

Not sure where this perception of it being rough in places comes from.

On Trinity Twitter that they are still waiting for the tickets. They will post online when they arrive.

Were stopping in apartacity opposite station.if anybody knows if any good

Ok cheers Brenda

Don't know it but we are staying just down the road at the Ibis.

I've just done a lot of looking around, centre seems fine enough but deffo a bit ropey round the edges. Looked at reviews of various places and quite a few mention some potentially concerning issues.

Its probably me being uber-careful but first time I've managed to get there and want it to be memorable for right reasons!

We were in Perpignan when England drew with Algeria in the World Cup. At full time the streets were absolutely packed with people waving Algerian flags, driving round waving chanting and hanging out the sun roofs. Nothing happened though, don't think there's too much to worry about as long as you're careful.

Stopped there twice, very clean, rooms spot on. An Aldi 200yds down the street for cheap booze and nibbles. Taxi rank, bus stops and train station smack across the road ideal spot, enjoy

I guess that applies to most Towns and Cities. However Carcassonne is a beautiful place, nicer than Perpignan in my opinion but its difficult to get back from Perpignan on the Saturday after the game unless you drive.

The old walled city is not to be missed and I think they filmed Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves there. I'm sure you will have a memorable time and lets hope the game makes it even more memorable.

First time to Perpignan for me. Hate flying but the things you do for the club you love, eh? Me and Sr. Harrison making the trip Sat morning and coming back Sunday eve and cannot wait. Sure a few Whiskeys will get me through the flights. Ha.
