Still toying with the idea. Got caught out the first year we were over like feline. Booked flights to and stayed in Carcassone when it was confirmed as being there then they moved it to Perpignan. They bused us to the game at no cost because they had confirmed the game as being in Carcassone (as they did with Narbonne) but it was a bit of an hassle.

Just wish someone would confirm it.

If you stay in Perpignan I'm sure that Foti (CST) will be arranging transport to Montpellier but fancy staying in Montpellier if it were to be confirmed as there although Foti says it isn't.

The problem is that the longer you leave it generally the air fares go up.

I reckon the flight prices to Perpignan will be at their highest now, with the fixtures just coming out, as a lot of people will be booking now. The flight to Perpignan this year on the Friday from Manchester wasn't that full, and I reckon it might have been cheaper nearer the time. I booked mine when the flights and fixtures were announced, and I don't think it was as expensive again.

£120 Manchester to Perpignan return sounds reasonable.

£100 less than I paid. Book it, Danno.

When deciding on super league franchises, the RFL/SLE may consider adding to there rediculous lopsided equation, -1 point for not being able to announce fully your fixture list at the start of the season, for the benefit of travelling supporters!!
Teams are punished for not providing a high enough standard of stadia/facilities for fans, what about shifting a game 100 miles, and all the costs incurred? Call me old fashioned I'd rather get wet than hike to another ground to watch the game!!!

I nearly burst out into a rendition of one of the best tv theme tunes ever.

A lot of people on here myself included stay at the Hotel Aragon in perpignan except for last season when it was fully booked with a music festival in the city. Its cheap pricewise clean and comfortable the manager's name is Alain and for an englishman has got the best French accent ever nothing is too much trouble for the man and I am positive that plenty of people on here will recomend it. The tel. no. is (33) (0)4 68 54 04 40 otherwise as Sandal Cat says the Citea is also vg and is comparable pricewise unless with this being its 1st full season open the price has gone up hth.

Has anyone stayed at the Malibu Beach Resort in Canet. Thinking of giving it a try rather than staying in Perpignan as usual.

Of course that's if its not played in Montpellier - I wish they would confirm the venue.

It's been officially announced the Catalans game is to be played in Bridgend to help expand and promote the game in South Wales.

hi guys,
its defo in Perpignan

cheers
Dave

stayed there this year, it's not bad at all, it's not exactly a beach resort as it's a good 25 - 30 minute walk into canet itself and to the beach.
Wouldn't be gutted if we end up there again this time around.
Deffinately prefer to stay in canet though, absolutely beautiful place.

We stopped here which is in the square overlooking the beach-Not that cheap
