I don’t think there’s any flights out so they might have to stay over anyway

Wonder what the implications are for Trinity as to try and get the game on tomorrow vs postponing and playing this one later in the season.
It will be expensive for Catalan to go back to France and have to travel again at a later date but, what about us.
The crowd for a Monday evening game at short notice is sure to take a hit and a week off would help our injury situation, avoiding picking up any new injuries and getting our walking wounded another week closer to playing must make it worthwhile not playing tomorrow ?

Why on earth is it daft. Catalan are still here and everything can relatively easily be delayed 24 hours, I mean Monday nights are so jam-packed.
The game had to be called off even though it's brightened up a bit.
Having actually been outside this morning the ground is totally waterlogged, forget about the wind even though that alone would make the game a farce, hard to walk on let alone run. People need to engage their brains a little, can you imagine how many players would get injured today! Still, as one genius has pointed out it's the same for both teams

Yep, but I doubt it will drain the pitch in time. I live on a hill and my garden is now a pond.

Correct, hardly rocket science. Any other team wouldn't be an issue, our bad luck its the only team with significant travel issues.

I completely agree that the game had to be called off.
I don’t agree with arranging it for tomorrow night to suit Catalans, which is what I’m getting from it. There’ll be many like me who’ll be peed off who won’t be able to go tomorrow.

Yes, seriously !! If the ground isn’t safe on a windy day then if it isn’t rectified straight away then NO spectator sport should played at the ground.
It’s obviously safe, so safety inside isn’t an issue. What’s the problem ?

Get a grip Vastman. Sport gets played in wet conditions all the time.

| When the match was called off all the forecasts were gruesome. Decision had to be made. I was out with the dog at 10.30 and trying to play rugby would have been farcical. Not just us . Hudds, Feath, York off.

ITotally agree that it should have been called off. The issue about injuries because it’s wet is exactly that.......... wet !

| I really don't know what the RL rules are on the postponement of games but this weather has been forecast for days - not just rain and wind - much more severe. Now for clubs over here, fair enough leave it till the day but I would be a bit annoyed if I was in charge of the Catalans purse and come all this way for it to be called off at the last minute!
As some have said, there will no doubt be financial implications for Trinity too, and it's not as though we will get it back later because the crowd will still probably be low.
