| Can't believe after breaking the record for away fans last year the league gives us a February fixture. Looks like they have thought about what team will take the most numbers that time of year
and come to the conclusion the f.c faithful won't mind getting the sh@## end of the stick. Same applies to magic weekend. I understand the reason but seems like the more you give to the r.l the more they take advantage of it instead of trying to get other clubs away support up to our level

This is just paranoia.
Why should league fixtures be based on prospective attendance of away fans? We've been pretty lucky with Catalans fixtures over the years and we cannot expect to play there in June/July every year.
This is when we've played there since they joined SL. I don't think we have any right to complain

2014 June
2013 June (plus a Cup game in July!)
2012 Feb - postponed to July

I agree - we've managed 2 Bastille Day weekends in the last few years as well!

Maybe so but the fact that 2 of the worst followed teams in Salford and Huddersfield have got April and May fixtures really peeves me off. Surely would make more sense to swap one of them. I'm not saying we have a god given right but when we take as many away fans all over the country lining other clubs pockets yet getting little back it would at least seem our support was'nt being taken for granted as I think the magic weekend shows it is. If you was to ask catalan which club they would rather visit April/May it would be a no brainer imho

i think you are being a bit selfish imo
just because we took the most last season doesnt give us the right to have the best month for fans to go, after all it could have been the club that wanted an early fixture
why should 100/200 salford/hudds fans miss out on a decent holiday fixture just because we take more?
as others have posted, we have had our fair share of favourable weather months, give others the chance to have theirs too

Been the last six seasons but made the decision not to go regardless of when the game is in 2016 as i plan on going to the west coast of America in 2017
Like you say, can always watch it on sky
Went in February when the game got called off a few years ago, so learnt my lesson then, so definatly wouldnt have gone even if i wasnt going to america the following year

Of course you have always believed having a big following makes you are a big club. Now taking a few more supporters away to Catalan means you should be allowed to pick when you go there. You really do have a twisted view on how the world and the RFL work.

| Whilst a summer fixture might be better for the fans, it's the lads that have to go out and play in the awful weather. After Wakey away last season, and watching them play Catalan in 2006 & 2009 in ridiculous heat, I have no problem with a February fixture.

There was me thinking you got two points for a win and that was how you moved up the table. Why does it matter when we play them? You either go or you don't.
