| Doing stats work off TV at the moment for Gloucester RU match and saw the technology they had for their pitch. Massive cover (they called it a duvet I think) with heaters under it. Pitch measured at 3 degrees while outside of it was colder. All Super League clubs at least should have something like this.

| Feel for the fans who have travelled over there. What a nightmare. I know there is no control over the weather but sounds like more could have been done to get the game on. Hope the RFL try and be reasonable to you over the replay.

Added factor being Phil "Confirmed Hull FC fan" Bentham being the ref. Conspiracy theory frenzy building here. 2 points should be forfeited by Catalans. End of.

No it is not regular.
But there was no excuse for lack of pitch covers. We only drove from Carcassonne and I am angry, and so are my wife and children, so I can understand how angry the Hull fans must be. They paid so much money to come down and not only is there no game, but they can't even go swimming at Canet.
It was a poor performance from Catalans administration. They must be asked to explain by the RFL.

| It wouldn't matter to the majority of travelling Hull fans if the game had been called off two minutes before KO or two weeks before as they will have paid up front. If I was at home and they told me two days prior that the game was off I'd still go to Perpignan for the break. I'm not trying to be flippant just pointing out that when the game was called off is irrelevant. Money has been spent but unfortunately they didn't get to see a game. Maybe the Cats need to play their first three or four games in England each season to minimise the chances of this sort of thing happening again.

| I do feel for the Hull FC fans out there, but the idea that the Catalans have done this on purpose because they're afraid of playing you is nothing short of brilliant.

Should definitely be asking for the match commissioner to be taking a serious look. If Catalans haven't tried their utmost to get the game on in the way that many other clubs have been doing over the last 2 weeks, there should be repercussions. As a minimum paying for the team's travel/accommodation when re-arranged.

As I said mate I wasn't being flippant and I know you wanted to see the game but I assume you've paid upfront. Would you have stayed at home if the game was called off two days before you travelled? Or would you still have gone? You lose your money either way.

| convenient that they have 5 players out, pitch should have been covered, they owe a lot of FC fans some money IMHO.
