yes it was - a great weekend of festivities - a good game but bad news for travelling fans regarding availability of hotels & travelling etc
I enjoyed it and managed to book early at a hotel in Narbonne - hundreds of other fans were not so lucky - as I said,great day but bad planning IMO,Narbonne or Montpellier would have been a better venue for that weekend,again IMO |

| Quote: Chris71 "Why should the home fixture with Catalans be changed to the away fixture? How does the club benefit from this apart from not travelling mid week?
I doubt Adam Pearson would want the club to lose the income stream of crowd on weekend for a crowd on a mid week, nor should it.
Not as easy as just swapping, still think best solution is the Exiles weekend or midweek at neutral venue in UK.'"
Disagree, Catalans at home in August is likely to be our lowest gate of the season with many families likely to be away on holiday, re-arranged midweek outside of school holidays would likely draw a bigger crowd. Midweek away in France would be bad news for the team and travelling fans.
If as being rumoured the Exiles game is to be held at the KC then I think that weekend would also be ruled out, so we are left with the option of a date if both teams get knocked out of the CC, an option we don't want to have but semi final weekend in July might work......no easy solutions, but I'm against midweek in France. |

who will the die-hard FC fans follow - England or FC ?
maybe the Cats v FC game could be shown on the big screen at the KC to keep everyone happy ? |

| Quote: Chris71 "All depends on flight times in and out. If they travelled by coach to Saints as the example given once the game is finished they can get back on the coach and be back that night ready to start the next day as normal. Taking into account the usual flight times, travel time to airport etc then this isnt possible and the team would lose in affect 2 days of preparation time.
Unless someone charters a plane direct to and from Humberside of course.'"
East Midlands is an hour, someone else flies ahead with luggage etc. Players arrive 30 minutes before flight, flight is 11:15am, arrive CCN at 14:15 (local time), at somewhere to train on the Monday evening by 7pm, train Tuesday, game Wednesday night, Thursday am flight back, next game Sunday.
losing 2 days is just not going to happen,1 day max (half day for each flight) |

Only an hour to EMA??? Thats some going even by motorbike. Even on a good day in my car it takes on average about 1.40hrs so around 2hours on coach. I do a run 2 to 3 times a week which passes EMA and I have a heavy right foot & I'd struggle to do it in an hour with clear roads.
The point I'm getting at is that it really breaks up the week and all the planned training structures they will now doubt be working to under Gentle. In reality no matter how you do it, it will not be far off losing the equivalent of 2 full days training.
I dont know what the perfect solution is as quite honestly there isn't one.
Why is the KC an issue if the Exiles game is to be held there? As I thought the whole point was for Hull FC to play Catalans the same weekend, which would be played in France??? The only issue is that no Hull or Catalans Players can be picked for England, Exiles, Knights or France.
That is for me the better and fairest solution.

It was. I can just about remember drinking sangria scooped from the bottom of an ice cream freezer at about 1am before trying to remember where we were staying in French for the taxi. |

beziers was a terrible choice for the majority of away fans, we couldn't even get close to the town, even with catalan sports tours! therefore we went straight to the stadium and had nearly a 3 hour wait for kick off, luckily we found a camponile restaurant close by for a meal

same problem for the 'home' fans travelling from the Perpignan area - they simply picked the wrong weekend for Beziers - anywhere else would have been fine |

Why the hell people think Catalan should/will forfeit home advantage is crazy talk.

I dont think anyone genuinely does, just talking about alternatives. |

Any game to be played anywhere except in Perpignan isn't an alternative surely. |
