Just checked the club site and it is on there to if you want confirmation

Re: Kick Off Delay : Fri Apr 16, 2010 5:24 pm  

Heard the same. We are hostin a touring amateur side prior to game

Toulouse are arriving via ferry/coach at KR by 6-6.30pm so game will ko at 8pm.

Perhaps we should have done what Widnes are proposing to do and that is to play it on Sunday if the team are delayed. It's all right delaying K.O. for delayed SL clubs but to travel from France and with the journey they will have had they are going to be shattered. I know they are only part-timers and will need to get back to work but they may struggle to get back home anyway.

Sunday was an option for saints but Toulouse can't do it because their players are part time and working Monday.

I wonder if Joyce Molyneux will comment in the League Express on how it's been so unfair on Toulouse.

Who the feck is this Joyce Molyneux you keep banging on about?

It's a shame for Toulouse that, it'll all seem a tad surreal. Hopefully they won't have to jump straight back onto a coach afterwards as well.

Are you taking them up to The Bird for a pint afterwards?

Yeah, these semi pro French boys need to see some glamour. Instead of a flight over and a nice day spent at the home of the most successful side in Super League, their experience will be more akin to a Sunday league football team. Getting ready on the coach, walking straight onto the pitch and then getting back onto the coach with a tin and some bruises.

Aren't these guys also meant to be playing Featherstone away on Thursday (Sky). This is going to be a tough time for them - especially if it involves a coach trip back to France and then back to England on the Thurs.
