As has already been mentioned the August KC fixture should now be played in France and the re-arranged midweek game should be played at the KC when Cats are already over here.


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.

Don't start me on Bezier!! We arrived at our Hotel at 8pm to find our accomodation had been cancelled, with the festivals going on there was no accomodation anywhere. We got booked in on a motorway junction on the outskirts of Perpignan which only had that night free and next day the only option was to drive to Spain and we ended up in Tossa de Mar for 4 nights and had a 5 hour round trip on match day. Although as they say every cloud....we now never spend more than 1 night in France and stay in Spain instead at a snip of the price for accomodation and beer. A lot went wrong on this trip (their were other minor disasters) but funily enough it's the one we all enjoyed the most (apart from losing to Catalans).


Beziers was a disaster because of the timing - slap bang in the middle of a big festival - any other time would have been fine,but to choose that weekend was yet another example of incompetant french organising !

I never said they should did I? I just said what the I thought would be the best solution purely for logistical reasons.
To play a midweek game sandwiched between two weekends with games would be bad enough for any team but then to expect them to have to travel the distance required to go back means you miss at least 2 days prep time as a team.

It going to be very difficult to re arrange which is why my first suggestion is the Exiles weekend with no players from Hull or Catalans being selected for England or Exiles.

No easy solution really.

so the Exiles weekend is the obvious solution ?

the effects of spending a couple of hours on a plane to France twice isn't exactly gruelling is it ? can't imagine jet lag from Hull to Perpignan...
logistically it isn't a major problem,no different to driving down from Hull to The Stoop in fact, probably less gruelling !
Catalans are at fault due to the incompetance of a council gardiner - but even without this incompetance the game could have been called off at short nootice due to bad weather etc but the officials still don't have the flexibility to call off the game more than 24 hours before the game so trip could have been a waste of time anyway ? Just like any other game...
Last weekends NRC clash between Skolars v Toulouse due for sunday was called off on the friday to stop unnecessary travelling etc - now that's what you call being flexible so why can't the RFL apply the same rules to the SL ?

why, if it's going to be at the KC then they won't want that, and nor will FC fans......

If they organise some decent flights i don't see the difference between flying to France and sitting on a coach to Saints from a logistical point of view.

That match in Beziers was part of the festival, which had a very Catalan flavour. It was a brilliant weekend (apart from the result and Yeamo's injury). The Dragons even had a beer stall in the square, promoting the club.

I thought the Bezier one was rubbish to be honest too late kick off so couldn't get a train. 2 hours there on a bus and over an hour back arriving back in Perpignan at midnight. Narbonne now that was a different story brillian weekend decent kickoff time and 45 mins on a train. Back in time to have a good night in Perpignan
