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.

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

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

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

I don't think so personally, nor do I think the Exiles weekend is a good idea, personally I'd leave it and see what the CC brings, if by some stretch one side gets to the final then it's midweek at the business end of the season, don't do anything early in the season.

Seems the obvious solution doesn't it.
