Too true. Why shouldn't we go to support our team away from home? I understand that the kick-off was moved in part due to the Six Nations game on the same weekend....remember when many were asking for our games to be moved last year because of Barnsley and Leeds United games?

If 'heartlands' clubs can't be successful after 100+ years, why blame others who get a chance and take it?

How much you get quoted?

mine was just short off £100

We paid £41.00 .... £24.00 there, but could have got £17.00 on a slightly later train, and £17.00 back.

Booked it about 6 weeks ago on trainline.co.uk

Total incompetence on the part of the RFL IMO. I know they don't want to be seen to be moving fixtures in recognition of the rara's but fecking hell, next week Wales play Ireland at home, one of their biggest six nations games whatever the positions of the two teams and they pitch up a game with a new franchise that has not established itself in the region, and on top of that the Wales/ireland game now looks like a six nations decider.

Sometimes you just have to think with your head and give way for the longer term good of the game, it wouldn't have needed a rocket scientist to give CC an away game for this weekend
