I've been known to splash occasionally .... I am working my way back in to it after far too long drying out.

My best effort is two dives and two professional rugby league games in the same day ....

Well I am relative new to it but loving it all the same. I am actually just on my Rescue Diver course at the moment over this weekend. I have not had to think and work this hard since uni!

Unlike the two dives at least you did not have to worry about your surface interval between the two RL games in the same day!

Then you're in for a 'fun' weekend then ....



Seriously, if they send us to France at a half decent time of the year again in the future, google 'medas islands' or 'estartit' and see how far away it is from Perpignan, albeit on the Spanish side of the border.

I only managed one dive last year (my one and only dive of 2009), with my ears and work-shy train drivers putting the cosh on the other couple I had planned.

My personal circumstances have changed somewhat, so once I have a few oustanding things sorted out, then there's no reason to suggest that I won't be combining matches & dives again during next season.

Ive been the past 2 years and despite the weather in 2009 ive really enjoyed the trip, the matches were immense with the 2008 game probably the turning point in the season, bit disappointed that we lost this time.

in '08 we got Ryanair from Stanstead (never again......sardines) but this year just gone we went with BMI Baby from Manchester which was better

its expensive for beer and the like but if you find a bar then try and stick with them. Myself, my brother and my friend got involved with the people in the Catalan 'Sports' Bar just outside of the centre and during the l'USAP celebrations they got us VERY drunk for nothing and good times were had by all

New Christina is very good and very friendly. We have stayed there three times.
your only problem is that it is Easter weekend and most places are closed on Easter Sunday as we found out last year.

That's what I suspected might happen with France being a 'catholic' country and Easter Sunday being one of the most important dates in the Christian calendar.

I might have to go for the option of coming down on the Monday morning ... Anyone know / confirm what time the game is likely to kick off at ? (afternoon ? evening ?) and will it be in Perpignan ?

The game is planned to be held at the Aime Giral (the Union ground), not Gilbert Brutus

Is that where we went the first couple of years?

yes, which will please G1, because it is close to the sex shop!!

And closer to the town centre ....

Afternoon or evening kick off ?

Excellent! Anyone for tennis?

is that some sort of strange sex fetish you have?

I grew up in the 70's and 80's! That poster of the lass lifting her tennis skirt to scratch her backside is still a favourite.

Indeed ! That's the best part of tennis ... The drinks breaks !

Will this be the last change for this fixture? Don't want to book anything if sky or Catalans are going to change anything else.

Its 10hrs from santander or 9 from bilboa, but the treck down to southampton for the 2 day ferry crossing make it a drag, you can drive down from calais in 11hrs on the motorway and do-able in a day with 2 drivers or pro plus

According to the German State Railways Timetable website, the fastest possible trip Perpignan - York on a weekday is a mere 11 hours 02 minutes.

Dont know but they have a decent RL stadium there

This is the reason why the game has been moved to the Aime Giral, so they can build the new stand at Gibert Brutus. www.edi-tender.com/spigao/Visual ... PLAN21.PDF www.edi-tender.com/spigao/Visual ... PLAN33.PDF Looks like they will have a really nice stadium, possibly one of the best in super league by looking at that picture. The side with no stand, what is that? is it like a media and conference centre?
