Optimist!!

Trust me, I was down the popular side, and I probably saw even less than you judging by that pic!

It was a ghost town - they are strict on Easter! Not sure if they are still behind the times but all the shops and bars were shut by the canal were fans generally gather in the town centre. Their were one or two bars open (including the irish bar if you know what that is) but generally the place was deserted. Suppose it depends if your support is of a decent number.

Me saying don't expect half of 5,000 was being really optismistic on my part in truth! Unless the matchday prices are going to be as cheap in comparison to your season tickets?

More will go to Cardiff. 2k to Bradford.

Really?
Booked to fly from LBA on the friday to Barcelona.

No flights back from Barcelona until the Thursday, was hoping to fly Saturday, watch Barcelona Sunday, go Perpignan Monday and fly back Tuesday.

If it had been a Saturday match could have flown Friday and come back Monday.

Has anybody found any decent flights to get back from the catalan game? ideally tuesday....?

It's Wednesday.
From Barcelona (BCN) to Leeds Bradford (LBA)
Wed, 27Apr11 Flight FR9296 Depart BCN at 10:55 and arrive LBA at 12:35

I'm ok with that because it gives us Tuesday to get back to Barcelona without having to rush after a late night on matchday.

You can go Sunday to Wednesday if you are prepared to travel to Stansted. That's probably the cheapest on offer flightwise.

Just seen this list! Excited for the first game at Odsal, would love to go to the catalan match but struggling with the flights so we will see!

Do yoy know who that is with please?

If you want to leave your 18th man at home thats fine with us
every little helps

Great for me but the car will be getting alot of miles its long way to Bradford from Suffolk.

I think Easter Monday in France is not clever, only 4 days after the Leeds match we have to travel there, plus for the fans, it will cost everyone at least a couple of extra days in accommodation, but much worse is yet again having to trail across to Saints through the M62 on a friday night (25/3). Away to Hull (fri 8/4) is not much better.

On the other hand the home opener against Wigan is a nice one. And if we are as i assume challenging for the title come August, then apart from the Wigan away game, we have nice home fixtures v Hull KR and Crusaders, and finish away at Wakey. No disrespect, but anyone would settle for that.

Look, a crap fixture date at Catalans is just normal, we'll never get a summer fixture there so we should just get used to it.

Ryanair

last game ever at Belle Vue Wakey v Bulls, i'm happy with that and i'm sure Neil Fox will be in attendance

Thanks for your help Andrea

Without turning this into a Catalans thread and the mods sending it to the sticky, am I right in thinking that I can go to Barcelona from Doncaster (once the flights go on sale on 3rd January)?

If so, would CST pick us up from the airport and drop us back off and also, where is the best/most convinient place to stay? Was in Barca this September and loved it but maybe south of france is lovely as well?

Any help and advise would be muchly, muchly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

There's a bus from outside the Gilbert Brutus that goes into the centre of Perpignan so just about any hotel in the town centre would be ok.

leeds bradford to caracassonne, fly out twice a week usualy

dates not up yet but will be after xmas, my pad here is available for those wanting to stay for a bit of a hol [urlhttp://viewtopic.php?f=71&t=141651&start=30[/url

Which flight operator is that with?

ryan air, dates will be up soon

you can fly bmi baby from manchester direct to perpignan on either the sat or sunday before the game, but the return flight aint till the friday after the match (ive checked)

Think I might do Catalans again this year after a couple of years break. Just not sure yet quite how we'll do it. The Barcelona route sounds good but at 5 nights away plus trains/food/beer etc the costs will be pretty steep so I can't decide what to do.

Might just have to say sod the cost and maybe see a bit more of the World, never know when your time will be up!! Ideally though I'd prefer not to have to travel back to Barca to fly home so we might just wait and see if we can get a flight back from Carcassone on the Tuesday.
