The all conquering Catalans Dragons have received a great honour by being invited to play the famous Wigan Club at FC Barcelona's home ground, Camp Nou, in June 2019.
https://www.lindependant.fr/2018/09/23/ ... 705074.php
This important invitation reflects the international respect that Catalans have earned by their glorious victory over Warrington in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley, on August 25, 2018.
Some 8,500 hard core Catalans fans are certain to attend, alongside an unknown thousands of Wigan fans, who will be attracted by the famous Barcelona venue. However it will be important for the Catalans management to attract more soft core fans from France, as well as thousands of intrigued Spanish Catalans from the Barcelona region, so that the 99,000 capacity stadium looks good on British, French and Spanish television. |

But Toulouse has no cultural ties to Catalonia, so it would not attract many extra spectators.
The hard work has to be done in promoting the game in the Perpignan region, and in the Barcelona region. Arranging discounted air tickets well in advance for Wigan fans to have a lovely summer holiday in Barcelona, would be a good idea as well. |

London doesn't have many cultural ties with Yorkshire but it doesn't stop 50,000 of us going down every year to see a game. |

Why Wigan, a small northern town on the M62 and not the mighty Toronto wolfpack and their legion of ticket buying, game watching supporters, surely in the RL world they are the bigger pull and would help fill the ground more than a few thousand from the north of England?

If you think airlines will give 'cheap' deals in summer months on flights to Barcelona your are living in dreamland (or Chorley) |

WoW....as much as you are a fervent supporter of RL around the world, to call someone an idiot for simply pointing out that the OP has been banging a Toronto Drum for 24 months in a blatant attempt to get a rise from other posters is a tad harsh, as it is also breaking the AUP in terms of name calling and Youtube.... |

OK they're not going to get a capacity crowd but, this is excellent news for Catalan and I'm pretty sure that the Wigan fans will be well up for the trip.
The Nou Camp is a superb stadium, flights to Barcelona are cheap as chips and a good time will be had by all ,plus, some great publicity for the game, with the chance for Catalan to attract some new fans.

wigan obviously the right choice to play catalan, barcelona is a football mad city, so wigans' links to the premiership and european football will make them already known
other than leeds, they are the only likely choice imo
jealous!? of course i am

Airlines like hotels will give cheap deals if you book far enough ahead. The Catalans and the RFL need to confirm this event ASAP so as to make the early airline and hotel bookings possible.
I am not living in dreamland nor in Chorley (which I have never even visited), but instead in beautiful Sydney (for a short time). |

To be honest I not sure how much cheaper you want airlines to go. Flights to Barcelona are pretty damn cheap as a standard thing.
Don't think anyone should be moaning about the travel costs |

Barcelon itself or Girona aren't expensive at all, certainly cheaper than getting to Perpignan and far bigger choice on flights. |

The minute the fixtures are announced the likes of Ryanair and Jet 2 will be on it like a tramp on chips. Just check the prices on Friday flights to Barcelona or Girona and Sunday and Monday flights in the opposite direction. |

Great pictures of the Catalan team parading the trophy to a packed Nou Camp last night, surely theyve got to take one game on the road there again next year.

For tightwads such as yourself, consider a flight from London which will comfortably come in at under £100 return. Couple that with a Megabus or National Express down from the North and you're laughing. |
