Any chance we can have this as a sticky? I'm booking flights tomorrow from Liverpool-Girona (Thu-Sun) and will be staying in/around the Lloret area. I've no idea how to get to the resort from the airport although I'm guessing there's a bus/train service and from the the resort to the match on the Saturday (is there an official pick up by Catalan Sports Tours?). Any advice on travel etc would be much appreciated.

The match is played on SUNDAY for the cup game, there is something on the Saturday.
A group of us are going & staying in Calella at Hotel Olympic, cheap n cheerful

is the description.
Catalan Tours not running any transfers, already enquired. I have booked a minibus taxi for us cost of 300eur.PM if you want anymore info.

This was for next months game BBM, hence the title of the thread



. I'm just trying to put the feelrers out in advance. I'm sure there are likely to be a couple of hundred Salford fans over there for the league game so I'm assuming there will be some sort of match day transfer arranged.

sorry!!!!
Yes, majority of fans staying in Llorret & RedHazel organising coach transfer to game on SATURDAY


Catalans not doing anything for the Salford game at this time, as no one booked hotels in Costa Brava through them at either game. Speak to Janice at game re coach.

Hope this helps this time

S.S. I have sent you a PM

Sent you pm

Thanks RH / BBM. Just trying to finalise flights and will then pm you both.

Thanks for this SS. I'm waiting for the SNCF strike to sort itself out before booking anything as it seems to be worst in the SW area of France and I will be going by train. Is anyone else considering going by rail?

Do you not fly

You can get flights from Liverpool or Leeds to Girona, leaving Wed returning Sun for £47

(£77 if you are checking a bag in each way). Going by rail must cost twice that surely and take a hell of a lot longer.

No I don't fly..worried about global warming..

Could be seeing issues with flights again for this game..

Hope not

couldnt do that journey by road again!!!!!!!

Anyway, 15 of this time so cant see Bill getting them all in the car

Ill take the boot shirl seen as though im the smallest

I'm hoping that the title of this thread is an error, and that the game is on Saturday 22 May. But who knows?

If it's been changed to the Sunday like the cup game, can I bags a place on Shirl's roof rack for the journey home? (it can't be any less comfortable than a seat on Ryanair)

Anyone know if KO time has been confirmed - will be travelling up from Collioure on the Saturday and staying somewhere in Perpignan

Ta!!

Fixed

Sat 22 May
=#FFFF00Catalans Dragons V =#FF0000Salford City Reds
ko: [u20:30[/u, Venue: Stade Gilbert Brutus


Not sure if its local time or not though. doesn't say on the RFL website.

Local time, Orange TV are showing the game live so I've heard and wanted that KO time, heard we put a protest in but it fell on death ears at red hall! Money I suppose.

Gonna be a late night trip back to Lloret but hey ho its not like they'll be calling last orders

K O TIME NOT YET CONFIRMED! . spoke to someone called katy who works in the media & PR office at the willows and it has,nt

been confirmed as 8.30pm local time. it could still be 6 OR 6.30 was told to check reds.co.uk next week

it is summat to do with tv coverage.

Think the K.O. time will stand as it is.

does it clash with the champions league final kick off time?

New threat of airport closures due to volcanic ash - I think this is due to the already established ash to the south of us drifting over us as we get southerly winds for the rest of this week so will be affecting airports from Heathrow northwards rather than like last time when it was from Scotland down.

[iLet's hope the boys get over to France by air this time and who knows we just may be able to come away with some thing this time around..[/i
