So yet again, a punishing schedule for the club. Travelling to and from France for Good Friday then playing again on the Monday. Nice one RFL. Toulouse should be made to spend easter here and play two away games Friday and Monday. Makes sense and saves the RFL money as they pay for all Toulouses travel

And then no doubt the following Thursday night game

The difference in cost isn't anywhere as much as you'd think - 4 nights in the Ibis opposite the train station costs £238 between two people from Wednesday 31st March to Sunday 4th April; it was £216 when I checked a random date in June so not too bad. Main concern would be that the place is basically shut down over the weekend, though I'm sure the Melting Pot will still be open

Yeah but we have to travel there once a year, not every other weekend.

I here they don't bring any fans abroad as apart from the cost of flights , hotels etc its the shock of actually having to pay to get into a ground that stumps them

So Leigh took more fans than anyone to Toulouse last year and the RFL want us to go back again when it's shut?

Are these people on glue?

A Halifax blazer and club tie? It doesn`t sound like any of our Directors let alone the Chief Eec`.

leigh play touluose on g/f nite and fly bac sat mornin and ave a game easter mon dont kno who against tho

Everything was shut when Fax were on tour there last year. That's one of the (many) things that annoy me about foreign teams in our leagues, our fans contribute to the local economy (however slight it may be) but it's not reciprocated for towns like Leigh, Halifax or indeed anywhere else.

I very much doubt leigh took more fans there then widnes did

Toulouse away Good Friday!
I'm not going
The only way to teach the powers that be a lesson is for nobody to go as a protest. This will deprive Toulouse of some 7000 euros which the RL will then have to find. Next year they might show common sense when arranging fixtures.
We could instead give £50 each to Leigh out of what we save on the understanding that its used to finance a late season signing or two and still be £400 in pocket - Leigh being £20000 in pocket based on 400 fans.

Well said that person

Apparently so.

I can't be d with a "whos got the biggest c**k' thread though, so you can have the title if you want to.

Had to post while the mb has =#BF00FFchanged, =#4000FFwith =#8040BFall =#804040these =#BF0040colours =#FF0040down =#0080BFthe =#4040BFside etc

Isn't Toulouse a touristy place ? So will it be actually shutters down for there? Afterall there will be people working on the match day at the stadium surely for example.
Don't really have a problem with Good Friday myself - as W1ganner Matt's example prices show its not too bad. Depends who we play Monday I suppose for the good of the team. I am not a fan of playing 2 games within 3 days anyway - its too much to expect from the players when giving their all really, but I suppose its all about money.
As long as Frog & Rosbif is open I don't care


=#FF0040A =#404080bit =#408040more =#808040colour

Apparently so; think it was mentioned amidst the post-season hoo-ha (by an official outside outside of LRLFC, I believe).


Only going by the experiences of the crust munchers in Perpignan over Easter, and that's a city where they know full well how much money they can make out of RL fans.

Went to watch Jean Michel Jarre in Lyon a bit ago, it was a public holiday, the Pope was there also and the whole place was shut. Thank god for duty free.

The Choirboys Organ.

I'd have suggested his flute, but that's more of a prod thing, isn't it?

I don't think you'll see the Pope play the flute Matt, no

And to take it back to something being loosely Leigh-related, I was just having visions of the Vatican bouncing along to Tom Hark

Heathens.

And proud of it.

Druid actually

You`ll be looking forward to the 21st Dec then.......
