Catalan ground attendance limit cut to 7,000 for our game due to the building of a new stand (as we are not one of the clubs who will play at the Aime Giral). Last years attendance for our game was 8,775, the year before 8,320. It was even 8,120 in the March fixture. 7,325 in 2007.

In a nutshell, paid for flights and hotel, and now it looks like it will be a battle to get into the game. Great!



And I bet it will rain.

Oh dear that could cause major problems.

can you get advanced tickets?

has any one said its actually going to be in perpgnian yet??

last i saw it was still tbc?

Foti confirmed it would be in Perpignan shortly after the idea of Montpellier was raised, IIRC.

hi.. from wat i read this building work will only affect 4 games and they moving those games to perpignan ru ground.. dont think we are affected..tim

Way I read it was that they were moving the "bigger" games, with work starting after round 3.

"Ground capacity will be cut to 7,000 until the work is completed and the club confirmed today that the home games against Leeds Rhinos, Bradford Bulls, Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves will be switched to the city’s 14,000-capacity Aime Giral Stadium."
From the Super League website.

Don't worry Slug.

The last two seasons I sat in the main stand and I roughly counted how many it holds. Then using that as a basis to calculate the smaller stand opposite and our lot behind the sticks, I got the gate to between 6000 to 6500.

I admire your counting skills after a day on the drink. I got the figures from the Super League site.

Quite sober as I drove to the game



Where have you been, didn't you realsie that SL is no longer a sporting contest but an Ar8se licking contest. Figures posted are often very optomistic and often designed to give the impression that my club is better than yours.

Anyhow its up to you but don't worry you'll get in the stadium to see the game

I would hope Wakefield would make tickets available as soon as is possible for travelling supporters to purchase.

I too have booked flights and accomodation and i would be well fecked off if i couldnt get in.

surely the club should chase this. i too have flights and accomodation booked and last year the club didn't have tickets and the previous year no junior tickets (had to exchange at the gate). i wouldn't be very happy if we went all that way and couldn't get in !

Agree

hopefully someone from the club will pick up on this and maybe comment,to put peoples minds at rest that have already shelled out to go over to France.

I know club officials read these boards but it wouldn’t hurt to for those directly affected to give them an email making them aware of the situation.

Have done

Are you going?

No mate, will do one day though.

Emailed the club on Tuesday and not even had the courtesy of a reply!

How shoddy is that!!

In fairness to the club they may be waiting to verify whatever information they may receive from France,whenever that information is relayed.
Patience is a virtue and all will be well that ends well.

Which is a fair comment.

But how long would it take to just send an acknolwedgement?

Tickets for the game can be obtained from Catalan Sports Tours (Foti - link on this site). I e-mailed David Foti and he told me that the tickets are with other away fans and are priced at 15 Euros (no cover) which I think is the end of the Tribune Guasch or 25 Euros in the coverd Tribune Bonzoms (Main Stand).

We usually sit at the back of the goal but as its planned to cover this end it may be closed for our game. I think I'll get my tickets from David Foti and sit in the main stand. I'm sure the club will get some tickets but with Foti I'm pretty sure your tickets will be guaranteed.

Decided to stay this time in Canet for a change. Anyone else staying or stayed there before? Any information on bars, taxi costs from Perignan would be appreciated.

bars plenty and all good
taxi costs was about 25-30 euros each journey 2 years ago
dont get the maniac one who drove us though at about 120 mph!!, well we did tell him we were late!
get the female taxi driver with the lovely english accent and the soft brown eyes and tanned legs we got on last morning, but be prepared to not be able to tell her anything due to dribbling!

I prefer Perpignan to Canet. Also I always hire a car over there. Your two trips to the airport and the match trip will cost you more in taxi fares than a full weeks car hire.

Fair point but I like to get away from the car for a few days and have a drink or three.

There's a reasonable bus service from Canet to Perpignan too. Can't remember how much it cost, but it's a lot cheaper than a taxi, obviously, and will at least cover you for the journey to the game. Takes about half an hour, IIRC.
