Lots of flights have been disrupted to other airports though, as they need to fly over the affected area.

The backlog could indeed affect our game.

I fully understand that's not a good thing for the fans, but from a rugby point of view, this could be a blessing.

We've still got to play the game. Regardless of whether there are fans there or not!!

This can only be a bad thing, and i am supposed to be flying out Friday AM.

It will be clear by next Friday by the looks of things, FC will be expected to get there by sea/land if necessary I would imagine.

Shouldn't be. Game more likely to be called off imo.

it won't be called off, fc will do what salford and leigh did if they cannot fly, go by coach

Why?

You obvously have been asleep the last few weeks when football teams have been expected to travel.?

And then use it as an excuse for losing

Exactly... it has nothing to do with the fans!! The fixture MUST be fulfilled!!

Let's face it, we've used the massive disruption of a coach trip to London and Murrayfield as excuses before. May as well concede the 2 points now and save everyone the huge inconvenience.

Sad we actually feel like this though Mrs B.

The fixture should go ahead if it can be planned for, if however this particular ash cloud incident causes intermittent problems (as is been predicted) for airline travel then it could have an affect on our game.

I would also hope that the situation fans find themselves in is taken into consideration.

can't they just give Catalan the 2 points, it'd be another 2 points closer to sacking Agar at least

Why would it, there is a train service to France and easy to travel by coach. Fans will not be considered.

Agar isnt smart enough, Quick tell him to say this then he wont get booted!!

BBC five day forecast (TV not web) gives wind prediction for next Thurs to be coming from North West, worst possible direction for ash. As we are due to fly out from Liverpool to northern Spain next Friday, I'm already becoming resigned to the fact that we won't be going, will just fit in with the way this season is going.

Could the game be in danger of postponement if the Hull squads flights are cancelled?

I know that in the football teams were expected to travel by whatever means possible.
