All travel/accommodation/plans/predictions in here.

0930 from Stansted to Perpignan on Friday, couple of beers and a bite to eat Friday night, early(ish) night to get up bright and early for a big day Saturday. Then try and distract myself from thinking about the football on Saturday, watch the game Saturday night, few beers before bed and a flight back home Sunday lunchtime.

We always seem to do alright against SL opposition, so whilst I think we'll lose, I don't think we'll embarrass ourselves, and should score a few tries. Hopefully a decent crowd will generate a bit of revenue for us as well, they've had a couple of five figure attendances this season I believe, so 5/6000 should be achievable you'd think.

Catalans 52-26 Eagles.

Mom: Brown
Attendance: 5811

Flying into Beziers on the Friday afternoon, few beers on the Friday, few more on the Saturday, few more on the Sunday.

Catalans 58 Eagles 56
Mom: Howieson
Attendance: 7435

0600 from Manchester to Girona on Saturday - transfer up to Perpignan and straight on the beers!

Fly back Sunday evening from Girona..

With Catalan not being at home for the past two weeks hope a few Dragons fans show up, reckon around 4,000..

Catalans 64
Eagles 16

M.O.M - Bergin - Even though he ain't playing
Attendance: 4,320

Same arrangements as Liam but I'll squeeze some food in I think before having a shandy.

I can't see us getting within 30 points but the last fews ties vs Superleague teams have shown us to put a good effort in and the team has done themselves and the supporters proud.

MOTM the more skillful and compact one of the Henderson clan

Do we go for balloons? Too late for Kazoos.

Think the flag and a lot of beer might have to suffice.

Just don't spill any on the flag cos you'll never hear the end of it.

don't put yourselves down - the Catalans made hard work of the Leigh game last season and were lucky to get the win

they have a habit of playing badly against the so called 'inferior' teams

Good luck Eagles and here's hoping you all have a safe trip down and enjoy the experience

You'll be getting food as well, not having you throwing up everywhere again

Again...? When have I thrown up in your presence?

I saw you on Street Crime UK

Just don't chuck up on the flag cos you'll never hear the end of it.

I'm on the same flight as Liam and Airbourne as well. Planning a similar day to Mr. Eagle actually, get to Perpignan in time for lunch then check into the hotel and out in plenty of time for the game. From previous experience, the buses to the ground go from in front of Le Castallet, which is a few yards from our hotel. (Anyone know if we need tickets for this service in advance, I went on Wigan's package deal last time so everything was provided). There are one or two places to eat/drink around that area if memory serves me right, and an open market at the far end of the square, whilst over the canal bridge is Perpignan's largest department store, where Dragons merchandise was on sale last time.

Sounds like a leisurely lunch for Eagles fans near the Castillet should be on the cards!

Have a great time everyone. Remember you all have to shout twice as loud in the absence of my big gob.

I doubt i'll be sick, only when I see the price of a pint probably..

sick ? you'll be positively apoplectic !!!

Going off Straugheir's Twitter, Q and Dane are out.

Dane being out isn't really a surprise with him having a cracked rib.

Q missing would be a blow but at least this year we do have a better squad and hopefully cover all round.

Misi to FB and Straugheir in at centre?

Ssshhhhh, don't give out tactics away, sanjunien may be a French spy

nah,keep talking.....I won't say a word,promise....

Bookies have given us +48 points, given our record in recent years against SL opposition it's a license to print money, surely?!

Speaking of money - the pound is at a 12 month high against the Euro!

It sure is, was shocked to get 120 Euros for £100 quid!

120 Euros for £100 quid?

So are you only going out on the Friday night then?

There's a cash machine next door to our hotel so yeah, that money is just for the Friday night!
