Man of Kent Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Nice Easter trip to SW France possible with Toulouse playing Hull KR on Easter Monday. I also note Catalans are playing Warrington on Saturday 14 May and Toulouse vs Wakefield on Sunday 15 May if anyone was interested in a weekend trip.

So people in West Yorkshire can watch it without it clashing with lower league football? It’s a crazy decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daddy Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Most French sport takes place on a Saturday afternoon or Evening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnyia Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Or Sundays, even more baffling as the game in April is at 20h30 and good Friday isn't a bank holiday in France. Most people in France work until 6/7pm and 8 pm in shops. So they will have lost traveling fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShropshireBull Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Typical Rl. We must be the dumbest sport in the World sometimes . Was really looking forward to going to there on a weekend... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Ram Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I Believe both clubs where looking to stage at least one game at a neutral stadium with a large capacity & try to entice many French people to the game, not on a Thursday nite.

CornwallRL Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 OMG, I wish I had the money, the Ibis Hotel is a stones throw away from the SNCF station, and a fair walk to Stade Giral. I would be there. The atmosphere, even on a Thursday will be electric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most French bank holidays are on Tuesdays and Thursdays Monday Je Suis Malade/I am sick (So pointless going into work:) Tuesday Holiday Wednesday Le Pont (The Bridge) Malade usually again or maybe the car has broken down or no petrol due to strike Thursday Holiday Friday Pointless going into work as one normally knocks off at lunchtime, although might stop by the office to pick up ones luncheon vouchers So there you go Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheadle Leyther Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Plus both Toulouse and Catalans made to travel to Magic weekend when they could have had a 3rd lucrative fixture between themselves, with Newcastle filling the gap with a Championship match to start the magic weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
