Help If you are thinking about booking a trip to watch Cats : Sat May 30, 2009 4:28 pm  

If you are thinking about booking a trip to watch Cats at home BEWARE. Sky have just moved the Quins game after we have all booked and paid for flights,trains car parks and accommodation (kennels and catteries for pets). 95% of the fans now have a trip booked at £300+ (it is expensive as catalan tours only go to Bradford airport therefore we have to travel independently) and cannot even see the game. We will not see the game as it is being played on the Sunday and even if we went to Perpignan instead of wasting flight and accommodation money we would not be home in England in time to watch the game on SKY which really rubs salt in the wounds. SKY have indicated they will move games as and when they see fit. No support from the club and none from the RFL. Please contact SKY and RFL and show your disgust. It may be your fans next time, if not this season next.

By the way, the Cas Vs Cats game has been moved from Sunday afternoon to Saturday evening to pander to Sky TV ... Have you contacted the RFL or jammed the message boards with regards to potential messing about of their fans travel plans ?

No only because I was not aware of it. We have already had our Hull v QUins game in a couple of weeks time moved from Sunday to Friday after a number of us paying out for train and coach tickets. Now the game is a friday most of us are working and can't go so have lost money. Unlike up north we are not in a position to change plans as easily. We took the Hull game on the chin as £60 per head is one thing but £300+ quite another. I was not aware of the Catalan game and I expect their fans are equally as displeased as we are. Flights are booked at the beginning of the season, their money will be wasted just as ours is and I hope they try their hardest to gain support on this as well. As I say it could be any team in SL and fans should support each other over this.

That's really poor. Did this ever happen last year? Why can Sky not put the game on on the Sat evening, just move it forward an hour if necessary.

I hate this messing about with fixtures. It's not fair.

Let's face it, if you had played us when you were supposed to you'd be even closer to Celtic Crusaders. At least by the time you do play us you'll have had a chance to find some form

A good version of "Memory" will make all the hassle worthwhile.
