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.

It doesn't apply to us this season as we've already played in Perpignan!! Yes it would be annoying for it to happen but it's risk we all have to take due to contracts with Sky!!

Still, that is a great deal of inconveniance. Absolute farce, really wouldn't be happy if it was me.

How about loads of us emailing "Boots n all" and see if any complaints get read out.
At least they will understand the frustration and inconvenience it causes to supporters.

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 ?

And the Hudds V Cas and Hudds v Hull KR have been moved to Friday from Sunday. Admittedly this will only annoy the lads I work with as I'll be disappearing to 'a meeting' at 4pm on those days.
