As for people spending the week in the South of France maybe some will but I'm sure most would be going on Friday or Saturday to return on Sunday.

With the current economic climate and the Euro/Sterling exchange rate how many can afford to do that? We might be Pimm's-drinking yuppies, but we're not that rich! i wasn't intending to go anyway, but if I had I'd have booked to leave Friday morning and come home Sunday afternoon.

A. Club had no choice but to agree to the fixture change. They may have made representations to the RFL & it's broadcasting partner regarding travelling support but it appears that these have been ignored.

B. The RFL and it's broadcast partner would not have done this to Leeds, Warrington, St Helen's or indeed any other Super League club bar Celtic Crusaders.

C. The RFL has to work with supporters and it's broadcast partner to ensure that this kind of debacle does not happen in future seasons.

D. How much do Quins get paid for appearing on a televised match as the away side?????

E. If Quins fans spoke with "one voice" could this debacle have been avoided??

A. Agreed

B. Very much agreed

D. Probably not as much as the home side

E. Probably not we would have been ignored anyway!

What I don't understand is that I have just watched highlights of the Dragons Leeds game with perfectly acceptable coverage from a French broadcaster. If the reason for the switch is that Sky cannot get their gear from the North of England to the South of France by Saturday why can't they use a feed from the French or use their gear?
