Maybe the season should kick off a month later, then we maybe wouldn't get this happening, gotta feel for all the fans who've made the trip.

Statistically February is the coldest month of the year. Downside of moving the start of the season would be a GF in November.

The best re-arrangement IMO would be to play Cats away in place of the home fixture in August (although we would then have to contend with the heat) and rearrange the KC game midweek for a week when the Dragons are already in the country (I don't know if they have back to back games in the UK but that would be favourite).

However, I'm sure the RFL will manage to concoct a much more convoluted schedule than that!

Doing a warm weather dance? It's still freezing so unlikely the pitch would be playable

Well, I was actually thinking more along the lines of covers, heaters, etc, and actually making an effort, but I guess it's just easier to take the mickey....

You mean the things that could and should have been used in the first place? Apologies for the flippant response, but the Catalan club should have been a bit smarter

To kill off the rumours Hull FC will not play Catalan tomorrow at a different venue, RFL tried to get game on tomorrow but not possible

Pitch in France. That is ice!

Re: Catalans Game to be rescheduled : Sat Feb 11, 2012 7:02 pm  

I wonder what state the pitch is at over at USAP.

Oh yeah, there's no doubt that Catalans should have done a lot lot more than what they have done.

@simonhul some basic covers on the pitch or an attempt to get the game on by the ground staff would do
