I can't believe we're having to play this game with all the travel chaos. I know rescheduling would cause a few problems but if Catalans hadn't already got an advantage with the heat, when you throw in the travelling it will take one hell of a performance to get a result over there. Like DC, I've done 2/3 coach trips to South of France/Spain and it took me about 3 days to recover!!!

Let's hope the players use the adversity as a motivation to put one over Les Cats (not that they should need it) and don't use it as an excuse to throw in a shocking performance. Not that I'm questioning their professional integrity of course.

Is there any radio commentary on the game?

Guess only in French now! Phil K will have the same problems re travel. Good commentator mind.

So now the players are sorted what about the fans? have the lucky few who are going got a plan B regarding travel?

Please tell me your lieing?

It may foster even greater team spirit. Being such close proximity and in adversity can help "to throw the waggons in a circle". If this was John Kear in charge that's exactly the way he'd be talking. I wonder if they'd have made Catalans travel the opposite direction had the draw been different?

nope ...no lie they set off from the training ground some time this morning.

Just come up with another option, train to Plymouth, overnight ferry to Santandar, Flight from Santandar to Madrid, Flight Madrid to Barcelona, Train From Barcelona to Perpignan, only I won't get there until Sunday night.

Lets hope the trip doesn't take it all out of them!

coach trip,

best of luck to them,

as a coach driver , its a long one, no good shaun saying they gonna do plenty of stops, that wont happen,

one driver from salford to dover, he will take a 45 min break en route next stop dover poss driving time 6plus hours max speed 100kmph or 62 mph to u lot

then 2 drivers from dover to catalans, with a max of 21 hours working time from the moment they get in the coach at dover till they park up in france,

with a max speed of 62mph thats a long way and a long driving time poss 16 17 hours driving, if the roads are clear etc ,

so gud look to the lads hope they fly back,

Do we know if they got a ferry cos on the lunch time news they were saying there was a big demand for tickets and there were queues...Another thing Saints have put there kickoff back a little any chance we get the same deal we could probably do with it...
