Still, if it helps a few dozen Quins fans make a point it's a small price to pay.
Fans are at the bottom of the pecking order in professional sport, that ain't going to change no matter how much we complain.'"

Whilst appreciating Catalans themselves are not responsible for the change surely its worth bringing it to their attention also, c.levy@catalansdragons.com can't help with the translation to French I'm afraid  .
Aside from the loss of gate revenue from a reduced travelling support I would have thought they would be reasonably keen to keep local business, who must make a tidy sum from visiting fans, onside for sponsership purposes if nothing else. |

I think it is a terrible and I know how Quins fans feel. As a Saints season ticket from Northern Ireland over the years I have lost quite a bit of money on lost air fares due to games being moved.
Fair enough my flights average out at around £40 as I have the choice of 3 airlines from 2 airports in Belfast to either Liverpool or Manchester but it does all add up.
I usually book my flights to the home games when the fixtures come out in November to get the cheapest flights. But this year I decided to just book as as far as the end of the first batch of sky fixtures (end of May).
The problem with this is I can only really book 4 weeks in advance for fixtures beyond May which can mean higher fares.

Regardless of the who told whom first and what their reply was as another debate, Mr Spence really doesn't come across as an awfully bright chap does he.
Quote RFL spokesman Craig Spence says that Sky have not broken the terms of their contract.
"Sky Sports has the right, under its contract with the RFL, to choose any game it wants to broadcast on TV," he said.
"The contract states it must give four weeks' notice to the RFL and the clubs on which fixtures it wants to broadcast.
"In this case it has given six weeks. Unfortunately, it has caused a bit of inconvenience with the supporters and we apologise for that."
Spence also made it clear that there is little room for manoeuvre once Sky have given notice that they want to screen a game.
"We'd have to give Sky Sports a very legitimate reason why this game couldn't be changed," he said. "At six weeks' notice, people can change flights. They can change their hotel bookings.
"I appreciate that there is a cost involved in that and we apologise for the inconvenience but, at the end of the day, they've given us the notice.
"You could say that Harlequins are a victim of their own success because Sky Sports believe the fixture against the Catalan Dragons will be a great spectacle for TV." '"
Quins / Success, not normally two words strung together  |

Brilliant...
Anyway I feel for Quins fans, we booked our trip to Toulouse a few months ago and have prayed that our game doesn't get shifted to a thursday (not likely in our league tho).. |

Ultimate kiss of death
Our kick off time got shifted forward in Toulouse so, although it didn't cause a problem for me, it didn't make the margins of error that much tighter for those flying out on the day of the game etc. |
