Catalan weekend : Mon Mar 09, 2009 3:29 pm  

For those who traveled to Catalan how did you rate the weekend?

I really enjoyed the two days, stayed in Lloret and couldnt fault the weather on Friday, sat a beach bar all day and got a bit of a tan then watched Hudds n Hull at nite.

The trip from Lloret to Perpignan went really smoothly then when we got there the beer was way too expensive but hey that was to be expected. Then the lads produced the goods on the pitch

I GIVE THE WHOLE TRIP A 9 OUT OF 10

Bring on the Giants

I flew to Barcelona and drove to Perpignan. Great day saturday even though there were nowhere near as many Cas fans this year.

My dad did a bit better, he didnt fall over and knew we had won on sunday morning. We did our usuall of eating whilst hammered at the Buffalo Grill in Pergpignan Sud.

The game was more of a feature this year and because we were dressed more appropriately we were not as cold as last year!!!!

Sunday was cool, even if we were a bit fatigued - The Nou Camp Stadium, Sagrada Familia, La Ramblas and Tapas!!! Not common treats for your average Super League Fan!!!

Although landing sideways in a gale force wind at Liverpool was no fun at all

I'll give my weekend 9.8 out of ten and as its early I fancy going again, maybe to Dragons v Wire in Barcelona????? All in all, I love the Dragons, nice fans, great place, good club so now we've beaten them I hope they start winning to keep to success down there going.

Stopping in the Mercure in Perpignan (same team as the hotel – name drop-ping me?) the only slight downside was some drunk knocking on my bedroom door at 2.30 am on Saturday night, before moving up the corridor to knock on another door for10 min going <knock, knock, knock> "Richie, Richie" – before being eventually answered with "F**k off you fat c**t"


Still, Mitch Sergeant "Orreet" to me in the corridor. Becoming a real Yorkshire lad

Short trip for me, my lad, Binks and his lad. Stayed in Lloret friday until sunday. Had a cracking steak pie in the Robin Hood and then watched the Shuddshull match, met Braytontiger for the first time and even managed to drink some beer, which isn't like me. Catalan transfer to Perpignan was smooth and hassle free and it's not a bad journey. Met some more of the RLfans crew in Perpiganan, who were mostly drunk, even though the beer was crazily priced. Really enjoyed the weekend, the win helped of course, but i would recommend the trip to anyone who hasn't been before. Mark it down as something you really need to do in the next few years.

10/10

We travelled there and back on the plane with the team (name dropping? Who?) and it was funny in donny airport when we returned. All the players casually strolled through passport control while TM dashed ahead and frantically dragged about 30 bags off the conveyor all by himself. As the players filtered through, i said to Sarge "WTF is going on here mate? The boss is doing all the work." to which Sarge replied, "feck him, it'll do him good".
