Or failing that they could leave it as is and mark the lines in yellow.

Surely some of us that will be in Perpignan for the match could go and help them shift some snow if it means getting the match on?

I think that's what they're appealing for on the Catalans website.

It says something like

'come tomorrow morning from 8am to help clear the pitch and bring your own shovel'

Will they allow shovels on the plane?

A couple of translations from SDL and Google - take your pick (or shovel, rake etc)

The club of the Catalan Dragons calls upon all its supporters that can come to help the players and the Catalan staff to clear the snow from the lawn of the stadium Gilbert Brutus.

We invite all the voluntary persons to rejoin tomorrow morning, as early as 8H, in order to assure the good sequence of the encounter of Great League that will take place Saturday evening against the Castleford Tigers (if possible provide you of equipment: rateau, peels. ..).

The club Catalans Dragons uses all his fans who can come help the players and staff Catalan to plow the lawn of the Gilbert Brutus Stadium.

We invite everyone volunteers to join us tomorrow morning at 8am to ensure the smooth running of the meeting of Super League to be held Saturday night against Castleford Tigers (if you can Bring equipment: rake, shovel .. .).

Obviously, I'm no online translation site, but I'd definitely translate 'déneiger' as 'clear the snow' rather than 'plow'

knowing our luck we'll go on a cup run, forcing the game to be played mid week or something like that. Hope the game is on for the sake of the travelling fans... Would people still go though, baring in mind no refund and just for a p1ss up?
