The Perpignan club have advised the Castleford team and supporters not to travel until they have completed attempts to clear the Gilbert Brutus Stadium pitch of around 40cm of snow. http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... alans.html

I'm guessing that should mean they can clear the pitch in time …

Harsh though this might sound, I hope it gets reversed and we are forced to travel there on June 13th instead. I'm sure the weather will be much better then.

All fans who have arranged to go this weekend would hopefully be able to be helped out by the clubs if that did happen.

I really don't think that will happen though, I reckon it will be cleared before the weekend.

What was done about the Quins fans last year that missed the game because the date was moved?

Let's hope it warms up because our lads were terrible last time we played in cold conditions.
