Will it be on all flights cancelled today and probably tomorrow.

I'm reliably informed that Dewsbury were once forced to travel to Toulouse by coach due to air traffic control strikes.

Its 20 - 24 hours on a coach to Perpignan, I am sure that if the team have to go that way they would not be in a fit state to play, seems just as we are playing well an act of god happens, how lucky are we.

Indeed, was only a few weeks ago.

Ah. What with the French and their penchant for strikes, it could have been any time.

Speaking of which, the sods are having a rail strike at the minute which has ruled out alternative methods of transport this weekend

SKY NEWS have just stated that the Salford City Reds are already on route via coach to France.

Hope they have a safe journey and come back with the spoils.

Its going to be a heroic victory or a right good hiding with this kind of preparation

Just been in touch via text with BBC Radio Five Live about our team having to travel by coach to the South of France today. They seemed anxious to want to talk to a group of Reds supporters for tomorrow's Breakfast Show. Any publicity is good - they can be contacted by text on 85058 and Nina was the contact person. Cheers!
Let's hope the Lads have a good journey and come back with a win.
