Right, thought that'd be it. If it's Avignon you could go by train.

You could throw a handkerchief over the contenders. Anybody could be second.

Oh, well, at least it's not going to be Limoux.

Looked into that when we went to the England game last year. It's not cheap even with advance fares, and you lose about 12 hours.

That bleeding queens got a lot to answer for,my birthday on the 1st June,If you want to go anywhere it's either a four day minimum stop or pay way over the odds,Does she not realise it's my birthday and i'm far more important than her,I'm not happy about it.

The RFL knew about this holiday and still arranged these games for that weekend.

They're paying for 50 or 60 flights so you'd have thought they'd had more sense. Or maybe not.

It's mine on the 9th. Was going to treat myself with this trip but I might not even be able to do that now. Great, that's two matches I can't get to this season. Still I might as well get them all out of the way in one season I suppose. If I manage to go another 15 years without missing a game I'll be a pensioner by then.

I really fail to see the point to this tournament. Surely the RFL are going to spend more money than they make on this. Stobart didn't pay anything to sponsor Super League so I can't imagine a one-off set of matches generating much in the way of sponsorship.

Maybe they might be sending everybody over in the Eddie Stobart vans ,just a thought.Everybody comes to our country in a van/lorry ,could return the favour.

How many Eddoe Stobart vans hve you seen with the SuperLeague logo? I've seen 1. How that is spreading the word I have no idea. The only beneficiary that I can see is Eddie Stobart.
