Official Match Thread - Catalans Away (CC) : Tue Apr 24, 2012 11:18 am  

All travel/accommodation/plans/predictions in here.

0930 from Stansted to Perpignan on Friday, couple of beers and a bite to eat Friday night, early(ish) night to get up bright and early for a big day Saturday. Then try and distract myself from thinking about the football on Saturday, watch the game Saturday night, few beers before bed and a flight back home Sunday lunchtime.

We always seem to do alright against SL opposition, so whilst I think we'll lose, I don't think we'll embarrass ourselves, and should score a few tries. Hopefully a decent crowd will generate a bit of revenue for us as well, they've had a couple of five figure attendances this season I believe, so 5/6000 should be achievable you'd think.

Catalans 52-26 Eagles.

Attendance: 5811

Same arrangements as Liam but I'll squeeze some food in I think before having a shandy.

I can't see us getting within 30 points but the last fews ties vs Superleague teams have shown us to put a good effort in and the team has done themselves and the supporters proud.

MOTM the more skillful and compact one of the Henderson clan

Do we go for balloons? Too late for Kazoos.

Think the flag and a lot of beer might have to suffice.

Just don't spill any on the flag cos you'll never hear the end of it.

don't put yourselves down - the Catalans made hard work of the Leigh game last season and were lucky to get the win

they have a habit of playing badly against the so called 'inferior' teams

Good luck Eagles and here's hoping you all have a safe trip down and enjoy the experience

You'll be getting food as well, not having you throwing up everywhere again

Re: Official Match Thread - Catalans Away (CC) : Tue Apr 24, 2012 1:25 pm  

Again...? When have I thrown up in your presence?

Re: Official Match Thread - Catalans Away (CC) : Tue Apr 24, 2012 1:37 pm  

I saw you on Street Crime UK
