welcome to the club

That's upto the clubs how they want to handle that. However, it could be argued that a 2 hr flight from Manchester to Toulouse is no different to sitting on a coach going across to St Helens on the M62 car park.

The point about hotels/travel operators is an interesting one. It could be that some travel organisations do offer tie ups for fans but for them to do it, it's whether a) they have capacity and a need to fill it; and b) whether they would gain anything back from being promoted to UK audiences.

It could also inconvenience some fans. Toulouse is over 2 hours from Perpignan too, which I don't think would benefit fans especially since a lot base themselves in Spain in Lloret. But Catalans Sports Tours may be able to do something in regard to that.

These loop fixtures are going to be a Royal pain in the backside. Could end up being 4 trips to France if Toulouse get promoted.

looks like if they keep to there odds and evens loop fixtures which i think is what was meant in the piece i read this morning we will play saints in next years magic weekend

Nothing to prevent the clubs still doing that is there??

The fans would stay for the week's holiday but the players could still go in and out same day for both games.

That could possibly disrupt the players even more - as there's travelling home from the first fixtures, and then getting ready to go back out there again only a few days later.

For me it’s strongest team possible if any has a niggle or is a bit tight rest them. Let them worry about the fire we are going to bring. Also I think it’s a great shot of getting this St. Helens away monkey off our back, that said I wouldn’t mind losing this 1 if we go on to win the 2 after that. We are back where we like to be we are the underdogs the pressure is different it’s on the other side. We can beat any of the sides in the top 4.
