heard they were taking a list of people who wanted transfers from lloret to the game in march at the wigan game on sunday anybody know if this is right

i hope so has i have no idea how to get from lloret de mar to perpignan... i belive they done it last year so hope they do it this year as ive already book flights and hotel to lloret

Who's they?

Dont know but I will be doing a coach again

Call me old fashioned but if I was staying in lloret is at least have work out how to get to the game before booking it.

Yeah that would be the sensible approach!



Hi Janice, put me down for 3 again please, will speak to you well before anyways!

Wayne

i have been in touch with catalans tours and got quoted off them for transfers but as my post states i have been told of a list that we can add our names to get coach travel to the game if theres a lot of uptake i am sure it will be cheaper going on a coach with the rest of the reds fans who seem to be basing themselves in lloret

1 - Why on Earth stay in Lloret?
2 - Bus to Girona. Train or minibus direct to Perpignan.

Your right with the Lloret bit, however we did it and did as your point 2 says, (although we got a cab) however the train wasn't quite direct we needed to make one change at Portbou.

Top tip stay in Santa Susanna just down the coast (miles better than Lloret) and you can get the train from there rarther than getting an expensive cab (as we did) to Girona from Lloret.

why stay in lloret because its a damn sight cheaper than staying in france 160 quid for four nights all inclusive with flights baggage and transfers cheaper than going to cardiff for the weekend

Tossa, Palamos, Sant Feliu, Roses, L'Escala, Platja D'Aro.

maybe i like lloret each to his own

Just giving you alternatives for the future.

we stayed in Tossa in the past but had to hire a car to drive to the game, connections between there and Girona to perpignan did not match for a smooth transfer.

Point 1, answer - Because thats where a coach will be arranged from, agreed there are much better places to stay on The Costa Brava.

Point 2, answer - (a) Its too much messing about (done it and as Salford red all over states - it takes too long and it is far more expensive than arranging a coach from one departure point in one resort for around 50 people; and (b) You book said coach for a return trip straight after the game and get back to a resort in Spain which cannot be done using you're method and god only knows who the hell would want to spend a night in Perpignan!? Sorry but the place is aweful.

Can i just ask, so is there going to be a coach from Lloret De Mar?

i heard i speak to some one at the Wigan game, but im not too sure
can somebody let me know
thanks.

i stayed in perpigan a few years ago and it was like a ghost town there is absolutely nothing to do in perpigan that's why im staying in lloret this time..

i love an adventure so couldn't careless how i get there, i just know no matter what i will be at that game in march that's for sure...

I agree with you re perpignon. However did you not think before booking for lloret about checking for train timetables etc... in advance? It just seems silly IMHO to book it and hope that someone organises a coach for you.

Its not a hope Ian, there is a coach being organised, as has been for the last couple years from Llorret by Janice(RedHazel)

Port Bou is a nice little place - some lovely sights on the beach too !"!!!

The walk back to the train station isn't for the faint-hearted though!

Collioure is a cracking little town with a lovely beach. If you can check it out.

Agree that Perpinya is boring but to say it's awful as a reason to stya in Lloret is bonkers!

If any of you pass through or nearby Sant Feliu de Guíxols let me know

I didn't say that, I agreed that there were much better places to stay on the Costa Brava but if the coach is being arranged from that departure point there is no reason to stay anywhere else. Also what you have to bear in mind is Salford play Catalan well out of season (end of March) so Lloret is nothing like it is in the middle of summer, whilst there are still plenty of things to do day and night.

The only images of Perpignan I ever get and I've been every time Salford have played there (apart from the challenge cup game of which I had booked and paid to go but a certain ash cloud forbid me to travel) 5 times in all, are of dog s[ih[/iit ladened streets of which I'd certainly swap for Lloret any day of the week.

Not to mention they still do white poo in Perpignan
