WHOOSH! Another one who misses the point.

Completely agree. It's madness starting the season in early February. It's a so called summer sport yet Hull play a third of our home games before the end of March.

I just feel so sorry for the fans who have travelled, it wouldnt be so bad if the weather was Ok of course. But then the game would be on!

Personally I think Hull FC should at least complain about the circumstances around the cancellation. Watering the pitch before freezing conditions? Not good at all.

Its a disgrace. 2pm is appauling im suprised some of you lads have took it so well. Its shocking. Sorry for your guys travelling its very poor indeed. Should be refunded !

I know I wouldn't have gone to freezing France with the game being called off, if I had already paid it or not.

Doesnt matter if it was called off at 2pm or 2pm last week. You can't get your money. And who is going to refund. I guess Catalan have no need normally for pitch covers and wont have access to any. Loads of footie matches in France have been called off and even tonight kick-a-thon is still in doubt.

If this is the case then they shouldn't be in SL.

So you'd stop in Hull and do what you always do on a Saturday night and wave goodbye to three or four hundred quid that you didn't get anything from? More fool you.

Word on another thread is Hull fans are being offered free tickets to St Esteve v Montpellier. Scant consolation but a nice gesture from those responsible (Catalans Tours I believe).

montpelier played last night!

it was -10 in Hull last night and -2 now with 4 inch's of snow on the ground.It has not stopped Hull City playing today and it never stopped Hull's game against Warrington last weekend in similar weather conditions.If clubs put the effort in to get a game on then there is always a chance to get the game on.It seems Catalan never even tried to get the game on.

Why would I have gone to freezing France for a weekend? It's been colder there then it has here.

I would have gone for the RL not a holiday. It would have been different if it was in the Summer, but then there wouldn't have been a problem in the first place, would there?

Sorry mate I didn't know that. Lines crossed somewhere.

Why are people so surprised its been called off today? In what way is it different to any number of football games called off? If anything they maybe knew it was going to be off yesterday but may as well have made a late call - or are we claiming that hundreds of the fans over there only made travel plans yesterday? As far as I am aware nobody was going to get money back on flights I doubt insurance covers cancelled rugby games. Hopefully they are not acting like typical moaning Brits abroad with nobody to blame but the weather and make something of the time they have down there.

You must be loaded if you can just write off several hundred quid with nothing to show for it.

But like you say, it's already paid and you can't get it back. So what matters if you go or not? Try telling some of the fans who went this weekend before they departed that the match wasn't going to be on, I'm not so sure all would have been willing to go. And I guarantee some of the fans there will just wish they were home now and not having to go through all the travel back for nothing. If anything you save money by staying, by not buying food/beer etc.

its more like dissapointment and anger, money wasted if you are here for 3 days, we fly home monday night so we are planning a trip up the pyrenees on the train

Someone else had said anger etc. Feel for you but good luck sounds like you are at least making something of it - the skiing and snowboarding is pretty good in that area if anyone is into that.

There is undersoil at KC which does help. If it was a Pre KC days last weeks game would have been off.

As soon as the boys heard the match was off they were straight in the gym at Stade Gilbert Brutus for a weights session.

Why do we need the season to start in Feb..

No doubt about it, but the post i was responding to said that clubs with underground heating were called off. The only way that would happen is if the surrounding area and access to the stadiums were unsafe to supporters.

Could It Be Anything To Do With The Football Season??

How difficult would it be for the groundsmen to get off their s and work tonight to mean that the game can be played tomorrow?

Doing a warm weather dance? It's still freezing so unlikely the pitch would be playable
