Quote ="sanjunien"yeh,he reckons he did his hamstring in training - hope he's fit for Leigh cos' Catalans will need his experience against a decent side
anyways,how come Perpignan city centre was empty/devoid of Hudds fans after the game? didn't any of them stay in Perpignan ? there wasn't a single Hudds fan sitting outside Le Café de la Bourse

as i said on our forum,it was the quietest i have ever seen perpignan,usually there's a good number of us in perpignan but this year i think 30 was about right.after the game we were in place republique outside bar britz (?) only 6 of us though,whereas last year there was a good 30 or so after the game.
the problem is definately finance, most of our supporters opted for all inclusive deals on the costa brava as no doubt dave will know having organised some of them, they came to perpignan saturday pm and went back straight after the game,there is very limited options now for perpignan,the BMIbaby flights are very expensive and with ryanair pulling out of girona, only carcassonne,barcelona and montpellier are really suitable but the costs were also quite high.it's a shame that more people are abandoning perpignan for spain now but understandable given the costs of flights, some people paid the same for a week on the costa brava as we did for 3 days in perpignan.
could the RFL,airlines,tourist office and clubs maybe get together and get some affordable flight/accomodation packages together to encourage more people to stay in perpignan rather than spain?
on the game, a deserved win for the dragons,their determination in the 2nd hal won them the game, we were sloppy and failed to take our chances and paid the price.
and as usual the dragons supporters and locals were fantastic company!
