Stayed in Calella a few years ago on my honeymoon, some excellent restaraunts there - hope you visited 'Don Corleone' near the square Brian, awesome food!

Enjoyed it massively, hotel was brand new with a fridge which helped on the Sunday when the bars where shut. I think next year we will stay in Canet like Woody did, or book a week in Lloret then stop in Perpignan for the night after the game. Met alot of awesome people too which always makes it worth the trip.

Never yet seen Wigan in France, due to us not playing during the school holidays (cannot justify 2 holidays abroad in one year, plus tied with the kids).



Please IL, if you have any influence on fixtures, Catalans away - last week in July 2011 please!! We have already decided we are doing the fortnight in France again next summer, car/tent/trailer/bikes...etc! Would love to get the Catalans game in that as well.....in fact I'd wager Wigan would bring a massive following if we had a 'Summer Holiday Fixture, as more families would come).



It makes sense!

Went the first two seasons Catalan joined SL and have therefore pretty much "done" Perpignan.



Waiting for the TGV line extension to Barcelona to be finished (if ever), before going back and will then base in Barce and come up for the game in about half an hour.

Don't think it's owt to do with France as a whole mate as we were in Toulouse over Easter this year and the pubs opened early on Good Friday and didn't shut all weekend!

don't worry, it's due to be finished in early 2007 so we'll be fine then





Crazy thing is that the line is all laid and has been for three years now, every time we drive up from Girona on the motorway we admire the nice new track rusting away in the sun

Wouldn't say that, if anything ppl are just splitting their time between canet, perpignan and other resorts.



The after match party was very busy. Free champagne and stuart fieldens lasagne was a bonus!

Category Z excuse considering we went there in August two years ago.







Yeah but a few Leythers wouldn't require the extra bar staff on premium rate wages that Wigan fans would.

We went out to Canet for lunch on the Sunday, everything was open there, beautiful place - ale was still dear though but better atmosphere than Perpignan. Definately one to consider for next year. Even my Mrs who doesn't like rugby is up for a return trip next year if it's a summer game.



Maybe Perpignan is a bit provincial/conservative - even the French weren't turning out on Sunday - corner bar near the ground was lively enough though, some nice French people even offered Hogan and Scotty a lift in their car

My first time going and I loved it, the Irish bar was brilliant and so was the saturday at the purple bar watching the leeds saints game, especially when the stripper showed up!



Canet is a bus ride away and is a quality place to stay! Shall be going next year!



Great trip, loved every minute!



Only negatives was the expensive beer but surely you expected this?

Been there, done that. Me, JTB and I think Hogan commandeered a lift off a random French bloke who had his old dad in the car (despite language barrier) in the pouring rain back in 2007. It was about 30 mins to kick off - we'd missed the buses boozing in town and couldn't find a taxi for love no money. I still to this day can't recall how we wangled a lift off the guy! Lucky we did, we'd have missed the game!

Awesome trip once again.



Roll on next year
