Really,  you would think Catalan would be doing better if that's the case.  Even a short flight can play havoc with your head.

No direct flights to Perpignan from UK so would have to be more than the same day for Haven.


2.5 hours to airport, 2 hours to wait for flight and then at least 5 hours to get to Perpignan via Paris. No way Haven would be asked to do that in one day

I’m sure it will be screened on Catalan tv if club can get it on the big screen in the bar I’m sure a few would go down and watch it and have a few pints ??

I flew from Birmingham to Perpignan direct about 2 years ago, think it might have been Ryanair and was only £49 return, bargain buster that was  :nod:

Fans from the SL teams generally fly into either barcelona or genoa and stay in the costa brava and get the bus over on game day, only takes around 90/120 mins then back over border after the game. This is due to lack of flights into perpignan, i know leeds chartered a flight and asked if fans who wanted to go with the players, think they sold the plane out but wasnt cheap.

Fly into Girona - to Lloret De Mar.  Get the bus from Lloret to Perpignan (about 1 hr 50) then bus back again https://www.checkmybus.co.uk/lloret-de-mar/perpignan

Jet2 fly from Newcastle for about £126.00 return - flying out (Based on the match being Saturday at Catalans usual kick off time) Thursday 10/5/18 @08:30hrs back on Sunday 13/5/18 @ 12:50hrs with 10kgs hand luggage)
https://www.jet2.com/en/cheap-flights/newcastle/girona?from=2018-05-10&to=2018-05-13&adults=1

Find a cheap hotel in Lloret or Perpignan (Booking.com show the cheapest at £86 for 3 nights)

I think Catalan should be made to play cup games in this country due to the short notice that it takes sides to arrange travel. At least with league fixtures teams have plenty of time

I'm personally gutted by the draw, the one permeation I didn't want. Skolers away the week after and west Wales on 23/6. There is only so much my budget will go.

Wonder how many go to those with us?

Any word of the game will be televised? If not when will the TV schedule be announced?
