Just had ours cancelled and not going now. 130 flights expected to be cancelled due to air traffic control. The team were flying on Friday, game now in doubt

So sorry to hear that mate - Will you be re-imbursed money wise? Hope you get it sorted, and soon!
We're (due to be) going in August, and our flights are to and from Carcassonne, then train to Toulouse, where we're staying at the Ibis, but............
We've been told the game won't be at the original venue, as it's "unavailable" and we're awaiting an update from Olympique.
What happens if your fixture can't be staged? It'd be difficult to slot it in later in the campaign.

@spelly will be good for Widnes don’t think they deserve a drubbing in France after Sundays result 😂
Same route spelly. Thursday - Monday. Train across to Toulouse but over 100 flights already cancelled. Nothing coming up for the Friday (I assume sold out), this is when the players fly out but I’m anticipating more disruptions between then. Even flying to Spain I think will be a nightmare and travelling up
we got a refund which was good straight away with the option or rearranging flights but nothing seemed to work and had to make a decision on the hotel too
best of luck for anybody going out there if it goes ahead and hope you have a great weekend
If it's any help, Easy Jet were showing Bristol to Toulouse on Thurs and Fri, coming back Sun and Mon, a few minutes ago but............
Of course it's a pig of a drive to Bristol!
Good luck all those travelling!

I have a mate who used to live in Paris, and a couple of times I went on the Eurostar.
Did train Manchester to Euston, tube to St Pancras, then the trip under la Manche.
I just checked, and there is a direct train service from Paris to Toulouse, but......
It's Wednesday evening already, so you'd need to be sharp to it it in for the kick off on Saturday.
Just a thought, and good luck if you go for it!

If the game is in doubt, then it should be made official.
I’ve got a plan b in place if my flight is cancelled, but it would be a risk to book that if the game is in doubt
Have paid for my flights and hotel so I suppose I will go if the flight isn’t cancelled even if the game is off.

Ditto! 😖
I know someone flying on the same flight as the team. I think they're O. K. The strike is just tomorrow.
Sorry to hear this - my flights from Bristol are still on
also see we are playing the game at the Ernest stadium where we played last time - a pig to get to, bus 70 as I recall and a pub called the toucan ?
spelly I reckon your game will be there too

We were due to play at their new gaff that they share with the yawnion team, but it's unavailable we've been told.
I reckon it could now be staged at the "old" ground in Blagnac, where they were based previously (if it's still there of course) so I might not be adding to my CV of venues I've visited.
There's a couple of pubs facing each other, just up the hill from the ground, but I forget their names.
Spelly.
@ditton-donkey It’s not where we played last time.
Where did we play last time - I am sure it was Blagnac ?
Just looked and we have not been to Toulouse since 2019 when we won in blagnac
2020 season truncated no fixture against toulouse
2021 played at swinton due to travel restrictions
2022 they were in SL
