LEIGH Centurions fans travelling to Spain for tomorrow's Super League Qualifiers clash with Catalans Dragons are being urged to 'remain vigilant and stay safe' following yesterday's terror attacks in the country.

Flying to the Barcelona-El-Prat airport and travelling to Catalans’ Stade Gilbert Brutus stadium in Perpignan, southern France, from there is a popular route for British rugby league fans.

Others fly to Girona Airport, south of Barcelona, and many stay in the Catalonia tourist resort of Lloret de Mar the night before games against Catalans prior to making a two-hour coach journey to the stadium.

Thirteen people were killed and around 100 were injured in Barcelona when a white van ran over civilians on the busy road of Las Ramblas at 5pm yesterday.

Then at 1.15am this morning five men wearing fake bomb belts were shot dead by police in the Spanish coastal town of Cambrils, 75 miles from Barcelona, after driving into pedestrians in a car, causing multiple injuries.

Leigh Centurions tweeted: “In light of the incidents in the Catalan region of Spain could all travelling Leythers please remain vigilant and stay safe.”

A house explosion at around 11.15pm on Wednesday which killed one person and injured several others in the Spanish town of Alcanar, 120 miles south of Barcelona, is also being treated as a terrorist incident by police.

An army of fans from Leigh travelled to the south of France on July 1 when the Centurions lost 40-36 on their first visit to Catalans.

Tomorrow's game kicks off at 5.15pm (UK time).
