Quote: The Lucky Black Cat "Neither Toronto or Toulouse have been given any special treatment from the RFL.'"
Agreed, other than Toulouse have been given two bites at the cherry.
Quote: The Lucky Black Cat "They both have started at the bottom and work the way up. You would have to look much closer to home for a club receiving favours and being touted as "Iconic" and something the game must have. Toronto are funding EVERYTHING themselves and it is not costing the RFL or any clubs to play them in Canada. Toulouse again have got no extra funding and yet people think we shouldnt have them in our dieing sport. Talk about being so blind and stupid!'"
Spot on, and tbh they're been made to work hard for their place. Can't deny that.
Quote: The Lucky Black Cat "So what if Toronto or Toulouse do not bring many away fans - neither do Batley, Sheffield, Swinton, Rochdale, Dewsbury etc etc and Fax also do not have a large away following.'"
Errm, this is where does start to fall apart, at least in our lowly terms. All the above teams will bring more than Toronto/Toulouse, and although Fax may not break any records, they do have travelling fans measured in the hundreds that do outnumber some home supporters. Relatively small numbers, but very important regardless.
Quote: The Lucky Black Cat "So what if Toulouse and Toronto have money. Good on them if they do and if they can succeed and progress past clubs that are skint (and have been for years) like Halifax, Featherstone, Batley, Dewsbury, Oldham etc. It is sad that fans do not want the likes of Toronto and Toulouse to be around. Whether we like it or not Fax offer nothing and have no right to be in SL or even the Championship. I hope to see the day when Toulouse and Toronto are playing in SL and they beat Leeds, Wigan and St.Helens. Because I beieve the game needs it. I do not want to see them get special treatment though and I wouldnt want that for Fax neither. I think people need to get out of the stone aga and see the benefits a team Toronto and Toulouse bring. And Toulouse have been going for decades and are still here and I think Toronto can do the same.'"
Good on them indeed, but to say that Fax offers nothing to the game and has no right to be in the Championship does make me doubt whether your account has been hacked??
