Let's get real, we won't take that many, but I'd suggest that we'll take at least as many (or more) as other Championship clubs (our away support is probably second only to Widnes?)

We took around 250

Dont know how that stacks up with others up to now

Would expect Widnes to be top dogs with us , you and Fev next all around a similar amount

Then again , who gives a stuff , the surrender monkeys should not be in our competition , as Alex's dad posted on our site maybe we could have a ' themed ' day when we play them

We take rostbif and they bring white flags

We'll have to use VT logic to settle this.

Are there likely to be more people from fax or london in the whole of france in the whole month the ties are being played in?

London. And any stayaways are the fault of chippy northern fans holding them back and not the complete nonexistence of Harlequins support.

Didn't say we weren't a disgrace on the crowd front. Never have defended the clubs inability to attract bums on seats either, but what I did do, was respond to the friendly visit by the original poster who decided to start the same conversation on our board.
On the topic of crowds....please feel free to re-read the first line of my post above.........if you still don't understand the licence process, essentially, you get 1 point for 40% capacity and 1 point for a 10k average....the rest are awarded for youth development, competitiveness, decent ground etc..etc........therefore, we got in on merit.
I do appreciate your concern about our crowds, but please rest assured, we are OK with the SKY wedge and have cut our cloth accordingly (this time )

I have no qualms about the Bronquins travelling support, to be honest, how many of us could or even would travel 200 miles to a game every other week? A credit to their club the away travellers are, never had any grief off them and are just as much 'traditional' rugby fans as our neighbours along the M62 corridor who we have had trouble with in the past.

It's the poor home attendances which are the real dissappointment. The move from Griffin Park back to the Stoop was met with the fans as negative as they said most of the fans lived in close proximity to the ground and were settled, whereas the club said the fans would flock to the new idendity at a 'permanant' ground. This really hasn't happened.

On the pitch though they do play great rugby with an ever growing number of Englishman and Londoners coming into the first team.

I'm not going to Toulouse this weekend, does that make me as bad as the Bronquins fans who aren't going to the South of France?

Yes!

We were talking to a Toulouse administrator who said their crowds were between 2500 & 3500 this season. I've not seen a crowd figure announced yet for Saturday night but there sure as hell wasn't that many. I'd say we had about 400 fans there and accounted for about a third of the crowd.

crowd 2697

Whilst there have been some strange crowds announced, at the Stoop this year, we seem to be "under declaring" I can understand the temptation to overdeclare crowds but that comes with the added tax bill, so are the benefits really that good to risk your fanancial stability? Why we are underdeclaring is a mystery to me, unless, as you say, we have previously overdeclared and are now being more truthfull....which is shamefull if true (and stupid, as we were always going to get a licence anyway).Good effort to take 400+ to 2lose BTW....(not a backhanded compliment BTW)

I would say the crowd was around 1,400 with maybe 350/400 from Fax.
