Against St Helens and Hull ? - no, probably not. We charged our fans though. I have no problems with Celtic but let's see what their average ends up at after they've finished the season's slaughter. Come back with your trolling then J o n n y.

Im not trolling, i came on here looking for a thread about the CC and got sidetracked into this one. Im pretty glad haifax have gone well this season, and was going to ask who everyone would want in the next round.

But if you would lie, let me know what your averge attendence was in super league and we can cpompare it to celtics average, after they have been slaughtered all season.

Ours was dire. It wasn't much over 3,000 i think. I'm sat doing naff all at the moment - i'll go and have a look.

Fair,

whilst your on here then, you hoping for a SL team in the CC? And if i knew how the gate money was divided this would be a redundant question, but you wanting a game at the shay or to do some traveling?

Not good.


In answer to your cc question - personally i would love to see a Halifax vs Bradford match at the Shay. Friday night fireworks and all that stuff. I think Catalans may put a stop to that.

Indeed. Not sure what the numbers were for widnes in 2005 either. I genuinely think that expansion is a positive thing. in terms of developing the game, i would argue that catalan have done more than widne coulh have done in the last four years, and that celtic was the next step forward.

The club that concern me is Salford. Making no in roads in attendences, performing worse than celtic - though the league table says otherwise, and generally dont seem to be going forward having been given a licence.


re the Bulls. I dont know how they managed to win there two weeks ago, Catalan had three tries tured down apparently. so i have to agree that your dream fixture looks doubtful, and thats before considering the draw

Celtic`s crowds have gone up but they are mainly away fans traveling down lets see how the "heartland clubs" fair at the end of the season with their average gate.As they now have London, Celts and Cats all no show fans plus if it has anything to do with the RFL they will add another French side in as well next time round.

Toulouse are miles away from SL. they need to win something in the next three years to be considered, and at the moment you cant see passed Halifax and Widnes in the championship.

Not definatly so the RFL move the goalposts all the time and they have already said they would like another French side in.

Indeed, surely it makes sense to have a second french team in the league though.

But the rules have been set and i dont think the RFL will 'move the goalposts'

You're new to rugby league aren't you pal ?

To say you only came looking for a challenge cup thread, you've hung around spieling rubbish for a while.
Come out Nigel Wood, we know it's you

Nah, just someone else suckered in by the beauty of licensing..........how its going to change our game for the best
