Correct, but you implied Fax wouldn't of applied if they didn't meet criteria, Barrow did so why wouldn't Fax? (if that was the case).

ok,let's be positive and say 1000 were visiting fans though the actual figure was about 600/700 according to the FCL people,it still represents 20% of the local population,which you have to admit isn't bad ?

RL is on the increase in france - they/we,must be doing something right ?

Good on em, How long til Catalan are taken back into the league?

Tres Bovered !!! TROT ON.

Not very nice i am affraid but personally i am not interested in the French or Australian game until this lot (RFL) can get their house in order !!

strange attitude but typical of the english mentality - you can't tell them anything and they know it all - still got a chip on your shoulder over the Sepp Blatter fiasco or what ?



when they run out of money obviously and don't get bailed out like the welsh lot

I think you need to re-qoute again - thats is not what i said.

Thanks.

hope doing lots right and the RFL follow whatever doing as they are not doing it right here.

RL is and always will be a minority sport in france just as in the uk - the support in the french rl heartlands has always been fairly consistent tho' it does seem to have increased in popularity over the past few years.
It's unfair to compare one country with another because of the large cultural & demographic differences.I wasn't trying to be clever,3000 turnout for a couple of 'country' teams is brilliant - it's probably the equivalent of getting a 10000 crowd for a Donny v Hunslet clash in the uk



sorry mate don't understand your drift obviously - what are you trying to say exactly ?

I mean, how long until the French league is strong enough to have Catalans re-join.

Oh and you still need to edit your post first post. You have quoted me incorrectly.

The LER is light years away from SL level so the answer is 'never' - french RL heartlands and uk RL heartlands cannot be compared - the french equivalent of the M62 corridor is a country track

regarding my first post - thanks for the complement - cynical old me thought you were being facetious,many apologies

No paranoia from me. I know we're in
