Maybe but in time they will grow their crowds if they get an half decent team to follow.

Quote: cjhatesunion "Personally I hope Crusaders become a successful side with the game growing at a decent pace.

Good luck mate and I hope you entice a few more locals to your games. Castleford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Hull FC, Salford, Leigh, Wakefield, Warrington and Widnes have all posted lower gates in Super League than Crusaders did today... all with a little bit of head start with regards to forming a solid foundation in the local fanbase catchment area. Despite what people may spout on these boards, they are doing OK and need a period of stability now to establish themselves

When will people learn that Catalan Dragons are NOT an expansion team as RL has been played in the area for god knows how many years.

Barry do you go and watch any RL?

If RL means Romford Ladies then yes, he's there every weekend peeping through the bowling green ladies locker room.

Thats exactly what people dont seem to get. They honestly seem confused about why Crusaders arent getting 10k+ every match already. For an entirely new sport, in an entirely new area the crowds they have been getting have been superb, right now all Crusaders need is time.

RL has been played in London for many years, it has been played in Russia for many years. Les Catalans are clearly an expansion club, the took professional RL into a country which had never seen professional RL before.

Quote: WxmChris "Why's that then ? Coz they're doing well this season. Or because RL is growing in France ?'"


RL has always been big in the french RL heartlands but the formation of Catalans has gelled the game and provided a professional platform for the local game.
You will be hard pressed to find a more passionate bunch of fans than the Perpignan lot.

A second professional team in france is inevitable,probably in the Toulouse area which is an equally rugby daft city with a huge catchment area with enough potential fans willing to turn up to see professional RL.

Agreed, i'm currently in the process of doing an article on crowds in RL and Crusaders are suprising me on where they stand on the table.

Exactly, Huddersfield posted woeful crowds in the early 2000's, being there I literally used to know everyone in my stand, and although there wasn't many of us, we were a great bunch of lads and lasses who loved rugby league. Now, I walk round town, and I see people walking round town with Giants shirts, and you can't comprehend how happy I am. I love Rugby League, and I love Crusaders after the play off game, all of the fans were really great. A Loud Bunch and I don't just hope, I know that Rugby League in North Wales, if given the time Huddersfield had to build crowds, will win things and build a successful team.

£10m? Is that all? When you look at how much that tool has put into Sale Sharks to keep away from relegation, or Man City to lose all their integrity or Liverpool just to stay alive, bargain.
