They know that a small club from a small town a stones throw from three big SL clubs isn't what SL needs, and Toulouse are a much better prospect for the sport.'"
So 2 Leigh supporters then? 
SL also needs clubs with ambition, playing in good stadia with decent attendances.
Leigh tick all those boxes.
It isn't just all about developing games out of the heartlands you know. |

That's a long way short of the 2nd tier attandance record, 12,424 Hull v New Hunslet, May 1979. We averaged not far shy of 7,000 for all home fixtures (with no games against HKR) in 78/79 and considering you had the likes of Swinton, Whitehaven, Barrow, Workington, Blackpool Borough, Bramley, Doncaster etc it was a fantastic achievement.
Still there have been times when Hull FC had a hard core of less than a thousand coming through the doors in an early 70s match. |

Whoa there , it's called opinions , I do expect and actually hope Toulouse do get to SL , but feel our ' French ' contributor is spouting his usual rubbish
A massive step up from where they now are , and having seen the interest in Toulouse for RL , it could take a while , all IMO |

Fun facts, Hull had cable TV back then (we got it in 1980), well ahead of most of the country, Rediffusion had brought out 'starview' a mainly films subscription service with kids TV as well and my first introduction as an 11 year old to the lovely Rachel Welsh in 'mother, jugs and speed' 
Hull has always being one of the leading areas both in innovation and trialling radio/tv/telephone services.
Back in the early 80s when we were having one of our few spells in our history of actually winning stuff our attendances went from strength to strength 82/83 we had 15x 10,000+ attendances and 14 the following year. Certainly the aggregate and av home attendance records were broken since the two division formation.
Can you imagine now the hordes that used to come through the gates back in the sports heyday of the 30s/40s/50s every week, get your head around a semi final of the challenge cup attracting almost 70,000 fans!
