Not allowed by whom ?
Did they ask if they could participate ? |

Ah, so a 4 team league then. Hardly big enough for a full time league is it. |

| Quote Legionited="Legionited"=#0080FFI personally think 1 French team in Super League is more than enough, 2 ridiculous and 3 laughable.
If there are to be 3 French teams able to compete in our league then why wouldn't they want to have their own "Super League" to rival our own?
If expansion is the way forward then SL should be looking to Scotland before adopting another 2 French teams.'"
So having French teams in Super League Europe is either "more than enough", "ridiculous" or "laughable". Do you have different maps in Glasshoughton to the rest of us? |

| Quote east stander="east stander"Im assuming Quins should be thrown out due to the size of the crowds. What crowds do you think Fev, Barrow and Fax will bring to the comp?'"
Partly, and due to the quality of RL being played this year. I think it would do Quins some good to develop a successful Championship side and then work their war back up, look at Cas and Hull KR now.
All three of the above's crowds would be better, and if it was Widnes in for them, the crowds would be a huge improvement. |

=#0080FFIn my opinion, yes. I believe I'm entitled to that?
The Super League is a primarily English competition as evident by the number of English teams in it. The RFL have shown willingness to expand the competition by allowing the likes of Catalans and Crusaders to compete in it and fair enough it hasn't been a complete disaster.
The problem with increasing the number of teams from mainland Europe is that most fans cannot afford to be travelling all over Europe multiple times during the course of a season. Also, you don't see many Catalans fans coming to games over here, so why would it be any different with a further 2 French teams? Attendances will be affected for all teams which is a real negative.
I'm looking at this as a Rugby League fan and nothing more. Just like everyone else wants to do, I want to follow my team in the top flight wherever I can and opening the competition up to more teams in France restricts that. I can't understand why any fan of rugby league in the UK would be happy enough to see more French teams joining the league at the expense of existing clubs or otherwise. |

Yes. And other people are allowed to hold the opinion that your opinion is bollix, with no rational basis.
And both you and the are entitled to not only hold these opinions, but express them as well,

Baptism of fire my friend. If your view is not with the consensus then you get flamed  |

Home fans are important. Away fans are not. People need to realise this.
