no slant on your club , or your avatar  
just that Alice has his fishing rod out again trying to produce some mathematical calculation to try to back up his one eyed view on franchise awards whilst turning his one eye blind to the fact that if percentage was the issue then a team like Quinn's would be bu@@erd .

| Of course the only measure of RL participation and interest is the number of people attending SL matches 
The only surprising thing about Albert's statistics is that he hasn't fudged them enough to have London or Toulouse at no1  |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

I am referring to the towns where clubs play. Townsville is the name of the town, North Queensland is the team. Perpignan is the town, Les Catalans Dragons is the team.

Of course Port Moresby, PNG would win easily if it had a big enough stadium, which it clearly does not.'"
Perpignan is not in the RL heartland.

But the Catalan Dragons team is representative of a whole region , therefore they have 7 million people to draw fans from , so basically a crowd of 7/8,000 is pish poor
You cant have it both ways Alicibert

There is no heartland of RL in France.
The fact that it is pretty much the only place that knows about RL doesn't make it a heartland.

You do not know the history of this region. They have been playing rugby league in southwestern France for 75 years. Towns like Carcassone and Perpignan are rugby league heartlands.
Lille on the other hand, has not been playing rugby league for 75 years. It is not a heartland, but rather a potential area for rugby league expansion after Toulouse, Paris, Lyon, Mille, Bordeaux and perhaps Avignon enter Super League. |
