He's not saying it didn't happen, he's saying he's not the one who said it. And he wasn't, it was an FC poster who said it.
I'm sure if you can find the time to run multiple accounts you can find the time to find said post.

Using a VPN, you can appear to be pretty much anywhere in the world. You don't seem to get to many games though, and I'm sure that there are a few folk on here that would be happy to validate your credentials if you turned up at their ground. Maybe you could even arrange to meet up at Catalans or Toulouse (if they have home games in the 8's) with someone just to take a picture and prove that you're the real deal?

| Catalans have rested 7 important players for their game against warlike Wigan. These great players are: David Mead, Rémi Casty, Benjamin Garcia, Mikael Simon, Lewis Tierney, Benjamin Jullien and Joshua Drinkwater. This decision is on order to maximise their capabilities the following week.
Clearly Catalans are planning to cause an upset in the Challenge Cup semi-final against St Helens.
If Catalans manage to make the Challenge Cup Final, there is a good chance that I will be buying the expensive seats in Club Wembley.
Hopefully I will be seated alongside or near President Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron, or Sir James Paul McCartney, or Sir Elton John, or Sir Michael Jagger.

If Catalans make the final I will try to contact Sir James Paul McCartney, Sir Michael Jagger, and Sir Elton John through their Facebook pages and encourage them to attend.
FWIW I saw the TV focus in on Sir Michael Jagger, in attendance at the FIFA World Cup semi-final in Russia involving France. Sir Michael Jagger obviously likes France and could be tempted to attend the CC final if Catalans are there. Maybe he could even encourage his friends Sir James Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John also to attend such an important event.
[i If[/i Catalans beat St Helens, then Catalans will be favourite to win the CC.

Jean, what do you think will happen to the attendance at Wembley, for the Challenge Cup Final, if Catalan make it this time around ?
Although there may be a few hundred of your "fellow countrymen" attending, this will be massively short of the usual 20,000 plus ticket sales for any cup final side.

There were a few thousand fans in the French sections at Wembley in 2007. I was one of them. I know that there will be a similar number if we make it in 2018. Of course that won't be 20,000. But I imagine that having Catalans there will attract to Wembley a lot more "neutral" fans from other clubs who would want to see the honours won by a club that is not one of the establishment "biggies."

Interestingly in Union (or not), Leinster ( Dublin, IRE) played Racing 92 (Paris France) in Bilbao, (Basque Country, Spain) recently........and they only had 1,007 unsold seats, with a crowd of 52,282. In 2015 2 French sides met in the final in London and attracted over 56,000 fans to Twickenham......so French fans will travel to watch their sides. Maybe the RL need to market to this audience more?
I'm also interested in how many Wakefield would bring to the final if they got there........considering the pitiful averages they have at present.....

Really? They were all French?
Union “fans” will turn up to watch any old dross. Especially if on a free corporate do. And while there will have been more French there than the Catalans CC final it’s not comparing apples with apples. League fans love the sport. 80% of Union fans turn up for the event. I know we’ll struggle with tv and corporate money unless we go the same way but at least our fans care.
I was invited to the Lloyds sevens and politely declined cos I couldn’t care less. I bet they got 30,000 there though for a non event.
Union has become fashionable even though their “World Cup” has 4 sides that could actually win. Ours has 3. We don’t have the home nations but Scotland are a joke at union anyway.
Let’s give France a proper chance. Catalans home crowds are better than a lot of ours and not that far off NRL. If they get a decent side next year and a local derby things could take off over there. Plus one day we might get back the money from the Vichy government!
Why can’t RL fans from England, a small part of Wales, Australia, New Zealand, PNG, France and now Canada just get together and enjoy our game and support each other onwards?
Like it or not it’s not attendances at games that supports modern day sport it’s TV figures and advertising revenue so unfortunately our only chance of survival in the northern hemisphere is with the added value of France and Canada.
You only have to look at the kit sponsors of overseas RL teams compared to SL to see that we need a global influence as over here we’re seen as Northern Monkeys with no disposable income.
