I don't think there is any reason they couldn't attract crowds like Catalans.

How do you suggest all this is financed ? , considering Toulouse are getting smaller crowds now than they did in Elite 1 , Toulouse's visits to britain quite often are low interest wise with the Championship fans , the cost of having a single club in the Championship is around £250,000 per season

Well, I haven't done any in depth research, but I'm guessing that if Anglo-French matches only take place in the NRC knock outs, the Championship play offs and a hand full of CC matches it won't cost as much as funding one French club in the Championsip with little in the way of returns. The geographic spread of a combined Championship should also create a better portfolio to approach sponsors with.

quite right but the CC marketing needs to be improved to lure the sponsors looking for european coverage.

It's not brill...it's much better than that! Would be great if TO could do some advertising on there as it has always been busy when I've been on it (which is pretty regularly when I've over there, to be honest, as I'm a lazy get).

yes it is a good service and soon there will be a direct link from the city centre to the airport which will make life even easier.
Speaking of the airport,apparently there is now advertising for TO - haven't seen it for myself but if it's true then it's a step in the right direction.Advertising on the Metro is an obvious advance but I can't see Carlos paying out that sort of dosh just yet especially when he can't manage to find a few more euros to keep the likes of Nathan Wynn & Mathieu Griffi for example !

Have you been watching ' The Office ' ? , this is the 2 nd tier of a minority sport , we dont pull in sponsors interested in selling Internationally , how many SL sponsors are what you could describe ' blue chip multinationals ' ?

There is no interest in the Championships [ British fans ] in playing Toulouse apart from the few dozen who go for a booze up [ and they are diminishing just as they did for the Catalans in SL ] and the home games are also the least attended , and it is plain the French fans are not interested in seeing Leigh , Fev and York either , it was a bad idea to start with and it isn't working

God, I hate to think what you're like around kids;

Kid "What's that?"
You " Well , that's the Sun "
Kid "What does it do?"
You " It makes everything live "
Kid "Wow"
You " Yeah , but it's going to die . So , everything and everyone you know will die ! "
Kid "Even my doggie"
You " I don't know why you even got one , no one cares "

Is that any worse than , we are all going to live forever and you'll be living on the moon in 20 years time ?
