As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

| Well, my reading of that would indicate that the "European Champions" will be determined by the winners of "Fev v ?????".....and the other games are a pointless exercise in determining which is the stronger competition!!!
Complete waste of time!!
I've no real objection to the concept of a "European Club Cup" competition (other than the costs to the travelling sides), but this ain't it - it's a "European Club Challenge" match (ala WCC)....and 3 other pointless fixtures!!

Absolutely spot on!
Just seems a pointless exercise in trying to half-heartedly compensate clubs for the loss of a home game this season. If it's all pay then I can't see us getting more than 500 on for it.

| Unless the rfl put some cash behind it or a tv deal some sort to back it up I don't think it will catch on.
What incentive have fax and Sheffield got to pay to send a team over to France for some pointless fixture? Same with the French teams coming here.
Seems like a bit half baked idea to be honest.

Premier Sports will be showing one or two of the games, but as part of the existing TV deal so won't mean any extra cash. I believe there is some prize money but it would have to be something significant to make it really worthwhile.

The Fax chairman at the beginging of the year said there was prize money availible. However, you only get it if the english sides win the majority of the games. So you might smash the side you are playing but if Fax, Sheffield and Fev lose you dont get a penny. Its something silly along them lines. Would you expect anything less from big Nige?

No I wouldn't.
But surely we should get te choice whether to play in it or not? I mean we aren't exactly rolling in it are we?

42910_1337432023.jpg [i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

| The RFL has revealed how the tournamnent will be won and Walt has it spot on. Fev can be crowned 'European Club Champions', but the rest of us are playing for 'national pride'.
We're actually in a contest between the Co-operative Championship and the French Elite Division. The winning league will be determined by the aggregate result of the matches. (i.e. if 3 Championship teams win, the Co-operative Championship wins!) If it's 2-2, points difference comes into it. There don't appear to be any bonus points at stake!
Should be massive crowds!

| I hope the RFL are picking up the tab for this shambles.....or the club are prepared to tell them where to stick it, because this 'non event' won't even draw a crowd if you're giving the tickets away!!!
