Quote: Standee "it should also be remembered that football is nowhere near as physical as RL, and the players are multi-millionaires, and the clubs are paid a minimum of £80m a year, hardly comparable.'"
I was thinking more about the fans. Not the jessies who play the game. Having said that the travelling has the same effect on a person whether they are being paid £10 or £10,000.
As I said in an earlier post, I would be absolutely fuming if I had travelled to France and the game was called off.
