Yet again today, no presence at all from your fans at a game in England.

Many of us have enjoyed visiting Perpignan and have boosted the economy of the city year after year. What have you done for the English clubs and their cities and towns? How long can this ridiculous situation be sustained, particularly in the prevailing recession? Many English clubs are losing money and they could really do with a club in the SL who can provide fans through the gates TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION, rather than yourselves. You contribute nothing to the finances of other SL clubs, whilst most SL clubs contibute much to Catalans Dragons. Would you be happy if the situation were reversed?

The game needs to expand but WILL NOT be helped by this continuing farcical situation. Charity starts at home (ie: England), not in France!

The usual response to such posts is to call the poster a 'flat capper'. Do so if you wish but I'd rather hear from someone who could provide a solution which would actually see your club making a positive contribution.

I know we aren't a lot of fans for every game but you should understand that travelling every week, or every two weeks, is very expensive. You must pay the hotel, food and beers, taxis or/and trains tickets, without forgetting the fly.

We are some huge rugby league fans and of course, we support our team, but we can afford the trip every week. So we prefer going in England for the best games, like play-offs, CC Finals, SL final and Magic Week-End !

If my club was located in England and I lived in England, I would go to every game, at home or away !

This may be news to you but SL is not the NRL! So you think the situation is fair? Are you not aware of the financial problems some SL clubs are having? Again, would you be happy if the situation were reversed and French clubs were making a massive contribution to one English club without that English club doing anything in return?

Gosh. A game with two weeks notice and you're expecting people to travel a thousand miles to get there.


Any club relying on away support to make ends meet has serious underlying issues that are better addressed by looking internally than blaming some people at the other end of the continent from not going to east Hull for a Sunday afternoon out.


Yet again, it's Hull KR fans (not all of them, before anyone shouts at me) obsessed with away support. Why is this?


All that said, it's kind of nice to have a thread like this again. It's like it's 2007 all over again.

Hold on John, 1 alleged Hull KR fan is obsessed with your away support, personally I wouldn't expect many fans to come over to England every other week as I stated above.

Over the years, it's become something of a cliché that there's a fixation on away fans east of the river Hull.
Your rational comments are more than welcome as a counterpoint to that.

Succinct and to the point. Like it
