Wow. I missed one of the worst threads of the history during my holidays, simply wow.
And what Hull Kr bring to the SL? We have Hull FC...Â
No man, you're really pointless. It's like: Why Africans don't properly eat? They should. Or : Si ils n'ont pas de pain, ils n'ont qu'a manger de la brioche!
When you're a good French who contributes to SL, manual.
-Pay a flight every week. The game is on a sunday and you'll miss the monday at work? It's not important, you contribute to the SL.
-Book a hostel in some superb cities. Who didnt dream to have a night in Hull, Widnes or Wakefield? You only live once!
-Pay your game ticket, the food and extras
And do it 13 times (without the cup and the play offs)
Congrats, YOU ARE A REALLY GOOD FRENCH RUGBY LEAGUE FAN. You don't have a job, but you can spend £150 twice times a month when it's not three times.Â
I went to the Saints - Catalans game in Widnes, Leeds Saints at Old Trafford last october, and Saints Catalans in Langtree Park. I missed 3 days of school and spent a lot, I can talk.Â
Ps: I've nothing against Hull, Widnes or Wakefield, they just don't make me dream.

I think what seems to have been a Catalans policy of not buying English players has been a mistake.
They would have a much bigger English following if they had consistantly had 5 or 6 English players rather than 5 or 6 from Aus and NZ. It would also help with player networks etc.

| Quote: Tom_13 "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 !

A very good response Tom, i think Sunset is being a bit unfair, i bet he probably lives in the North of England, where travel is not much of a problem in terms of distance. I used to live in the North but now live in Dover, im nearer to France than any ground in the North, but i follow my team when i can, for me its a 600 mile drive round trip, so theres the cost of fuel, wear and tear on the car, match tickets, food, overnight hotel stay, so i understand exactley what you are saying and i agree with you.

| Quote: Sunset "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
Tete de merde.
Hopefully i am gramtically correct.

I think "tête de bite" might be more recognisable in its English form.

You must regard every game as an away game as where you're from it's six hours from Perpignan.

This one is the funniest as surely the OP is on a wind up. This one is genuine i think. |

| Quote: Sunset "Many replies but still no solutions on offer.
How are your club and fans contributing financially to SL?
Many clubs have their lowest attendances of their seasons when playing Catalans and London at home. This would not be the case if they were playing Featherstone, Halifax etc. So, how can you contribute more?
To those who have made contributions to this thread already, please don't do it again unless you have answers to the above. Derisory comments and nothing else only tend to confirm that the point I'm making is a valid one.'"
The one thing i would say for the fans who travel over is that they are easily the most enthusiastic and great fans to sit with.
I have had a great time sat with them at the magic events and at Edinburgh had a great time sat with the blood and gold.
Hopefully i will catch up with them at the etihad.
They also have some of the best moustaches of any fans in the game. I have seen nothing like it since watching Jean de Florete. |
