| 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.

| Quote: roopy "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.'"
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. |

people don't have the money mate - Perpignan is an area of relatively high unemployment and the average french person who is in work will not use their precious holidays to grace the jewels of the northwest like Warrington.....
i'm in part time work and I could never afford a few days away in england - it's hard enough finding the dosh to get to the Gilbert Brutus... 
not like you well off english you know ?

most of those seemed to with the team coach?nobody says you should travel every week,but,jeez,would be nice to see a least one big turn out of your fans,like wire do when we play you away
