I've said it before, the best thing would be to have FC Barcelona enter a team in the Catalan championship.
The teams from the Catalan league could even be invited to take part in the French cup. |

Fair enough.
Quote: Catalancs "
Honestly the empty spaces had little or no effect on the atmosphere and the setting of Montjuïc is fantastic.
Maybe next time it might be an idea to go around the nearby schools and hand out freebies.'"
Im not saying it did have any effect on the atmosphere there but it is a big cavernous looking place. Arent Espanyol moving from there as well? what is happening to the stadium after that? |

That's probably the best starting point |

Continuing it's slow decay back towards the dust it was made from. Probably |

Yep, they're moving back to Cornellà. It's a great looking stadium, really close to the pitch.
No idea what's going to happen to Lluís Companys, but I know USAP are looking into taking some European games there next year.
Do those men ever come up with an original idea? |

| Quote: Leeds_Wire "Fair do's John. I have retracted what I said (albeit slightly mischievously) but it was right in front of us and it looked bad. Monaghan was clearly targeted all through the game and some of the shots were borderline violence.
Happy to hold my hands up though and admit I possibly got that one wrong - however why the caution from the RFL?
Sorry to go on a bit but its a genuine question...'"
I remember Leeds' forwards getting a warning en masse from the RFL back in 1998 telling them to calm it down a bit, despite them not actually transgressing the laws. Frankly, I want any team I have an interest in to be getting such warnings. I don't want a single ounce of energy wasted in clattering the opposition until they throw their hands up and beg for mercy.
Borderline violence I am very comfortable with, so long as it remains [ijust[/i the legit side of the border and I was happy with what I saw on Saturday. I've not watched it back on tape in it's entirety though, so still stand to be corrected. |

Which suggests that other games in the future might have to be taken to alternative venues. |

It'd be nice to build up a relationship with, e.g., Espanyol for future ventures across the Pyrenees. I don't know where their new ground will be, or what will surround it. |

Espanyol need as many games at their new ground as possible to help pay it off.
Catalans looking at bringing in the ex-pats on the Costa Brava. |

| Quote: lpage "I see. I think it'd be great at some point to have a Spanish team (if the RL game spread to the whole country). Anyway, congrats for this first victory.
French fans have started talking about having a Barcelona team in LER, perhaps as a stepping stone for CC. I think it's a great idea, but I am not sure if people in Barcelona would be interested. Any idea?'"
Just read your views on Catalonia on TotalRL forum. Very enlightening. |

Just over 18,000 on and a great atmosphere. Died off a bit cos Catalans-Warrington wasn't what you'd call breathtaking, especially in the second half. |

Again, you would imagine anybody would be receptive to someone offering to fill their stadiums for them and bring a bucketload of cash into their local economy. |

When seagulls follow a trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
