| Quote Fax4Life="Fax4Life"Toulouse is a Rugby Union stronghold and there is not much interest in the RL team.
You get games with no atmosphere and little interest as be honest nobody cares in these areas about RL, maybe apart from Catalans but for how long?'"
Toulouse is in RL country (not as much as Perpignan, but still). It is a large, wealthy, young and sporty city with top clubs in football, RU and handball (don't laugh, it is an important sport in France).
It is true that Toulouse is very big in RU, but it is not necessarily a drawback: Perpignan just won the RU French championship. On the contrary, the competition between Toulouse and Perpignan is very strong in RU and it will be an asset for Toulouse as the new competition to be the best French team in SL will be another factor raising the interest of the local population.
The CC participation of Toulouse has already lead to an increase in local support and in TV and press coverage (5 matches on Orange sport and regular reports on regional public TV news).
I expect Toulouse to be a massive success in SL with large crowds flocking in and a strong financial basis to build a very competitive team.
Once I said that, I would prefer a simple P&R system based on sport results only with the best CC teams accessing to SL. As a sport fan, I would find it more fair and more fun as it would make the CC more meaningful. Hopefully the RFL will go back to such a system at some point.

| How many football clubs don't come from London? A lot more than those that come from London thats for sure. Point is there might be loads in London but there are also far more who are not in London.
Thats not the case in RL, nearly all the clubs are in one area and theres next to none in other areas.'"
Agree in principle, but look at he size of the leagues for NRL and Football, the point is ours is a small league of a select few, we can have French, Welsh, London teams with us, no arguement there, BUT ON MERIT!

Hey thats too obvious mate.
Its like this - we tell you what we want you to say and you say it, that ticks the boxes e.g Criteria states you need to average 2500 fans - so there are 2600 odd at Toulouse last week funny that as I have just watched the DVD and if there were that many we took about 800, which I know we didn't I was there, more like 300 with 1600 there.

| Quote Leon Ashton="Leon Ashton"What an EPIC FAIL
I believe i posted that Wakey had recently produced 1 world class player and some international class players and Halifax hasn't. Nothing about producing standard SL players as per your response
'"
You on about the club or the area???
Thing is without a club then RL would not be played in an area - fact.
Siddal do a good job as do other amateur clubs but having a professional (or semi pro) club gives players that ambition to do better.
Stuart Fielden was a world class player although we missed him he went to Bradford but he is a Halifax lad, we brought Danny Tickle throigh but he was not a Halifax lad.
Both routes help the game, obvioulsy we wish we could keep all our local born good players as do all clubs, ask Leigh in particular but it does not work like that.
Wakey have produced some good players but lets not forget we have been out of SL for 6 years now, players go to SL if they are that good.

The club as an earlier comment suggested that we should be in SL ahead of Wakie.

My thoughts as well , that is why with the utmost respect there is only Widnes that are a viable SL club at the moment outside the top flight
Your fan base has been so badly damaged by your last couple of years in SL that it will take a long term period of success to get it back where it needs to be
Unfortunatley the timing of this is paramount , get it wrong and you could end up missing the boat

Agree but funny thing is Salford are like Widnes, Barrow and Huddersfield in that they rely heavily on a RICH CHAIRMAN.
So why are they so bad, yer its their first year up after promotion but they were odds on to go up so should have been better prepared.
Puzzled.
It also makes me wonder why the RFL allow clubs to be so dependent on rich chairmen, its a risky game to play.
Makes a mockery of their own criteria rules really.

They actively encourage it , Bramley will never get back into the ' big time  ' because they are run by the supporters of the club
The RFL want ' sugar daddies '
More time spent on trying to get more fans to all our clubs would be better

Its a bit of a common untuth this is. The crowds started dropping when we were still at Thrum Hall and by the time we got down the Shay they dropped even more. When we finished 3rd in 98 i think someone posted on here the average was little over 5500.
