You can see how Association Football is dying on its feet as a result of fans being expected to travel more than two miles from their front door during a recession ...

About as much as Cas brought last season? That is: generally a good place for the rest of the league to boost their points difference (Saints being the exception of course). Celtic will be a different ballgame next season, just as Cas is this.

Yeah we were a really good place for you and Leeds to boost your points difference last season you arrogant fool.

Don't compare us with Celtic who haven't even got a point yet.

Yes that`s what I can`t understand Celts, London ,Cats and Tolouse in the championship don`t travel but we are all expected to travel to them.

By the way, on a little old logic basis, you can (if you so choose) spend the dosh to visit France usually once in a season. How many times are Catalans fans supposed to visit here, do you think? Every other week, eh?

The same argument applies to London too.

BTW – take the opportunity to travel to France for a game. It's a very civilising place – and without doubt the best place to visit for a match in Europe.

I mean – Wigan or the south of France, Widnes or the south of France, St Helens or the south of France, Castleford or the south of France, even London or the south of France ...

Really not much of a choice – you should be grateful for such an opportunity.

PS: If you're at next Friday's match between Cas and Leeds, see if you can find tb. He'll explain what traveling substantial distances to games, on an extremely regular basis, actually entails.

I am not grateful no ,I never took the oportunity to go to Celtic and I don`t intend to go to Tolouse either,I did think about it but instead I will spend my money visiting a ground that fetches us a few fans or one like Keighley that got stuffed by the RFL.It`s like turkeys voting for Xmas.

I'm sorry – I'm not trying to be rude, but really ...

So your criteria for visiting a ground is some sort of reciprocal arrangement?

Did you, incidentally, understand what I posted about you whinging about going away (more than a few miles) a couple of times a season while you're complaining about some people not traveling hundreds (get that – hundreds) of miles every other week? Perhaps I didn't make it clear. My fault – I apologise.

And take the south of France as a break or holiday. Just don't go and demand egg and chips, Fosters and EastEnders.

tb and I went the first time Cas and Saints were playing in Perpigan – and Easter three years ago. We'd never been to France before. You can't keep us away, now – particularly from the south of France. This year will be the fourth successive one we've gone to Catalunya for our main holiday of the year. And all because of Rugby League initially.

Indeed, this time when we go, one weekend when we're there, Les Cats will be at home to Wakey. Now, neither of us are Pussycats fans, but we'll be going – because it's fun. Because we love the game – and because we both love the experience of RL in France.

JFFC, Should we tell him that you made your living in the pub/restaurant business yet ?

I don`t really want to know all your holiday plans thank you I have traveled further than that to watch my own team. I traveled to Florida when we played the Tomahawks over there but I have no intention of watching a side that just gets sidwinded into Super League at the expense of clubs who have been part of the history why don`t they work there way up the divisions ? What is so wrong with relegation and promotion?
