Per comments above, the recent vote means that any criticism or "suggestions" need to be directed at the SLE rather than the RFL. The RFL have pretty much handed the reins over to the SLE for Super League and will only have an interest in the Championship and the leagues below going forward - plus the national team as well of course.

Interesting times.

Saw a great post on twitter from the respected Rugby a XIII Hipster...

Catalan Dragons parading the cup in front of 80,000 people at the nou camp with exposure to over 7m people on social media then being personally invited by the Barcelona presidential to play a game there yet the flat cappers still complain

Do you think it's got to the point that we don't recognise a good thing even though it has just slapped us in the face? If that is the case, what is happening to us all (or a lot of us)?

It’s unbelievable the negativity, especially on Facebook. One thick bint was moaning that not only it was Wigan that had been chosen but the cost of it all, how unfair it was on supporters who would be expected to pay a few hundred pounds to see the game.

Stupid cow had to have it explained to her that it was a Catalans away fixture and the Wigan supporters would have had to travel to South of France anyway. In fact, flights to Barcelona are generally cheaper, as would accommodation.

Catalans winning the cup has given them a massive boost across the region. To parade the cup in front of a capacity crowd was tremendous for them. It’s sure to increase their profile with the Barcelona public.

The Catalans club should be selling tickets throughout the city until the game at a price of just €5 to get them in. Maybe even mail out an offer to the Barcelona season ticket holders? Worth a try, plenty of seats available.

What I thought was most telling was the reception from the football fans when they paraded the trophy around the pitch. The applause was fantastic

Making an observation that airline companies keep an eye on sporting draws and news and put their prices up from the local airport from one destination to another as soon as a draw is made is not flatcappers complaining, it's a poop bit of the travel industry who do exactly the same to football fans who also complain about it happening.

Saying the RFL and SLE should fully get behind this game and do all they can to make a big deal of it and worrying that their track record isn't great at marketing and promotion, is not flatcappers complaining.

And what is a flatcapper anyway? I wear a flatcap in the Winter and have positive outlook on expanding RL into different areas so where do i fit in?

Round here Fev fans are labelled as flatcappers but don’t know if there is also a wider definition?
