It has been said on 'The Full 80 Minutes' that John Kear (Bradford) & Mick Hogan (Newcastle) have stated their intent not to travel to France at this time !!!

Why would they? Toulouse is their main competition for promotion to SL, if Toulouse don’t fulfil a minimum of 16 fixtures, then they won’t qualify for the playoffs. This is a stitch up to prevent a none uk team gaining promotion.

Steady yourself, as I'm not getting sucked into your repetitive arguments about teams outside of England, that have derailed enough threads already. For the removal of doubt "French Team" comment simply made on geographical location. Kindly make a sensible and relevant comment when replying to my post, rather than jump to a conclusion, because I typed the word "French".

If they didn't play enough matches but had enough wins so the percentage would be high enough if the unplayed were lost would they not qualify. Thought I'd read that somewhere but could be spouting bull agaib

Is that question for me ? I didn't say they should.

Toulouse are currently being awarded 20 - 0 or 24 - 0 whitewash wins for refusal to play in France, therefore those will count as played & won, Toulouse will benefit from the awards not suffer.

Well why bother to start an argument then? The only thing that would be derailed is Superleague if the "expansionists" manage to blow the SKY deal. Perhaps you can turn your fire on far more repetitive duff arguments about how replacing English clubs with overseas clubs will take the game forward and "expand it"?

Or maybe you want to censor me because you don't have any counter argument yourself? Anyway up to you if you want to get sucked into a Fantasy Euro league.

How often have you rolled this one out and yet, there was a sky deal with both Toronto and Catalan in SL (2 non English clubs).

At the risk of "doing another lap", Sky are bothered primarily about filling their channels and selling advertising.
If they really want to increase their subscriptions, perhaps they could find a way to prevent so many UK viewers from getting their stream from "abroad". This would increase their subscriptions way more than promoting Fev or Halifax.

Don't get sucked in people, we have been through this before.
