There was over 84,000 at the CC final last time Catalans got there in 2007.

By contrast there was only 68,000 last year for Hull v Wigan.

Heartland clubs do not guarantee an increase in crowds.

And that crowd was nothing to do with it been the first year at the new Wembley?

I’m getting sick and tired of certain posters on here putting down the areas that most of us are from. I’m proud of where I’m from thanks. I’m trying to be as polite as I can about it, and I’m of the thinking that expenasion done correctly is a good thing, but as EastHull has already said - if these are the type of fans that expansion is going to bring then do we really want it? The actual problem could be the stuck up attitudes of ‘fans’ outside of the heartlands. Some of the posts on here lately just sound like stuck up your own ar5e pompous cr@p that could lead to dislike between different sets of fans. Rugby League fans have always been a fairly close group regardless of the teams we support. I’d like to keep it that way thanks, so if you don’t like us then do us all a favour - go back under the rock that you crawled from under in the first place.

Well said, seems as though he isn't aware of the history of our game and its working class roots. Can't have your Toronto, New York and wherever else without your Dewsbury, Batley and Whitehaven etc

Oh dear, you’ve presented facts which support an expansion club, be prepared to be shot down by angry flat cap whippet keeping pigeon racers.

Interesting this forum is called 'The Virtual Terrace' just makes me wonder if 'Call Me God' and 'RL Realist' have ever actually stood on a terrace. Or is that 'Pit village' behaviour

It looks like the expansionist fans already have received flak. Little Johnny PhlatKap has decided to cry and plea for one side bias comments only on a public forum....

Here's his motto to new supporters outside Calder:

Thanks x. Such a nice example you are of why the game will move on from the dying industrial wastelands of 'the corridor'.

Many a time lad. The Willows, Station Road, Wilderspool, Odsal, Leigh.

Have you ever sat in a seat at a RL stadium or are you one of the 'tough guys' who stand only with his mates and a plastic container of cheap beer?
