JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
Catalans just won the Challenge Cup, beating Warrington and St Helens (easily) along the way.
Catalans would have beaten St Helens again last weekend had it not been for a forward pass ignoring incompetent referee.
Catalans has a core base of nearly 8000 fans. In Super League only Leeds, Wigan, St Helens, Warrington and Hull FC have a bigger core fan base.
Wake up and smell the coffee!
IF my Auntie had (rugby) balls, she would be my uncle.
What does 'wake up and smell the coffee' actually mean ? I know you are French , but please explain further. Also can you explain why Catalans supporters do not like visiting England ? Even rubbish/lowly/scum Leigh Centurions took over 500 fans to Catalans, on each of their 3 visits. The 1st game, we took a 1000 fans.

As I have shown, to the other collective troll I was addressing a while back whilst discussing the claim about a top SL team and nothing to do with the Challenge Cup....., Catalans have won only 42% of their regular season SL games since the end of licensing. 42% of games would deliver 22.68 points, or 6th spot this year, 7th last, 5th in 2016 and 6th again in 2015...they are a mid table outfit, not once finishing in the top 4 spots, which defines a top SL team. Tey did finish 4th once, some 7 seasons ago, but since then they have dropped to the ignominy of having to win the MPG just to survive less than 12 months ago......they are mid table at best

As well as being pseudo expansionist yet anti-TWP and now Les Catalans type, I really wonder why you are so hostile yet your own tin pot nomadic club has failed to establish itself after 34 years???

Genuine question here. Back in the day when you were gutterfax and shep were a pup, a lot of people on here, including yourself, used to harp on about the 250,000 kids playing rugby league in london on a weekly basis. How come nothing was built on this foundation? Did the kids just get bored? Schools stop playing the game? No amateur clubs set up?
