Just a cup of tea, plenty of shandy's in the south of France next year though, cheers for being crap

Some absolute whoppers on here rubbing it in. Especially that Shudds clown.

Absolute inevitable Shudds are going to face a similar fate soon enough. Just a matter of whether its relegation or Ken Davy knocking it on the head and leaving them in the .

Unlucky Leigh, great club and I hope you bounce back in 2018.

What he means is the jolly holiday to the end of France is still on next year.

The Leigh owner said himself superleague EUROPE needs Catalan in the competition.

My point being youve had several millions more than them since 2006 , and you've finally got a new stand

There are lots of good stadia in the Championships that certainly aren't dumps

It wasn't me criticising other clubs stadia

In what way ? We GAINED promotion to the 'promised land' in 2016 (after 19 years in the lower leagues), whilst Catalans were placed in Sooper Dooper League in 2006. Exempt from relegation for years, their fans can't be d travelling to England for games, they bring NOTHING to our game, apart from the fact that's it's a nice trip out there to Perpignan. Hopefully one day they will be allowed to get relegated, but unfortunately it wasn't today.

no he didn't

Yeah it's terrible when smaller clubs do well. Leicester winning the Premier league almost killed off football. But Huddersfield getting promoted should finish them off.

Can't be d?

Yeah cos one trip to South of France a year is the same as traveling to the north of England every other week?

News flash the game hasn't grown much with the same M62 sides for the last 100+ years.

The game has issues and catalan dragons away support is are far from the top of the list.

Maybe if your team was less they would've been allowed

Yeah unfortunately football is already a sport worth billions and billions of pounds with third division clubs bigger than most in our top division and at least 5 entirely full-time divisions in this country alone, so yeah doesn't really stack up as a comparison TBH.

For all you know that dacia sponsorship could have been renegotiated if Catalan went down considering the super league would have lost the French viewership.

How about the TV deal in France. That could have been cut or renegotiated also. Claiming that Catalan being nothing to the game because they don't have many away fans is absolutely laughable.

Guess you will be complaining about Toronto next year and how they bring nothing. How about London, you gonna be on there case also. basically any team outside the sacred M62 who don't bring many away fans right.

What a great TV deal that is showing only Catalans games.

Hardly anyone calls it Super League Europe. Sky don't even promote it as Super League Europe.

I'd like to know how Catalans are bigger and better. For me they are just the French equivalent of Leigh and Salford spending money on Aussie 'superstars' with nothing to show for it.

That is just nonsense.
Average crowd in Perpignan is more than double Leigh or Salford and EVERY club spends on imports.
The main issue with Catalan was sticking with a very poor coach for almost 2 seasons, which took them to the brink.
If you count every one of their French players as "homegrown", they have a damn sight more home grown players than most other SL clubs.

Having said all that, IF Sky need a French club (or 2) in SL , how does this fit with a structure that allows for promotion and relegation ?

Big Nige was a Toulouse presenting the Shield to TO13.

Just like your club you don't possess an ounce of class.

Whilst Catalan were great were they. Let's not forget they couldn't be bothered to beat Widnes who are actually the worst team in SL in front of their own fans.

Hardly an advert for excellence - stop spouting rubbish Catalan are very fortunate.

Try this 'there for the grace of god go I'.

If there were more fans for our match in Perpignan than there were at the LSV yesterday , I'm a Frenchman , despite them declaring a 9,000 attendance

The situation with French players is poor , and is in my opinion the reason they are struggling , it isn't necessarily the number , it's the positions they occupy and what seems like the Gallic politics within the sport

News flash. Catalans still have a very poor coach, but just had enough strength and skill to beat Leigh when it mattered.

Toulouse have announced the signing of Anthony Maria and William Barthau for next season, a couple of French kids who will add depth to the squad, something lacking this season.

I refer m'learned friend to an earlier post.



What more would you like them to bring other than.....drumroll..... "away fans"?

How many other clubs contribute even close to that?

And how exactly does that disprove my point. The Leigh owner made his point crystal clear. Accept it and move on
