...If st gaudens go under with lyon this will leave the french "elite" comp with 8 teams.

Won't happen. One of them wil stay in place and TO will field a side in the LER (it will be a rubbish side but it will be there) so the comp will stay at 10. Possibly one less side to spread the talent will help the comp keep its level up.

No. The ticker tape parade in Marseille was in 1951. But it was after the return of the French team from their glorious Test series victory over Australia in their first ever tour of that country.

queenslander was wrong in thniking that the parade followed the 1954 World Cup. But you were wrong and extremely unfair for not noting that 1951 was the year of the Marseille ticker tape parade.

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

[quote="queenslander"]Are you a union fan by any chance? Anything interesting or positive to balance it with? or is RL in France just 100% negative to you.

Tre cool,
I don`t believe that by stating what is actually happening on the ground here that you could assume that i am negative. I would love to tell you some good news stories but at the moment there isn`t any. Imagine if this was happening in england how would you report it, of course you would have a negative tone because its not good for the game.

So please , spare me from your high horse , i am on the ground here and have been for a while ,people are fed up with with how things just seem to be always going backwards.

The facts are that the game here is played in small villages run by some old people with nothing else to do and followed by a handfull of supporters that can still remember when the french side was greeted at marseille with a ticket tape parade after they won the world cup.

Give me some ideas on what you think should be done here to find sponsors and to create interest in the game.?[/quote]

Maybe how about we stop keep trying to remove clubs from the French competition to place them in other competitions of supposed ' greater value '

" Please come and support our vibrant , worth winning in its own right competition now that we have two of our bigger clubs having left to play somewhere better "

Not too sharp there are you , I was reffering to the Elite French league

This is what you get when you treat clubs and competitions with contempt

Easy Tiger! I thought you were talking about Toulouse and Catalans being taken out of the French Elite League and entered into SL and The Championship. Therefore leaving the Elite League without two of its bigger clubs. The majority of the 'bigger clubs' play outside of The Championship and Championship One, but I and many others still take a keen interest in it as it's rugby league and still competetive and means a lot to the supporters of the clubs taking part.
So if this isn't the case, what exactly where you talking about?
That's a genuine question, not sarcasm.
