We did finish bottom- but unlike yourself we have never cheated the cap. Or made promises a decade ago regarding a stadium we had absolutely no intention of honouring just to keep a place in the top flight. If you’d had your just desserts following any of that that your club wouldn’t even exist anymore.
We didn’t steal a clubs identity- Been Huddersfield since 1895.

Is that a Freudian slip?

Must you keep banging on about stadia, did you personally finance or build it, of course not, you just got lucky.

By your own logic that makes Wigan a pit village.

Well played Toulouse....well deserved and I suspect they will be signing plenty of NRL stars. Wakefield, Huddersfield & Salford will be in the mix for the drop next year ..
Have to say, Fev acquitted themselves very well today....cracking second half

Before the pandemic Toulouse were in the mix for promotion to SL in 2019 and their home play off game against York attracted 1,132 fans, then along came the big one against Featherstone and the crowd was 1,068.

9,235.....if you accept that the Toronto crowds were paid for and correct , then Toulouse just drew the third highest MPG crowd.....bigger than Caravan Park, Hells View and Lie Sports village.
Their Union partners have already tweeted their congrats...I see a 7k average if not more next year..........

Did you watch the game ? Most of them were sat 'motionless', bit weird don't you think ? Maybe they were wondering why there were no rucks or line outs.

Yep...I watched it. There was a small but very vocal section of Fev fans and in the main, the French supporters were "idle' to say the least, but they were there. I find it interesting that the number in attendance isn't questioned, but their 'passion for the game" is, when in Toronto, 80% of the free entrants were there for the beer and it was hailed as the future of the game
Harlequins RL V Huddersfield was declared as a 12k gate when there were more people in the bar than watching the game....at least this crowd were sat watching the game.

People didnt actually think the little pit villagers had a chance did they?

Toulouse head and shoulders above them all season long.

Well played and well deserved. Good to see the minows knocked down a peg or 2

A league with an average attendance of 5000 toothless miners is complaining that Toulouse won’t bring many away fans?

You couldn’t make it up.

Re: Toulouse : Mon Oct 11, 2021 10:24 am  

Mixed feelings for me. Funny seeing the Featherstone fans taken down a peg or two but also we are stuck with Featherstone fans in the Championships.

Do they not sell replica shirts in Toulouse ? Judging by yesterday's game, the answer is yes, but it was a limited edition run of just 200.
