About ÂŁ 70 grand : Tue Apr 21, 2009 8:41 pm  

The money spent by Leigh fans this weekend to watch the team in France

That money put into the club instead would probably give us a maximum SC spend

Are you saying that only 140 fans went....

Your making me feel guilty now,about having a good time

70 grand : Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:16 pm  

Thats what I thought BS.

Taking into account travel, hotel, food ,ground admittance and,in my case, very little shandy I,d say Starbugs estimate is on the low side by a good margin.

Was it worth it for the individual fan ? I,m glad I went on balance and seems a lot of others were too and thats despite the result.

Bet the Toulousiannes were glad we went.

Lets hope their fans turn up in the same number and have a great couple of nights in Leigh.

And so you should be

I'll remind you of this in 2 years time when Toulouse have qualified for a SL Licence application and we havent

70 K a year would probably get that for us

Nah - would take more than that to buy out Lewis, Wood & cronies. No chance of a fair decision-making process with that lot in charge...

Yes , and you , me Frankb and another 250 leythers helped them to get there this weekend

Next week it will be another clubs turn , and then another

The RFL are not stupid , they know that the easiest way to get the clubs to agree to let them in was to bribe the clubs management with a ' freebie ' trip to France

They know that every club will have enough ' pish eds ' within their core support to make it a success over there

And we will all fall for it again and again

So we are doing the RFL's job for them , hope you're happy with that

But, if things are to be decided on attendances, turnover and the like then I think we've all got to admit that there's so much more potential in Toulouse than there is in Leigh, or indeed half of this country.
