    Fair enough. Wasn't sure of capacity, but part of the point of my reply, perhaps not well made, was that the poster was pleased with the number of 10k plus gates when actually Hull KR v Leeds and Leigh v Wigan should never come in below that. So it was really just that the game between Saints and Hull drew 11k.

    5 years ago Hull KR and Leigh wouldn’t have dreamed of 10k+ crowds, what those two clubs have done is phenomenal.

    I think the scheduled match in Paris next year is a good start. I see match like this as the "establishment" meeting us dreamers halfway.

    There is at least some RL presence in Paris, no matter how minimal. So that is something I can get behind. Unlike suggestions of playing a game in Dubai, Bangkok and wherever else, just for the heck of it. 

     

    How about Ulaanbaatar? Mongolia is crying out for top class team sports and there’s no Union or football to compete with.

    I would like to see the WCC played in Singapore and chase the corporate dollar there, plus it has lots of British and Australian and Kiwis  living there.

    I would like to see some NRL games and a Super League game played over a weekend in New York, which according to stats is the richest city in the world and again chase the corporate dollar and also quite a few ex British and Australian and Kiwi ex pats live and work the there.

    We could potentially have had a NY club in SL, if only Toronto wasn’t so far from Burtonwood Services.

    The RFL have enough difficulty sustaining clubs with rising travel costs in this division. Adding more French teams instead of extinguishing the division would be a mistake.

    In my opinion, the RL pyramid from the top should be SL, Championship (both pan European) with regional divisions below, including the French Elite.

    I believe the French pyramid should have space at Elite 1 or more likely Elite 2 as a gateway for new clubs from Italy, Spain, Belgium and Serbia looking to cut their teeth at a higher level.

    Do you know of any clubs from Italy, Belgium or Spain?

    A sell out for every games though. Anyway, I was thinking more about the financials side. But if you don't like the 'larger' bit, fine, "a big club with a large turnover' that demonstrates a decent foothold in the region then.

    Income comes from being in the wealthy tournament, Bournemouth have a bigger budget than Sheffield Wednesday but I know who the bigger club are.

    They worked a gap into this season for it (or some other representative game) before deciding it wouldn't go ahead.

    consequently SL round 20 at the end of this month has been split over two weeks to fill the gap in the schedule - 3 games in each week.

    Thanks, I didn’t know that. Still it’s better than a game against the Exiles in front of 2,000 in Warrington.

    If SL didn’t sign overseas ‘has beens and never was players’ we wouldn’t have Jai Field, Bevan French, Lachlan Lam, Tom Amone, Edwin Mpape etc.

    Yes but some English players who are currently part time in the championship would be in SL, which apparently would improve the England team.
