J Phil Loxton 293 Report post Posted November 13 The decision is being made after the lifting of lockdown. And if the government sees possibilities of a return to easing travel because of the vaccine etc then the chosen one will be Toulouse. It's Elstones wish to have a second French team. So the upshot is dependent on the virus in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem with Toulouse or London.I think a second French team would be beneficial to the game in France.London were unlucky to be relegated after winning ten of their matches in S.L.Fev also should be contenders because of their playing record over the last decade and unlike Fax,Bradford and Leigh heve never had the chance to perform in S.L..

Think they are going back to Odsal, as I believe there will be either be dog racing or some sort of racing there next year. TBF at Odsal, they could open the corporate and the main stand and probably get away with it our level.

That housing might also have an impact on whether stock cars are allowed back - there are reports that the residents are already organising their objections.

The main question is how does it work when its an independant panel and Bradford may have not handed in their application at that point. Its lazy journalism to try and sell papers or get clicks. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reading the various articles featuring Elstone in LE (he has been so quiet for so long then is all over the place - funny that) I interpret his comments as being distinctly against Toulouse and also damning Catalans with false praise. Very manipulative, in fact. Quote Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
