I don’t know what the criteria is, or even if we have any criteria to meet to play in Super League anymore, that’s what I originally asked.

The attendance at the french clubs matches or exceeds existing M25 teams. The last time anything exhilarating happened in SL was when Catalan and TWP joined. I’ve nothing against Fev but if we’re basing the future of the sport on a couple of hundred away fans I give up. I meant M26. I wish there were M25 teams.

Dunbar Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I really like Toulouse and I think another French team in SL will be great... and I like the suggestion earlier of a Catalans/Toulouse road trip in my new car next year. And I have always liked Fev. They would immediately be my second SL team if they went up So, I am happy either way.

Man of Kent Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’d be very happy for Fev to finally scratch their Super League itch and I’m sure they will bring plenty of away support. It certainly wouldn’t be disastrous and they’d surely be one-season wonders anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I dont agree with the OP . If Fev get there it would be a fantastic achievement and a great story in itself , disaster is ridiculous hyperbole . Good on them if they do , theyll have earned it and it would be good to see a club with a rich history back at the top table . Toulouse winning would be another great story for different reasons , but either way its a positive if you want to see it , and the achievement will have been earned by right on the pitch as it always should be imo . The best team comes through by performance , i wish both well and hopes its a cracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm I could read that as SL organizing fixtures so say (randomly chosen) Warrington could play at Catalan in say week 12 ans then Toulouse in week 13 thus allowing their supporters and everyone when this combo is tried a week in France. If its Fev then the closeness of Leeds, Wakey, Cas and Fev should ensure at least some vibrant games and crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French teams just bring extra costs to all other Super League clubs. Will Fev if promoted bring any new fans to the game? Will Fev if promoted bring any new sponsors to the game?

DimmestStar Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Featherstone meet all criteria and are certain to be promoted if they beat Toulouse. I don't even know why this has been questioned because there isn't the slightest doubt about this. Same goes for Toulouse, they too of course will be promoted if they win the final. If there was a criterion of being in a predominantly Rugby League area then of course Fev would win hands down. Toulouse is and will always be a Rugby Union stronghold. Happily the outcome will be decided by who is better on the pitch in the final. Thank goodness for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams bring different things but both will be a novelty. Hypothetical benefits that one club bring over the other are just waffle in the wind, no-one knows how things with pan out. Whoever wins the day deserves to be there, I just hope it's Fev.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
