Whilst I'd had enough of covid protocols and changes in laws/advice to be bothered taking notice, and as I'm not intending travelling abroad til next year at least, I'm unsure of the uk law at the time tho french law was a little clearer. I believe fev were prohibited from travelling to their away fixture. It matters not. An opportunity presents itself on Sunday for fev to get promoted. Normally I'm a half empty miserable b'stard, but all year I've said fev will win and it'll be in Toulouse. Not going is getting to me now. I'm going to miss our promotion game.

Tbf there are a sizeable minority of Cas, Fev and Wakey Fans who support clubs other than Leeds United, (Man United, Huddersfield Town or the Sheffield clubs being the most prevalent) which in my experience only increases their spite to the Rhinos. As I said though, still a minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the last thing it needs actually, 3 SL clubs within a 10 mile radius is utter madness. 2 French clubs in SL meanwhile will be awesome. Try something new to actually spread and grow the game. Please just win Toulouse…… In what radius could you fit Wigan Warrington St Helens Leigh Salford? or even Widnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite sports were allowed to continue under review.

As far as I was aware, the french govt retained the power to restrict/refuse admission at their borders.

I'm told they did, but wouldn't know the numbers We have a vast fan potential out there, but for reasons unknown to me we never exploit it. It seem we keep relying on a ever sinking fan base from RL areas in the past. Much the same with junior development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They possibly could have gone although probably not as the Governing body weren't authorising the games. The RFL had said games in France weren't going ahead for PT clubs so they would not have supplied match officials and any game would have probably led to sanctions against the clubs involved.

That's different to what I read at the time - which was about how clubs were not required to go unless they were full time. I can't remember seeing anything that said the matches wouldn't be sanctioned, and I can't see anything now via a (admittedly quick) google. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

What you've just typed there are blatant lies. Part time teams could have travelled and played in France if they were able to and wanted to and on the flipside of that didn't have to travel to play in France. Either choice taken would not have resulted in sanctions or the club being penalised. Where did you get this information from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
