Better than the butcher's in Cleator or there is another good sausage maker in Cockermouth. I very well may come up for the 'Haven game, but nowadays I use the supporters coaches instead of driving so will be stuck for stopping of anywhere, will you be making the trip to Leigh Miner's with the Hornets?

If I went to Sellafield on a Thursday or Friday I would get a couple of feet of Cumberland Sausage, put them in the oven to cook and be ready in time for the kick off of the Friday night game, a jar of Colman's English to dip into and a few can's of draught Guinness to wash it down, heavenly.

Woodalls down the coast at Waberthwaite are the best but there a plenty of good ones. If I’m off & if the lad is playing I’ll probably come down,always enjoyed the trip to Miners & the long rivalry & mutual respect between the clubs.

The marché Victor Hugo is rated one of the best in the world. I've had great times in there. One year, Campbell was the only director travelling from fev. TO had laid on a reception so Mark invited me n Rich over. There was best oysters, prawns, cheese, charcuterie ever and great wine.... on top of some serious painkillers..... its fair to say I needed to nap before kick off.

JohnM Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I only asked the question so I could use the word Toulouse in a topic about....Toulouse. Not been there for 15 years or more and then only a flying visit to Microturbo. Flew in and out in 1/2 a day. Saw nothing of the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Rover Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 12 hours ago, Sir Kevin Sinfield said: The expansion club who were given no central funding and made to pay away teams travel costs. They would of been in Super League 2022 if we were willing to give them a share of the central funding, sadly we opted against that, they averaged 7000+ in the Championship, who knows how big they could of become in Super League. But you’ve got to say going for Leigh instead last year was the right decision, interest in Super League went through the roof with Leigh’s inclusion. I was listening to the Sadler-Hogan interview, Hogan was at the original Gateshead Thunder Super League club. I was shocked to hear they only received 50% of the central funding compared to other Super League clubs. Neither Toronto or Gateshead stood a chance without an equal share as Wakefield, Salford and the rest get. Catalans are the only expansion club who’ve been given any preferential treatment (exemption from relegation for 3 years) and they are a massive success and now one of our biggest Super League clubs. Why do we keep making the same mistakes, give expansion a chance. Toronto was such a missed opportunity. They could have been the stepping stone to increasing Super Leagues media profile but instead they were seen as an inconvenience. Catalans had the three years exemption then licensing started so they had nine guaranteed years in Super League and have been competitive more often than not and are as a result. There could have been the chance to do the same with Toulouse and consolidate a big city presence in the league but lessons are not being learnt.
