| Quote Sunset="Sunset"Yet again today, no presence at all from your fans at a game in England.
Many of us have enjoyed visiting Perpignan and have boosted the economy of the city year after year. What have you done for the English clubs and their cities and towns? How long can this ridiculous situation be sustained, particularly in the prevailing recession? Many English clubs are losing money and they could really do with a club in the SL who can provide fans through the gates TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION, rather than yourselves. You contribute nothing to the finances of other SL clubs, whilst most SL clubs contibute much to Catalans Dragons. Would you be happy if the situation were reversed?
The game needs to expand but WILL NOT be helped by this continuing farcical situation. Charity starts at home (ie: England), not in France!
The usual response to such posts is to call the poster a 'flat capper'. Do so if you wish but I'd rather hear from someone who could provide a solution which would actually see your club making a positive contribution.'"

You must regard every game as an away game as where you're from it's six hours from Perpignan.

| Quote roopy="roopy"I think what seems to have been a Catalans policy of not buying English players has been a mistake.
They would have a much bigger English following if they had consistantly had 5 or 6 English players rather than 5 or 6 from Aus and NZ. It would also help with player networks etc.'"
This one is the funniest as surely the OP is on a wind up. This one is genuine i think.

| Quote Sunset="Sunset"Many replies but still no solutions on offer.
How are your club and fans contributing financially to SL?
Many clubs have their lowest attendances of their seasons when playing Catalans and London at home. This would not be the case if they were playing Featherstone, Halifax etc. So, how can you contribute more?
To those who have made contributions to this thread already, please don't do it again unless you have answers to the above. Derisory comments and nothing else only tend to confirm that the point I'm making is a valid one.'"
The one thing i would say for the fans who travel over is that they are easily the most enthusiastic and great fans to sit with.
I have had a great time sat with them at the magic events and at Edinburgh had a great time sat with the blood and gold.
Hopefully i will catch up with them at the etihad.
They also have some of the best moustaches of any fans in the game. I have seen nothing like it since watching Jean de Florete.

| Quote Olyy="Olyy"Average home attendance for Catalans: 8728
Average home attendance for Widnes: 6316
Average home attendance for London: 3044
Average home attendance for Castleford: 7846
Obviously a portion of our home attendance will be traveling fans, however the same can be said for the Widnes, London and Castleford attendance, so the fact that we have between 1 and 5,000 extra (on average) cancels out the lower number of travelling fans.'"
-uh? if your home crowd is 8,000+you think a few hundred of your lot could make the EFFORT for a least ONE away fixture ? ive yet to see more than twenty,if that,at a wire home game  most of those seemed to with the team coach?nobody says you should travel every week,but,jeez,would be nice to see a least one big turn out of your fans,like wire do when we play you away  and i dont expect a big turn out from you at wembley,as i think we will beat you nxt wk anyway

people don't have the money mate - Perpignan is an area of relatively high unemployment and the average french person who is in work will not use their precious holidays to grace the jewels of the northwest like Warrington.....

warrington also has high unemployment and other social probs  but its not really the point i have been trying to make  its just when your fans make statements like -,and i quote,We can beat who we want at Brutus,just comes across as a bit smug,coming from fans who never travel to away games.anyway,we all have our opinion and thats mine.looking forward to a good game and ,hopefully, a wire win

the lad that made that statement has been to two SL games in england this season FWIW
should be a cracking game but this weekends game against Hudds is a must win for Robinson whilst the Cup is welcome distraction...

Our record is good at home under Robinson. We have to be confident going into any home game. That ain't smug. And the number of home games I've been to is comfortably outweighed by the aways.

| I agree, a stupid post (sorry Sunset). The whole idea of having the Dragons in Superleague is to develop the game in France, not to provide additional away fans for other clubs. They have proved to be an excellent addition to the game.

|  sorry this thread is ridiculous I couldnt spend
ÂŁ70 flights if your lucky
ÂŁ40 hotel
ÂŁ20 ticket average
ÂŁ60 food and drink average
ÂŁ20 misc taxis, buses etc
ÂŁ210 average every other week per person then say that person has a partner and/or kids then what.
I have seen some pointless threads and posters but this is stupid.
Catalans bring more to the game than bums in seats it is spreading the greatest game of all. We wouldnt get half the tv monies minus les cats.
And I will echo as a previous poster has said about passionate fans SUPERB.

Don't talk about politics, I hate that. As a good hooligan, I only think to make troubles on a stadium and be completely drunk at the end of the game!
I bet on Tottenham. I always win with them, I made 200 euros with the Spurs!
