Toronto already has twice as many fans as Salford. Toulouse, if promoted to Super League, will attract thousands more fans than Salford can.

The sooner that Salford and Widnes are replaced by Toronto and Toulouse, the sooner the British media, corporate sponsors, and the British public will start to take Super League seriously.

Bet you St Helens, Warrington and Wigan can’t wait to play in front of empty stands of 0 supporters, 3 times a season.

One can also note that Catalans, before they entered Super League, never had more than 1500 fans at their games. Now they can get over 9,000 even against witless Widnes.

Expect Toulouse's fan base to emulate Catalans' fan base and rise exponentially once the team is admitted into Super League.

There were about 650 people at the Toulouse fev game last month. With a healthy contingent from Fev. Neither myself or my uncle paid to get in either as they were dishing out freebies in the queue.

Let me get this right, people were queuing up to pay to get in, when someone comes along offering free tickets?

Anyhow, regarding the match, I love watching Widnes when Houston plays, the gift that keeps on giving.

You two must have been at a different stadium.

They were dishing out free beer too, did the same at the Batley game (and others ) too
