To be honest NR, I loved the weekends in France and I'm sort of hoping they'll be down the bottom end and we can play them again over there next year - may well go again anyway, match or no match!

For the local derbies though, I think, if we can take a decent support on these matches, with many of them being on much smaller grounds than we've been used to in SL, not to mention crowds being generally thinner on the ground, we may well make up a good proportion of the total gate and create a really good atmosphere at quite a few of them - with a good run on the field it could be a bit like that season in the seventies, when we won promotion - and hopefully, at the end of it, who knows, with a bit of luck?

I must admit I don't get to many away games now, but we still seem to take a reasonable away following even by SL standards. So I am sure for many of the teams we will be playing next year getting a 1000 or so Bulls fans through the gate will be good extra income from them - say £20k. Seem to have gone off topic, but there are still more positive things around our sport than a handful of nutters

the most shameful reaction has to be that Widnes chief executive James Rule who declined to comment according the Eurosport report I read.

I thought RL didn't exist in the world of eurnosport. Oh sorry, it was a negative news item.
