what's the point of misquoting someones quote ?
never tried snails btw - that's for the real froggies,not pseudos like me !
I'm a Saints fan,do they eat snails ?
what I feel is what I have written,including apologising for any offence caused...don't try to tell me what I feel.
btw en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse_Olympique_2010 &
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse_Olympique the 2009 figures are interesting
thanks

I'm very partial to Escargot, as it happens, and Cuisses de grenouilles also.
Don't knock it until you've tried it.

yeh,you're right,I should try them both - strange,thirty odd years in france and never tried them ?
they do stir-fried frogs legs in the local chinky,i'll try them next time,apparently it tastes like chicken.
I love winkles so probably snails are a bigger version ? - problem with the french way of snail eating is that they are a bit too heavy on the garlic when only a pinch would be enough for me - but then again,i'm a fussy old b****r

| I think that unfortunately the average crowd in Toulouse will stay around 1500 - 2000. The South-West of France is predominantly rugby union and that won't change. Who knows what the RFL were thinking by bringing in another French team when Catalans still need focus (IMO). But even though it is a long way to go, you'd be far stretched to find a more welcoming club and supporters in the heartlands. I haven't had the chance to go with Fax but I did go and watch the Challenge Cup Quarter Final match against Widnes back in 2005 (I was living out there and hadn't seen a RL match since Xmas - withdrawal sypmtoms meant I'd have watched any team!). I went on my own and had a brilliant day out mingling with both sets of supporters. There are clubs a lot closer to home I wouldn't think about visiting on my own. So they don't have the biggest crowds and you've got to cross the Channel and France to get there - they're a good club, fans enjoy it and whether we like it or not they are showing that they can compete with the top teams on their day. Is that not better than every team being a walkover? If we can win that trophy again at the end of the season then it really will have been another achievement.
And sanjunien - cuisses des grenouilles - elles sont bonnes. il faut les goûter!

yer that was one we 'fixed' tell us something new pal.
Think what you like I just know it was sad to see such an empty ground.
I heard from a work colleague that Huddersfield are giving away free tickets for Friday to 'bump' the crowd up.
What has the game come to chasing PR numbers, even if they don't pay!
How sad.

| Quote sanjunien="sanjunien"You sound just like your coach,a bad loser - your lads expected to turn up and take the three points and totally disregarded the opposition - I don't think i've seen such a deflated coach at a press conference.For some reason the swagger and confidence at the corresponding game last year has disappeared ! Visiting Toulouse was great when you were winning then wasn't it ? All of a sudden it's "not so appealing",I wonder why ?
Regarding the crowd - I didn't bother to count them personally,silly me ! I asked in the club office after the game when MC was trying to get a dvd copy and this was the figure announced to me - don't whinge at me if the figure is correct or not,ok ? To say there were 500 is a complete joke - stop with the sour grapes please.
If our great game game is dying in the english heartlands then what else can we do ? I'm sure the RFL would love to survive with the game in it's traditional areas if only to save money on ventures like france etc but the truth is it isn't doing very well so you have to look for business elsewhere.If you people in the heartlands don't want the game then what is the RFL supposed to do ?'"
Firstly visiting Toulouse is great first time around and in the summer!
Second no sour grapes from me about the match we lost to the better team on the night, why say that to me?
Third, you had a go at Hunslets crowd yet as I said if there were 500 on Saturday at Toulouse that was about right. Why is what I saw with my own eyes a complete joke as you say?
Toulouse is a RU city, seeing the RU clubs set up on the way to the airport I can see why its very impressive, they also had a shop and even a cafe at the airport, a big club!
I think that there is only room for one French club in the English game as you have to ask is it worth spending a fortune on another paying teams to travel and put them up for two nights must cost a bomb!
Not worth it imo, not even a trip for the fans, soz.
