[QUOTE="DonBilly, post: 2404"] Well I think that the numbers might be right but are not recent. It is surprising for example that as far as France is concerned that the biggest team Toulouse ranks third. From play offs the stadiums are full and in Toulouse this means 35 000. That the Stade Français, the Paris team is not mentioned. Their usual stadium (14000) is always full, and from the play off they play in the Stade des Princes (45000) not mentioning the final match of the French Top16 (national championship) is attended by more than 80 000 persons in the Stade de France. Anyway, I know and recognize that Rugby League is very popular in England and Australia and that in these two countries it is quite well marketed. In France it has some fame in some regions (in the South very close to the Spanish border) but it has radically declined. In the 50's League was as strong as Union. [/QUOTE]
