haha if nothing else I have to admire your stubbornness.

I think alot of their attendance woes in the league have to do with their the way the bolougne boys or whatever they're called run half the stadium. Lots of north africans who fill up most of the burbs won't even go when they associate the club with right wing nationalist fans who crap on immigrants and minorities but the catchment area for the club is so huge, the potential is just limitless.

I went to a cup final at the stade de france a few years ago, two medium/small clubs with maybe 10-15K in travelling support and the stadium was completely sold out, always felt there is such huge growth potential for a club team in that market and in french football in general, if not to join the big 4 at least to be clearly the 5th best league in europe.
