[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1025517, member: 73144"] Hidden behind a paywall, but good article on how the top 2 French leagues work together, for instance under a common TV deal - £97m split 65:35. Pre COVID crowds in French 2nd tier were 5,000. Over here 1,700. Fra requires a stadium, Ampthill’s ground didn’t even have a stand when they got promoted. 16 of each match day squad must be French. And some good comments about the huge development in the French 2nd tier from Richard Hill (the original - ex SH) who’s been coaching Rouen for 8 years.
