JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

Witchcraft.......as well you know.

77,825 attended Quins home game on December 30th 2017.......... that's how quins average 22k. But because it's Union you'll no doubt question its legitimacy.....unlike Wigan v Hull attracting 12,416 in 'stralia which is "league leading the way".....Saracens are taking a home game to the Olympic stadium later this month....I reckon they should be burnt at the stake! :CRAZY:

Toulouse, after some nervous moments, ran away with the game against diabolical Dewsbury, winning 40-20. Toulouse scored seven (7) tries to four (4).

Another great result for Toulouse, London and Toronto. It would be brilliant if all 3 gained promotion.

Yes and what with the charismatic Catalans winning this weekend, you can bet erectile dysfunction won't be a problem for Chorley john this weekend :ROCKS:

How would it be brilliant? Toulouse play on a pitch with a shed to one side that holds 4k but gets 1k, London play at a wedding venue with fewer than 900 guests and Toronto.......god knows where they'll be playing their "home" games next year, let alone their beer festivals?
None of them bring anything in terms of "extra value" through additional TV revenues, sponsorship or even media interest, only London run a youth set up and them replacing HKR, Catalans and Salford would trip 10-15% of the SL average attendance figures, thus further devaluing our fiscal value to potential partners.

Probably the most unlikely scenario in the whole history of RL. Sums up the intellect of Sir KS.

At least he didn't say that phrase "for the good of the game".

Unless there is a rule change to accommodate all 3, they wont all gain promotion.
Do you think they are stronger than Catalan, Salford, KR, Huddersfield :CRAZY: :CRAZY:

Unless one of the current SL clubs implode, which could happen, there may be no change come the end of the season.
Salford look a little vulnerable right now and KR aren't quite up to speed but, Huddersfield and Catalan will be ok.

I do like the look of a Toulouse v Catalan MPG, that would be a belter :ROCKS:

CMG you turncoat, you clearly still harbour some bitterness towards the Broncos because they turned you down for the marketing job. Move on ;) 500 yesterday when we mauled the Benign Bulldogs :)
