I believe that Toronto are targeting certain away games and marketing trips accordingly. They have back to back away games at Wakefield and Huddersfield as one package and they are also looking at a package for the Hull FC away game to include a trip to the Challenge Cup final the weekend before.

Sounds sensible, the reality is a trip to Toronto is attractive to RL fans from the UK, but the reverse trip isn't quite comparable.

If you’ve got a week there are some decent options. Bit of Bronte Country, a trip to York, the Dales, Liverpool the home of the Beatles... we take this stuff for granted because it is familiar. Places like London and Edinburgh are in fairly easy reach too, especially by Canadian standards. If you’re Canadian, it’ll be foreign, exotic and that bit more interesting.

I’ve considered going over to Toronto, but tbh i’d have to do a bit of research to come up with a varied itinerary.

Pity they don't generate players.

Why is it "fair" they are in Superleague when all they generate is a massive debt

You'll go to any extreme to justify this fake club :wink:

Not good for TV.
Not producing SL players
Generating debt.

Sounds like a standard SL club to me. Just one with bigger crowds and a higher profile.

Why do people focus on the negatives. Why don't we all focus on the positives that they bring and give them time to work on those negatives.

I mean, if we scrutinized any other club as much as some do on Toronto, the negatives would be heavily weighted compared to the positives.

A lot of money brought into RL, a lot of exposure in media across the world, huge market for fans, sponsors, players etc opened in Canada and North America.

Money - where, how much
Sponsors - where, how much
Players (and I need to change my underwear from wetting myself) where, who, past it Wilkin?
There is NO EVIDENCED MARKET, just an aussie with deep pockets.

I have to say thanks for totally proving my point though.

The money has gone straight into players pockets, none of it has gone to the game. They promised to put more money into the game by getting an NATV deal but they have no chance of that.

Huge Market for fans? How does that give us a penny here?

NA sponsors won't pay clubs here to advertise anything??

There are no pro NA players and no system for developing them

What's needed to get you to understand the reality of the situation is for Wakefield to get relegated whilst TWP stay up........ :wink:

Uncle Eric perez told us what TWP would bring to the game here anyway - New players and new TV money.

And they didn't bring either so your completely wrong.....
