Yep. Because they'd rather have had Widnes in, with their nice, neat ground.
Sure, Crusaders made it easy for them, but that's the way they think.

| Expansion will never happen while the sport is under Sky and the Beeb employ people like Jon Inverdale, old school rah rahs.

They put us up against wakey for a licence remember, having told us to manufacture an attendance so we could apply and then helped us to put our application together. All to give the pretence their rotten system was working.
They then publicly berated our application because we had to guess what our income would be should we be in super league.
Would we have been any worse than Wakefield? Crusaders were hung out to dry by the RFL, the system was geared up to getting them in by hook or by crook and when they went pop the RFL happily let them stand aside so they didn't have to admit a SL club was failing and had to go. So no, the chances of going up under licencing were just as low, unless you were an "expansion" club not ready for it.
The years of lack of funding and lack of interest in championship clubs during licencing has now led to this ridiculous situation where championship clubs are trying to play catch up with that massive disparity in funding over the years to topple a SL club. It won't happen.
The sport is ruined, has little commercial value, has little money, is badly marketed and blindly run but yet sticks with the same muppets that created the mess.'"
This post is, unfortunately, spot on. We all know it yet the clowns sat in Red Hall continue on their merry little way.

| Well looking on the Bulls forum, sadly their fans are less interested than ours are. Bringing the prices down has also alianeted a few more of their season ticket holders as well. Sounds like a right atmosphere will be produced.

Loving the hypocrisy of some.: |

| What really gets my goat is that there isnt a collective group bringing the RFL to task. In football you have the Football Supporters Federation which keeps a watchful eye on the authorities however the RFL seem to get away with every ridiculous idea with little more than some grumbling on internet forums.

I read that the season ticket sales have gone really well, so far, in Toronto but their flights and accommodation are being funded by the RFL, as are the flights and accommodation for the teams travelling to Toronto.

| I watched Dave Woods interview Eric Perez (CEO of Toronto) and he said the sponsorship portfolio he's put together will more than cover all the costs for travel etc. Wouldn't surprise me if RFL were bank rolling em though but suppose history will tell

It always does. Folk start to wonder why they bought one. And, more importantly, whether they'll buy one next season.
Pricing is a tough decision.

Folk often forget that, ultimately, the clubs collectively make these decisions. If they want to spend their money on Toronto, I'd be surprised, but it's still their decision.
