Hardly a national sponsor? It's a partnership with the NHS so it's a bit national. |

| Quote: EastHullUTR "The double header would be an even better event with another English based side their IMO. Would create some atmosphere it does seem like Warrington will be the best supported there. Leeds haven't sold as many as previous semis have they?'"
Catalans will be the best supported there as they’ll have three sets of fans! |

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.
