Fantastic result for the game.
The Flat Cappers are gutted so that means it's a good thing.. ![]()
Why would all the London hipsters be gutted? Their the only ones wearing flat caps these days...
In all serious though, good luck to Toronto but I can't see the team lasting more than 5 years before the owner gets frustrated, you can already see a noticeable drop in attendances and I just can't see it sticking.
Don't get why the RFL keep gambling on these long shots to grow the game instead of trying to increase grassroots RL, getting the game played in schools etc... like how every other sport tries to grow itself...
From a Leeds perspective I am just happy the season is over!

Probably cause it's that weak you can barely class it as beer! |

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.
