[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

| Quote: Gallanteer "Can't trust Leeds to get anything right but Hicks was ridiculously biased and took the vid ref to overturn 2 bad decisions that favoured Toronto.
If we can't beat Widnes by 14 or more than we deserve to be in the MPG away at London. That stated, I can see it now, 14 up and the ref manufactures a penalty under the sticks for Widnes so Toronto get promoted. The RFL obviously want Toronto in SL and they can't hide it.
Ultimately though, this Leeds side as an SL team are an absolute joke - everyone but Leeds fans and the RFL can see it. If Salford had beaten them last week (a manufactured Hastings ban 2 weeks before and the penalty in the game) and they would already be in the MPG.'" Complaining about the RFL being 'biased' because of an imaginary scenario that hasn't actually happened and you have made up. Hahahahaha. |

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.
