£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. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

5th-8th is mid table mediocrity. More so this year as 1-4 were decided 8 weeks ago....you were playing dead rubbers and FC in freefall combined with Catalans still drunk after the cup and "bi-polar Huddrsfield below you is no real feat....ad you get the same money too.

ergo...now for another handout.
Quote: snowie "proof is in the pudding having three players in the dream team means we are going in the right direction'"
crumbs from the table....they couldn't just pick from the top 4 teams, but they really should have!
Quote: snowie "oh and good luck with game at the weekend I'll be rooting for you but you do realise you will be favourites for the drop next season '"
Thanks and as I've said, I don't really think we should go up and believe we may well be favourites to go up next season

We have pedigree....it's you lot that do the in-breeding
Back to the topic. Will Leigh be able to field 17?

Remember going down to watch Cas v Fulham. They had a cas based player playing for them and he was waiting outside the ground for us with a huge wad of "complimentary" tickets. Don't think any Cas fans actually paid in that day.

There was always a danger of this happening, when the extra game was slotted in at short notice, after the intended season-end. This is the time when most players have booked a well-earned holiday. The vast majority of Championship/League 1 clubs simply can't afford to pay the players to cancel those holidays.
