Neutral venue is obviously right, but it is fair to say Toronto V Toulouse shouldn't really be played in northern England. Not much option though really, as that would still be better than Featherstone V Halifax being played in France.

£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

Option 1. Announce the game, make it an event and market it all season through the 14 champ and 12 SL clubs
Option 2. Leave it until the last minute and then offer discount codes and reduced prices....
Thank god it's not the RFL we're talking about........Oh. Hang on
Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "Should be highest ranked team at home, as it was with the million pound game.'"
It’s a final, it should be on neutral ground. Pick Canada, Leigh, France or Santiago as long as the final is fair, neutral and known in advance..... everything’s fine.... you know, Like sport should be.
Wish we could have played in the GF last year at home.
