Quote: Him "I’ve just tried the code for future games and it doesn’t work.
The OP’s obsession with Toronto is bizarre. They seem to be doing virtually everything he’s said a new club should do and yet still seems determined to slag them off.
The sport gets poor crowds Gutterfax complains. The sport gets better crowds Gutterfax complains.'"
Nah....sorry, but no way.
Toronto will deliver a little bit of extra press.....but to emphasise how minimal Canada is in the terms of North America, I would consider Toronto to be as influential in America as Carlisle is in the UK.
We get a hard on for a rich aussie in Toronto, because it's different....London, with the Skolars and the Broncos running sides that are 70% organic is the future, not some rich tool throwing cash at promotion and buying success...........the fact is that tickets were available FOC.......and they will be again.
The real issue here is that the RFL/SL are happy for the freakshow, because up until Good Friday, you couldn't find attendances in the general press.....and by Easter Monday, they had vanished again.....but Toronto going up will be headline news and backslapping central at the head office.....because we'll forget that SL crowds are still at 2006 levels, whilst other sports including soccer and union as well as netball are all on the rise.......Man United are up 18% in that period.....the Union premiership are up 38%, we're down 8%.......DOWN......
.....and a rich bloke paying for people to attend a beer festival in the summer months and not doing anything to actually grow the development of players isn't going to change that at all.....other than giving SKY TV a Sunday evening filler which they won't pay for!
