| Free tickets or no free tickets , it was an impressive turnout for a club three years into its life , a sizeable number or Toronto citizens are showing an interest in the club and the sport
Can clubs over here learn or use similar ways to build their support bases ? , Possibly some of them to a lesser degree , but ultimately it does require one thing most clubs here don't have , a billionaire , able and willing to write a blank cheque to do whatever they decide , they have got the plan right along with a couple of starters , 1 a city centre stadium , 2 a virtually guaranteed wining team , also being a ' new ' sport without history , they then are able to attract various demographics from the local population , be that a cheap day out for families , a drinking venue with a party atmosphere as well as hard core sports fans looking for off season options to Hockey
Difficult for existing UK heartland clubs to imitate , and it possibly might be for other new clubs , only time will tell

I'd expect any Bulls fans making the trip from the UK would already have bought their tickets, wouldn't you? I know when I travel to watch the Wolfpack in the UK, I always make sure to buy a match ticket in advance.

Some might not have recovered from their blistered feet with all that walking up and down on concrete for 80mins.

That's not the point reffy was making,so you never answered his question.

There isn’t a Hull KR fan on here complaining plus we’ve played them twice and beat them twice

Not at all threatened....why would I feel threatened when a/ I know we are going down and b/ they choked against us at home in the MPG
Toronto are not the answer to the woes of the sport.......they are a sideshow, a gimmick, a fantasy......you and your multiple persona's are well aware of this.

| A casual reminder that in recent years two Super League doors have flung the gates open and advertised that admission is free and could not draw a crowd as high as Toronto last night.
I don't think anyone is claiming that all tickets last night were free?

either or.....unless it's a gimmick or a 4 stop bus trip, RL fans won't attend games, especially if it involves changing buses.
London, to be fair to Hughes, are delivering players through their academy.....but Argyle and Perez are polar opposites in their vision, with the Aussie Billionaire happy to massage hs ego and buy a round at games, whilst perez has a longer term vision....THEY'RE BOTH WASTING THEIR TIME BTW......in 25 years, London as received close to £50,000,000 central funding and quite probably another £50,000,000 in personal finance.....they play out of a wedding venue, nobody knows they exists and nobody really cares.
In terms of sport........Wimbledon FC were relegated, relocated, "cloned", reborn and still get more fans to either identity than London Broncos do......how can you spend 100 million quid and ed up with just 435 season ticket holders........let that figure sink in...£100,000,000 = 435 Season ticket holders

| I really don’t believe some of utter bile being spouted on here, please tell me what is wrong with people watching a game of Rugby League? Why would any fan of the game want Toronto to fail? What has it cost any one posting on here or the club they follow? It has cost the game in the UK nothing it has shown a pathway for others to follow, if it fails what harm has it done to the rest of the teams here? I for one will try to visit if our team plays them.

We have played them and by your own admission you won’t attend our home games if it’s a night match because it’s to late for you
