Quote: Budgiezilla "It's just a French rugby league team playing a home game in Spain. Hardly 'earth shattering' sports news.
Indeed, but the persecution complex of some RL fans is laughable.

Of course there’s an article on the rugby league part of the website. I think people are rightfully complaining about the prominence of the BBC’s coverage of it.
It was a big game. The 2nd biggest sports event involving a British team yesterday. Yet little mention of it and on the BBC Sport site the article is below articles on Taekwondo, women’s football, netball and Ice Hockey.
I don’t expect the BBC to make it major national news. I just think we rarely get the prominence our crowds deserve and this is another example of it.

The stark reality is, only one man and his dog follow RL, and his dog only watches because the man feeds him.
The game is stale, has been for a while. I honestly believe RL has run it's course, there better things to do than watch the guy in the middle ruin what was 9nce a great game.
If you go on the BBC RL website now (7:25am) you can listen the Bradford v Halifax live? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league
They didn't give 2 scoots about RL do they?

£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

8k average is 3td tier soccer standard. How anyone can demand more covwrage based on a demographic that is northern and consists of 50,000 people watching 6 games a week that gets 150,000 TV viewers a game is laughable......
Eurovision gets 200,000,000 viewers and yet is derided....... That's the reality of todays media....
