| Quote: AXE2GRIND "If the average price of attending a game in SL is say £20, then the 2019 season saw in excess of £30,000,000 taken on the gate at SL games including play-offs and the Grand Final.
£2,500,000 average gate income per club is more than £1,800,000 TV money that those clubs receive. I am all for off the cuff remarks when they are accurate, but yours is not...by any stretch even remotely that.
Sponsors you say?
HKR are sponsored by a local company who specialise in Domestic and Commercial Drain Cleaning in the Hull Area......Wigan are sponsored by another local company, as are LEEDS BUILDING SOCIETY on the shirts of the Rhinos....do you really think these firms are trying to grab customers in London by sponsoring the local RL side
You’re talking about having reduced away support though, due to Toronto fans not travelling. With respect, 500 away fans, by your average, brings in £10k. That’s before you open the away stand, police and steward it, pay for utilities and kiosk staff. I’d argue you’d get more home fans that don’t have season tickets go to watch SBW and the like than a normal lower end of the table team, so it’s swings and roundabouts. If ticket sales were that important, and away ticket sales at that, Warrington wouldn’t have to travel to Hull on a Thursday twice this year. Away support is pennies on the bottom line. Toronto can worry about their own home support.
Regarding the sponsorship, the only reason sponsors are local brands is due to those seeing the game. Spread the game wider, more brands are likely to consider it due to wider coverage. Keep playing to the same audience and you’ll keep getting the same results. Brands like Hoover and Air Transat will be thinking a little bigger than sales in the Calder region I would hope, the sponsors are there, clubs just need to be ambitious and pitch a brand that can spread far and wide. Having the local chippy on a shirt is hardly a badge of honour.
The anti-Toronto/expansion agenda is ridiculous. People have moaned about not getting any coverage for years, then get jealous and moan about a new club making mainstream media in the middle of the off season. If there’s a club that can do that, without it being a scandal, we’ve not seen them since Wigan in the 80’s and 90’s

| League Weekly are reporting that London Skolars have released a statement advising that Toronto have failed so far to pay monies due to them in relation to the 'sizeable minority stake' purchased in December 2018.

Self-virtuous hypocrite: |
|
| Can we rename this to "The general whining about Toronto" thread then we have it all in one place and all the other threads might stop getting locked?

On this topic they also owe a bit of backpay to players they have released. Never did Salford any harm though
