No, not at all. It was a simple observation that Hull FC will have turned a profit by selling packages to existing fans....a good move but most certainly not a long term viable strategy.
Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Classics, threads like these, full of people complaining rather then putting reasonable and well thought through suggestions forward.'"
No complaint here....just keen to see the point of it as having spoken to a mate in Fair Meadow (3 miles from wollongong) there's nothing to say there's a game on soon.....
Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "I'll give you the Wigan argument straight from the shareholders meeting and season launch night from Ian Lenagan. The club expect to make somewhere in the region of £300K - £400K from the matches/trip. That's more than from a Wembley or Grand Final.'"
Expecting and getting are 2 very different things. IL claimed 5k making the trip was the target......any noises from the club about that target being hit?
When are Wigan going back to The Den?  |

They couldn't even get 5k across to Donny for the semi final in 2016 so I'll bare my backside on the steps of Wollongong's Steelers Bar steps if 5k Wigan fans turn up!! |

It’s 5,000 fans from outside of NSW not just Wigan - www.hullfc.com/news/2017-07-26-h ... -next-year
Don’t believe everything you read especially from Gutterfax.
We (allegedly) took 4,500 to Sydney in 2014 (think it was actually probably half than that) but 5,000 non-NSW natives is probably an easy target. |

That makes more sense and with the numbers expected from our side, should be more than reachable

I would love it if the whole population of Wigan now made the trip down under 
Have a great trip Karen it certainly doesn't get much better for any RL fans than watching their club play 2 games in Australia |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

That's a rehashed article based on press releases. The Hull FC one is a direct quote of the 5,000 figure.
Do keep up.

Yeah that’s exactly what I said isn’t it.
I’ve already proven the 5k figure came from NSW and not IL, why are you even still here?

Would love to know how IL has reached his £400k profit from one match number, anybody have any ideas?

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£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.
