JESUS WEPT :WALL: 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. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

Funny you should ask rl

I see that some posters on here and at other sites were happy with the crowd in Denver, the same way that Argyle handing out tickets to borderline alcoholic Canadians is seen as the future of the game and now we have a gym teacher claiming to have £5 million with which to launch the game in America.....to put that into perspective, David Hughes invested a similar sum to that amount in 2015 and 2016 whilst in the championship. d040.gif d040.gif
NZRL were left with a 6 figure unpaid appearance fee. Mooresportsinternational.com website is down, but their Linked in still has 130 followers.... icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

cheers, I asked those who were pushing the denver game the same question, but I got no answers.

I said before the game it was destined for disaster, the whole USA thing is too, the Toronto thing might work for a few years but the AMNRL has be slipping for a few years, even their facebook page now just promoted Union stuff.

They need to invest in the local comp aroudn New York properly for 10 years to get it going and get an 8 team comp running there with proper IRL backing then Toronto have a league they can join to bring people through into the SL team they will probably get.

Ultimately though, the losses will be difficult to keep going with. I want to see the USA/CAnada succeed but I don't think we are capable. literally .

I see there is a conversation on another forum site in regards to Toronto suggesting that theie opposition fly to Canada on the Friday Night, returning immediately after the game. This is because some players were unhappy about having to fly into Glasgow, whereas if they play on Saturday then fly home straight away then they can go to Manchester.

Meanwhile, the cynic in me see's this as nothing more than a further cost cutting exercise which will only benefit Toronto as their part-time opponents will be knackered........

And it would seem that Ricky Wilby doesn't have the green light to join in 2020, but he is instead trying to whip up anti RFL fervour if his pipe dream is rejected.....as much as I hate the RL media and League Express in particular, I'll take them over a radio show broadcast by fat middle aged men out of The Game Caller's nan's garage. :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35.

Quote: the artist "so do you think the likes of the USA Canada Chile and jamaica should be playing RL? or should be just go back to GB Aus NZ and France?'"

Every nation that has a desire should be playing, but this is a gym teacher from Huddersfield thinking 5 million will cover 3 years by which stage NY will be profitable based on 5k gates in a 25k seat arena in a city with no Pedigree.....its a pipedream and one that could hurt the sport.
