Beats only one winner every year but you may not be old enough to remember Wigan's tedious domination of every competition(s), when crowds were far lower than they are now.

Cheap pop meets cheap pop

Surely FC’s average should be 10k? Given your example of Toronto!

You do remember that Toronto went bust trying to "chase the SL dream".
Nobody can deny that they did exceptionally well in marketing and promoting the game but, ultimately, they blew several million dollars in just a few short seasons and those that believe in a transatlantic league, especially mid pandemic, need to have a lie down in a dark room.
Totally agree about the international game, which is being hampered by the insular view of the NRL, who, just aint bothered about the rest of the game.
The stunt that they have pulled regarding the world cup is just appalling.

1. They didn't go bust their benefactor who was and still is a billionaire as his Brazilian Potash mines never stopped working, decided to just pack it in on a whim caused by Melbourn Storm looking like they may let him take a stake.

2. They didn't market or promote the game at all. They promoted a big beer festival on every matchday and gave away free tickets and left gates open, then made up the attendances.

3 Several Millions? It was $$30 Million they blew

4. What's new? everyone has an idea of what they would do that would see half of Britain turning to Superleague. that's because dreams are more fun than reality.

on resumption of the game after the first world war these clubs were prominent . Leeds, Hull, Oldham, Rochdale, Warrington. Wigan, Bradford, Wakefield, HKR, Huddersfield, Widnes, York, Dewsbury, Batley, Halifax keighley, Salford, Leigh, St.Helens, Swinton, Batley etc etc ,

When the clubs meet in August to decide the TV money some of these clubs may finally disappear....

But "how to make the game grow like mad" posts will never disappear, and I'm not trolling either

Got to be another wind up

I LOVE this types of threads.

Let’s sprinkle some glitter on the game and it will rake in MILLIONS…

Someone above suggesting we TRICK fans into watching the game in hope they enjoy it. Yes sure that will work they won’t realise they are watching rugby league and will fall in love….

Re brands and mergers… just because you re brand it liverpool surely means ALL of liverpool will turn up. I mean that’s the only reason they aren’t going at the moment because the name ‘st Helens’ puts them off …..

Do us Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield fans go support Leeds when are teams are thrown to the side?

joke of the week that pal

We don't need a rebrand but a 10 year plan to

1 increase teams in super League to 16

2 reduce clubs reliance on TV money

4 negotiate a better deal with sky or sell fixtures in packages to multiple broadcasters

5 significantly increase or scrap the cap.

6 strip back the rules, stop the interpretations and overcomplicating of rules.

Bradford were only relevant between 1997 and 2004 so all the other years, Bradford residents supported Leeds

Increase teams to 16 lmao.

I mean Bradford were super league winners in 2005 but ok.

Im sure if you looked at attendance figures you would see how untrue your statement was but I see you’ve already earned a reputation on here. I’m sure you disappear and a new name will pop up soon enough.

This is the classic thinking though. In line with ‘let’s merge wakey and Cas together and double the crowd… im sure both set of fans will still turn up regardless’. Just doesn’t work my friend. Like it or not most fans support their team rather than the wider game. A similar story for chairman. The problem is the chairman run the game so it’s a game of protect what you’ve got now.
