Who goes to school in August?
Selling them to the general public in London is a better idea. Lots of locals attend England games in London, the Challenge Cup Final needs to be marketed to these fans |

Can anyone explain why, when Toulon RFC and Clermont RFC, 2 Union clubs from the South East of France managed to get 50,000 fans to a game in Dublin 3 weeks after they won their semi-finals, we think that Catalans will only bring 5,000?
Catalans average attendance is about 7,500......St Helens is 11,500, but apparently St Helens would have brought nearly 2 times whilst catalans will only bring 66% of theirs?

Back talking crap again - wakefield always sel there allocations for cup semi finals and would easily take 20k plus. Do you seriously think Leeds has the monopoly on bandwagon jumpers. Only an idiot would mix up a teams core support with that which turns out for success - but then it is you.
Last time wakefield played Widnes in a CC was 1979 and between us we filled the place - yet at the time both clubs average attendances were the same as now - so work out Einstein. |

.....and?
The revenue from the CC Final is of no concern to HKR, or any other of the top 2 tier sides, who are to a man jack funded by SKY, their own fans and sponsors and their owners.....tickets start at £20 a pop....if a Neutral RL fan can't be bothered to visit the capital for one of the 2 showpiece games in the club game, then so be it, but te empty seats won't be the fault of Catalans.....just lazy RL fans and the RFL.... |

2016 Challenge Cup Semi-finals....20,846 fans for Wire v Wakey and Wigan v Hull with 6,205 empty seats across the 2 stadiums and 1,642 of those at the Wakey Wire game.
It's all well and good having a pop at Sir Kev (he deserves it) but the acts don't back up your claims of selling allocations for semi-finals |

This isn't a HKR board why are you bringing up Rovers? I'm more then aware the empty seats won't be Les Dracs fault |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

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.
