SL is currently broadcast in 32 countries with 28 taking live games....... Only 3 countries have SL shown behind a paywall.......whilst the rest are happy to use the games as a free filler between football and cricket.
Toronto (should they as expected win the MPG) are taking 1.8 million in sky money next year which means they must share their independent TV revenue with the other 11 sides....... What's one eleventh share of sweet f&&k all?

Reading the Operational Rules the MPG is supposedly a shared gate with The RFL setting admission prices......

..... Oh please tell me that the gate revenue will be included in the 2018 accounts........ PLEASE
London can use their share to buy...... Er...... Not lot.

My mates bar took 250 tickets and has handed out most of them...... Looking. Like a full house with an empty til this weekend.....

I understood that entrance prices for shared gates have to be agreed between the two clubs? Not sure how the RFL would be able to intervene, and equally not sure why London would agree to any freebies. Mr Dog, the operational rules are rather long - could you tell us the reference for the appropriate section?

Unfortunately I can't copy and paste from the Op Rules but:
You are correct in some shared gate admission prices being agreed by the clubs - A3.23 p31 refers to CC games (excluding SF and F) where admission prices are to be agreed by the 2 clubs

A3.19 p30 refers to the 2 clubs sharing the net gate receipts of the MPG equally after payment of any levy and match expenses.

A3.26 p34 refers to prices for admission to the MPG (and Shield and L1 semis and final) as coming under rule A3.24 (as applies to CC SF and final games).

A3.24 p32-33 refers to the RFL setting the prices and allocation of tickets, that ALL tickets will be paid for by the clubs at face value, with the money paid within 7 days of the game and unsold tickets returned in accordance with instructions (otherwise unsold tickets may have to be paid for).

A3.24 relates specifically to the Challenge Cup semi and final, but then A3.26 refers back to this to apply the same rules for the MPG, Championship Shield and others.

Well done for your detective work (the references are great, and you're right that you can't copy from the rules easily!) On the face of it, TWP are potentially breaking RFL operational rules if they're not selling tickets (ie. giving them away) at the prices set by the RFL?

In other news..... Facebook. Feel free to examine the number of likes and comments on a wolfpak post compared to say..... Your own. Nobody...... And I mean nobody is commenting and marwan gets more shares on twitter........ Its all very surreal

I suppose that there is always the possibility that TWP (or more likely Mr Argyle) are putting the cost of the 'free' tickets into the pot themselves.

From the TWP web-site for tomorrow's game... Kids go Free Building on the success of previous “kids go free” games on Canada Day Weekend and Labour Day Weekend, the Wolfpack will again extend free tickets to all Under 16s to encourage families to come together and enjoy a Thanksgiving celebration at The Den. Adults can claim up to 2 free Junior Tickets with each purchase. Season Ticket Holders wishing to add juniors, or fans bringing bigger groups of juniors, can do so by emailing ticketing@torontowolfpack.com. Season Ticket Holders / Members (Monday October 1st) As a sign of appreciation for their support throughout the season all 2018 Season Ticket Holders will be granted 2 x ticket vouchers for the game, allowing access for them and a friend or family member. Fans already signed up for 2019 Memberships will also be granted a ticket voucher. Emails will be sent at Monday lunchtime to communicate both offers and an exclusive link and password. CMG, perhaps you know if London (and the RFL) have agreed to this?

Not true. Fax didn't!

Fax didn't.

Actually, the MPG is NOT classed as part of the regular season passes so is all ticket. I'm sure other teams that have been in the MPG before will also testify that. Get your facts right.

I'd be very careful GW, it could turn out to be an RL version of Deliverance with you trying to escape the clutches of a certain Mr James.
