I believe that the bits in Bold are prerequisites to being a fan of Rugby League  |

The poor chap from Salford pointed out that I wasn't a RL fan because of my misery and downer on the sport.......I simply implied that my misery and downer made me the normal RL fan.
London Broncos are still the first result I look for on a Monday morning here, but I'm usually already depressed by the previous days shenanigans from the Auckland Warriors, who currently have the consistency of water......  |

We all have our crosses to bear. I thought the Warriors were being bought out?

The double header would be an even better event with another English based side their IMO. Would create some atmosphere it does seem like Warrington will be the best supported there. Leeds haven't sold as many as previous semis have they?

Catalans will be the best supported there as they’ll have three sets of fans! |

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.
