| Seen people on social media suggesting the club should play “one-off” games across various football grounds in London but not only is it throwing money down the drain, it’s pointless. The club’s priority should be Ealing, embedding roots further into the area and attracting bigger crowds.
The club needs to offer something different than other sporting options in London. Maybe “the cheapest elite level season ticket in London”? It’s not hard to be cheaper than Football and I have no idea how much RU costs (and wouldn’t want to find out). That would need to be marketed though and Rugby League doesn’t do that well.
The club could do well to replicate something similar to what Toronto have. It needs to be an experience and a day out rather than just a game of Rugby. Craft beer is booming and it would be relatively cheap to knock up a few tents and offer beers, gins etc and street food tents. There’s surely enough bands in London waiting for a break and you could hold a mini-festival in the summer months or have bands at games most weeks. There’s got to be things for all the family to do, get bouncy castles and face painting for the kids.
This is a massive opportunity for the club.

Spending between CA$10,000 and CA$20,000 per game advertising on Metro routes, on local radio and trough a network of PR companies shows how committed The Toronto Wolfpack and David Argyle are to the long term success of the club. Surely you can applaud them for this, you have only spent what seems like a lifetime criticising London and other RL clubs and events for their lack of marketing.
Sometimes events get cancelled, it happens. The Wolfpack are here to stay, take a look at the 6 new signings they’ve just made. They will be in Super League 2020.

Is English not your mother tongue? I just complimented them......I said the beer garden was great, the blanket free ticketing was good but non-sustainable and that they have done OK so far

| Any Super League club needs 8000 to 10000 fans on a weekly basis to be sustainable (paying full price not £99 a season / £7 a game). Many Super League clubs (Huddersfield, Salford,Wakefield and London) don’t get this and are not sustainable having to rely on individuals to put their hands in their pocket to make up the difference.
Toronto are no different currently relying on David Argyle, however IMO they are the club with the most potential to become sustainable.

| As far as TWP go. It will be interesting to see how they fare next season. Having tasted defeat against Fev and then a couple of times in the Qualifiers and the major disappointment of losing the MPG. Will they retain the fans? I do not know.
What is for sure it will be a long time before they see rugby again, so wounds may heal. Or fans may move on to another sport that has some success, all be it against weak opposition.

| What's full price? You can only sell a product at a price it's worth.over price it and no one buys it
99£ at London is the cheapest ticket and only available to last year's loyal fans,
Not sure why TWP are more sustainable, fine they get 7k plus through the gate but we all know a lot of those are give away tickets. Will those 7k still turn up when it's 50can d to get in?
