Quote Sir Kevin Sinfield="Sir Kevin Sinfield"The only club that has achieved a match day atmosphere similar to the is the Toronto Wolfpack. They attract [size=200massive crowds [/sizewho are all relatively new to Rugby League. If they can do it there’s no reason you can’t too. The only issue is perhaps your “ground” or lack of it could put people off attending.'"
Toronto distribute thousands of free tickets through a network of brewers and bars and then spend between CA$10,000 and CA$20,000 per game advertising on Metro routes, on local radio and trough a network of PR companies.
The declared attendances at the Mancpac games is for the total number of tickets distributed and includes fewer than 500 Season Tickets and less than 1,000 people in total who pay to attend. The Beer Garden is the most popular feature at games and is without doubt a brilliant piece of marketing, but the harsh reality of games in March will soon see if the promise of a few cheep beers will attract 7k to Lamport in 3 degrees....Summer in Toronto on a wooden bench is one think, freezing your tits off is a whole different game....
...the GM of operations at Toronto recently admitted that they rely on freebies to get people to games and that they are nowhere near being self sufficient and would require 1,000 visiting fans per game to deliver any ROI to their sponsors.....well done Argyle, but as David Hughes can testify after 10 years of Solo ownership of the Broncos.....£20,000,000 doesn't even touch the sides and that's for a side that was relegated and is championship standard at present....
......London Broncos averaged pretty respectable attendances in the first couple of years....I think 5,400 when the rest of the comp averaged 6,500....so not bad......let's see how the turd polishing goes in 2019.....
