Quote: MonkeyLover "whatever his name is post page after page of nasty comments about the owner of a club he claims to support. I say claims to support because when offered the chance to showcase his 'talents' to the club he demanded hospitality for his family to attend a game.'"
2 Things.
1. The offer was a bogus one as you admitted yourself soon after I "accepted" it, but you're now choosing to use it as a stick with which to attack me anyway? My offers previously have been ignored, even whe I was in a position to act free of charge, so why would the club not accept then when they had no marketing department?
2. This is an internet forum regarding the London Broncos. I will post my opinion on here, as will the other posters, none of whom claim to be mates, buddies or fellow masons with the owner. My thoughts regarding Hughes are backed up by the man himself (read a pastel revolution) and they will remain steadfast until he realises (never gonna happen BTW), that the club needs to both market itself and attract other investors, but Mr Hughes doesn't play well with others, so 1,983 as an average is seen by some on here as "good enough"....when he took over that figure was 3,428 and our biggest gate was down to his ex-business partner busing Wigan fans down resulting in over 8,000 fans attending...this year, 2,586 bothered for Wigan......so yes, I will state my opinion based on factual data and not imaginary friends.
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.
