JESUS WEPT :WALL: 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. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

Wire ran a discounted scheme for tonights game, where Kids got in on the cheap with adults accompanying them for a fiver.....this is good work by the wire marketing team as it ensured that on a Friday Night when London would maybe bring 50 or so fans, the HJ wasn't half empty.
EDIT: 11,718. in attendance tonight....bigger crowd than you got for HKR or Castleford.......Well done the Wire marketing team! k020.gif

Sheltered life then?
Drug dealers and bankers are two examples of where the "supplier" delivers an initial cheap option, sometimes sweetened with a "bonus", on the basis that repetition will occur and loyalty ensue........and in the main it does.

The reference to Drug Dealers and Bankers wasn't random.......both are industries that work in a supply and demand arena and both generally create the demand to enhance their need to supply.......
......if you don't get it fine, but believe me, it's a valid argument!

Good job you are not a politician dog, using drug dealers tactics as an example of good sales policy is not best example to use.
If it was a valid argument as you say, we would still have 5000 through the gate, as addictions are not easy to quit.

Northernbloke. Some of us stuck with the Broncos through the lean years, purely because attending games was our addiction. If not we would have given up. As many did. Thus the crowds would have deteriorated even more.

It seems that the U19s gave Warrington U19s a run for their money today. Losing 32-22 but putting on a really good show. Josh Hodson was LBSA Man of the Match. Well done all involved.

As I have said before, if I told you the sky was blue you'd wait until midnight to try and prove me wrong.
Drug dealers, like banks are adept at business.......not a nice business, but hey ho, they seem to make ends meet. Getting people "hooked" was the analogy I was using, but as usual, you've totally missed the point just to stand on the other side......I still bank with the same bank that my godfather opened an account for me in 1965..........gettem while their young and get em hooked.....

as for the missing 4k......ask you buddy David why they don't come back any more......he's the messiah after all a014.gif

Just watching the highlights! Realise it does not show the whole picture, but Dixon looks to have been well outclassed.
The more worrying was dragon! What’s going on with him? He used to be very strong in the tackle, last few games he seems to drop off the tackler, there is a hesitation in his game as well! Is there an injury hampering him?

NB this is a step up in level. Both our wingers have been cast aside by other SL clubs as maybe not being of that level.

We don't have any players that would walk into other SL teams first 13. Our approach is togetherness, fitness, teamwork. Leicester didn't have the best players when they won the football league.

The season is about preventing relegation by navigating the season to win certain fixtures and throwing others. (fri being one)

WQ not sure what your point is! I merely commented on the performance.
Dragon is making odd decisions, that’s unusual for him, nothing to do with what level he is playing at.
And totally disagree with your last statement. I don’t believe Danny ward goes into any game with the intention of losing it.
This season is about navigating the season to win as many games as possible just like every season

And probably will go when we go down, along with a few others. We could always try and strengthen our squad to prevent that though!!!!

We all know we need to strengthen the squad and need big mongrels to break the line. But the question is where do we get the money to do that we cant keep expecting one man to spend anymore than he is already.

Indeed.....if only we hadn't alienated the 3,500 or so missing regulars from a few years back. That £70,000 on the gate for each home game would come in handy.
