£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. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg
Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "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.'"
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
Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "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.
Wow....rich bloke buys players to try and get out of the 2nd tier after expected promotion procession falls at the final hurdle....ad you and your two buddies said they'd be i already....ask lLebron, was it Toronto by 32
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?
