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:

All we have to go on is a few flat cappers, who are desperate for Toronto to fail, claiming this.

Even if this were true (which i don’t believe it is) 3500 is still a good Championship attendance and similar to what Salford get.


Salford get 3500 attendances?

Are you jealous or just worried that Leigh may not escape the Championship ?

I think RoyBoy may have been alluding to Salford's home attendances this season:-

Wigan 5,568
HKR 2,948
Hull 2,902
Catalans 2,328
Warrington 3,428
Wakefield 2,686
Saints 3,105

The average for the first seven home games was 3,281, with only the Wigan gate exceeding 3,500.

Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.

Here you go, something for your obsession with Leigh fans, to fantasise over tonight.
Don't get too carried away now.

Is that Leigh and their 800 home fans?

I don’t see how Salford can maintain a Super League side with those figures and without Marwan throwing away a few million a year, it’s only a matter of time until they either get relegated or go bust.

2917 for Toronto Wolfpack yesterday, despite playing 25 miles from their normal home ground.

A bit down on last season's 'crowds' then?
