£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:

They are crap...have been all year and they'll be mullered in SL unless they buy a new squad and a new coach

London have been the best team so far but I’m still confident Toronto will come good.

What does your mate Lebron think? Toronto by 32?

How do you know the crowd is 6k?
There doesn’t look 4000+ empty seats.

You’d have to ask Lebron what he thinks, not me.

Isn’t the MPG a split gate? If so we may have some feedback from Broncos on number of paying customers.

Don't buy the line that all the tickets were giveaways, much as some would have you believe.

And although some of the tickets were giveaways, the attendance was still four times what Broncos would have managed if the MPG had been played in London.

No harm done.

And congratulations to the Broncos. Visited Lamport three times this season, didn't whinge once. A class club with classy players. They won on the day.

Given other threads about the RFL operational rules and the MPG etc., how was it that TWP could give tickets away for this one, given that the RFL should have been setting the attendance prices for the game. I'm sure there's a good and valid reason, but I'm intrigued what it is?

Btw, given the announced attendance and the ground capacity, there would have been around 4% of seats not occupied (ie. hard to see an empty seat). It was a very good crowd, but certainly not at 96% capacity.

Also, given the enormity of the game, and so many fans in the ground, why would the PA announcer feel the need to start off any "Wolfpack" chants? Most grounds would be pandemonium (sic) with that many folk in attendance with such an important game underway.

See you next year.

250 tickets offered to my mate at PJ's...he reckons he has 150+ left.....literally couldn't give them away. I have no issue with freebies BTW.......what ever fills the ground, but not a chance in hell there were 9k there yesterday

I said Argyle would make them declare 9K+......the far stand was less than 50% full....6k at most in there.....and now he's got 13 teams to pay for next year :lol: :lol: :lol:

The attendance was over 9000, you can keep repeating your 6000 figure all you want, it doesn’t make it true.
