That game in Brighton was played at the end of September; not exactly high summer!
When I started watching the game live in 1990 I attended massive events at Wembley for the Ashes in 1990, World Cup Final of 1992, Ashes 1994, then first game and Final of the 1995 World Cup. I come from that well known Rugby League heartland of Northampton - I was a “thick and thin” Cobblers fan - and after watching that Ashes Test in 1990 I’ve never watched a soccer game since!
The Super League war knocked the international game for six - we got in a mindless of not playing even the Aussies in a stadium with more than 25k capacity and 10km from the M62 in case there was an empty seat.
Dog is right - if we’re saying the 2021 World Cup will top 31k per game we need Samoa v USA or equivalent to push WELL in to double figures. If we as a game are not up to delivering this, why state it as a target?

19th September to be exact and it was circa 17-19C. There's a big difference playing at 2:30 on a mid to late September/early October on a Saturday/Sunday in Brighton or MK to a freezing cold night in mid to late November at xx venue that even if Wembley or OS makes a huge difference in attraction to casual or new to rugby fans and their liklihood in wanting to attend.

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:

With what RU have, it's far easier to sell a game like Samoa/Usa as people all ready now about teams.

I doubt more than a handful of the crowd that day could name a player on either side......

...which is what we are discussing...selling the RLWC 2021!

Harlequins RU defeated Gloucester on December 27th 2016 in front of 77,000 fans.....Harlequins RU had a 5k average gate when the London Broncos started lodging with them and now have a 14,500 stadium which they fill regularly, whilst Gloucester average 2,500 below their own capacity.........so after the 27,000 "regulars' why and where do the other 50,000 come from......and why when it's about 2 degrees with a 80% chance of rain?

My daughter, who regularly attends London Broncos games has been to the last 5 of these boxing day games....her employer buys a ticket for all his staff...I think he pays about 8 quid a pop.....perception is everything and if we have to fill stadiums with wholesale ticket pricing then so be it......
