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:

Come on Bazza.....you asked for a source not once but twice but have nothing to say when it's delivered?

Perez was given shares by Argyle and his partners and is wisely hanging on to them, but is apparently working on a side in Hamilton....he left before Christmas but as yet there's not one press release, media blurb, interview or hot dog canon from him....very un-perez like would you not say? Surely the best way to test the water would have been a couple of wolfpack games in Hamilton whilst Lamport was fixed.....but nope....and a skeptic or suspicious person would maybe look at the huge savings for both the sponsor and the owner on playing the games in 2 blocks.......not to mention playing Toulouse in the UK and not having to fly them to Canada........are you a skeptic Bazza?

Perez could just set up his own league at this rate.

I believe in Eric Perez who has delivered on all his promises so far.

Any further statements will come from my lawyers.

Really? He collected a bundle of players too good for C1 and won C1 and ran a dozen summer beer festivals with some rugby on the side and blatantly lied about the attendance at these events........his promises included a TV deal of substance and a side inside SL within 5 years.....that fact that he's left 20% into the job is a worry.......as is the departure of his TV Friendly front-man Fogarty......a fair amount of razzamataz has left the Wolfpack.....What happens if he gets Hamilton off the ground....does he leave them after 12 months and move n to Boston again leaving the job unfinished?

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

I’m still waiting for gutterfax to supply evidence of his libellous statement that creditors (not debtors gutterfax) we’re still awaiting payment.

Really? Given your recent penchant for demanding links and proof, would you care to furnish us with a link to the article where Perez says he's only in it for the first year, because all the press releases and multiple "look at my my name is eric" type interviews ALL have him saying that 'we have a 5 year plan"......at no stage does he then add, "but I'm on my toes when it gets to the hard part of backing up the freebies with sales in year 2"

Sorry Bazza, where did I or anyone else make this statement? I forget that English isn't your mother tongue, but surely I don't have to explain this to you, do I?

At the same time there were also rumours (unsubstantiated) of multiple debtors awaiting payment and various tales of players being "out of control" when let loose in Toronto.


Barry, Lebron, Jean.....can you not just simply post as the one persona. I don't mind talking to your different egos, but it gets unnerving when you start talking to yourself on here
