It has been announced that Bartercard will remain as headline sponsors, they have signed up until 2020. Good news I suppose, as to what it is worth we will never know.
JESUS WEPT 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.

Bartercard credits was the deal lat time around, with the club being able to spend these with other bartercard members....I think the club have said in the past that we've done about a half a million in bartercard business over the last 10 years.
