I’m interested in why you think TWP fans won’t know who SBW is?

They’ve being around for four years now as a club and each year the fan base increases
I believe the fans of that club should be given more credit than you are giving them.

Just because the club isn’t over 100 years old doesn’t mean the fans aren’t knowledgeable about the sport
Also remember in Canada it’s just rugby, they don’t differentiate between league and union so there is a very strong chance the fans over there we’re watching the ru wc


Lighten up a bit! I appreciate TWP have a good fan base but not all of them have knowledge in depth of the players, who they are, and how long they have been around.
SBW will mean nothing to a lot of them BUT mention him to 95% of fans in SL and they would know him - I wasn't being disrespectful to them, I wouldn't expect them to have knowledge of players going back years!

[quote="bellycouldtackle"]TWP home crowd puts many a 100 + year old traditional heartland club to shame. This is going to be great for SL[/quote

Toronto SLFC are still a bit of a novelty, Belly, and remember the city has a population of nearly 3,000,000. A !0,000 gate represents just 1/300th of the potential. Trinity's crowd of average 5,000 represents about 1/20th.

We’d get 10,000 if we let everyone in for free.

I’ve no issue with Toronto as a team but let’s not pretend that it anything other than a millionaires whim and without it they would immediately disappear. Not even Hudds are that vulnerable.

As ever people are seeing what they want to without touching down with reality at any point. Tragedy will only ensue.

Think that goes for a lot of union clubs as well as they wouldn’t be where they are today without their millionaire benefactors getting involved .Good on em I say and can’t fault them for having a go .

Agreed cosmicat, Trinity attendances are pathetic. The citizens of Wakefield have always been apathetic to spectator sport, but attendances of 10,000 in a city of 3,000,000 isn't all that good is it?

Re: Sonny bill : Wed Nov 06, 2019 9:29 pm  
With the squad being put together with the financial constraints Trinity have compared to Toronto I think Trinity are more likely to be successful on the pitch which will lead to improved attendances.

Family ticket deals would lead to increased attendances as well as the purchase of drinks, food, programmes and club merchandise which would increase club revenue....


Trinity are affected by a small claims court civil claim whilst Toronto allegedly pay £2 million plus per year to one ageing RU player....Trinity don't appear to have the finances to even pay up to the salary cap limit for the entire squad which would be the equivalent of SBW pay. It could be a very expensive mistake were he to pick up a serious injury at the start of the season....

Didn’t mean to come across as harsh if that’s how you took it

I just don’t buy that only 5% of the regular 9k fans will know who SBW is after following them for 4 years
