I suppose it's all a bit hard to grasp looking out from the dusty old windows of a dilapidated house or flat on Sefton Street, Leigh.


At least I don't live in Chorley...my 'fake french friend'. :D

[quote="Budgiezilla"]

So you think that any North American club, possibly any French club should do one and set up their own league with players from their own nation and keep thew hell out of "our" comp ?

On this basis RL would never be played in countries outside The UK, France, Australia and New Zealand.

Is that about right ?

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

No they won’t. They already make more money and have more fans that Huddersfield so they will be fine

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:
