There are no players on the pitch, the game isn’t been played at the time of the photo. Most Canadian sports fans arrive at the game after kick off.

When I watched Toronto Wolfpack on Premier Sports, the 9,600 capacity Lamport Stadium has always looked busy. Not that attendance figures can get you promoted or relegated anyway.

Not at present, but things will change again to accommodate.

I hope Toronto succeed but having watched all their games I'd be surprised if they had a gate over 3000 whatever crowd size they announce ,you sound like you work for there marketing department

The point being made was that actual bodies in the stadium don't appear to be anywhere near the declared attendance. It's normal to include ST holder in attendances, so TW are doing nothing wrong, but it does give a distorted view of how many folk in Toronto actually want to turn up and watch RL.

How you twist that point into anyone wanting TW kicked out of the competition is beyond me. I acknowledged they have decent crowds, but just questioned the actual numbers.

Re: Are Leigh destined for League 1? : Sat Mar 10, 2018 1:15 pm  

I wonder how this lengthy run of away fixtures will affect their crowds when/if(!) they return to the Lamport Stadium? The paying public may be gagging to see more RL, or they may have forgotten completely about it come June/July.

Methinks it may well take a huge marketing drive to get fans back into the habit, despite the promise of seeing some new, exotic visitors.

With 3000 fans they still have more than than the SL wasters like Wakefield, hudds and Salford so what’s the problem?

It's about as true as people from Halifax and Leigh deciding that Toronto are lying about their crowds but hey
