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:

Not a fan.

Seems like a massive "inside joke" that your not allowed to know the punch line to as your not a member of the fraternity of muscle tops, beards, poop tats and cheeky nandos.

Indeed - it's incessantly and unfunnily laddish, with a distinct whiff of being hilarious to the people involved, but just cringe-makingly embarrassing for everyone else.

Ask a non RL fan what they think of RL, and they'll probably describe an episode of this turd of a programme; it does more harm than good in my opinion.

Can Wayne Godwin talk without shouting? It doesn't seem so.

Does he still stand slightly to one side holding the micriphone in a way that flexes his biceps even when he's not talking?

I remember hearing that Simmons guy on the mic, blaring loud outside Olympic Park when we played Australia. I would imagine first-time southern spectators have not touched RL since. Horrible voice and personality the game could really do without.

Lock the show up in an impenetrable vault, maybe with Simmons too, and bury it deep within the earth's crust.
