The revenue from the CC Final is of no concern to HKR, or any other of the top 2 tier sides, who are to a man jack funded by SKY, their own fans and sponsors and their owners.....tickets start at £20 a pop....if a Neutral RL fan can't be bothered to visit the capital for one of the 2 showpiece games in the club game, then so be it, but te empty seats won't be the fault of Catalans.....just lazy RL fans and the RFL....

This isn't a HKR board why are you bringing up Rovers? I'm more then aware the empty seats won't be Les Dracs fault

Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

£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:

Also, on the purpose of this thread. Who exactly is it a disaster for?


Those 'hard working' Labour voting socialist bitter types who despair at the thought of 'their' sport attracting new demographics and markets. "Rugby league should only be for us inbred ex-pit villagers stuck in 1964" types. :lol:

That's a terrible assault on the virtues of Warrington Wolves and the RFL there. We can vouch for the 200 Catalans supporters scattered about but really, where are the 70,000 plus 'RL fans'? :shock: :lol:

How long have we been bleating on about expansion. If this is the great saviou of RL the this game should be embrassed and promoted by all. How would we feel about a Catalan v Toronto final in a few years. If we are not happy then perhaps we need to rethink the expansion argument!
