Super League doesn't need a poorly supported team either home or away and one which has had several supposed homes over the last 10 years and NONE have worked.
I'll deal with you bit by bit if that's OK.
First up, if an away team brings 1,500 fans to your ground and these fans spend 20 quid on a ticket and 20 quid on beer/pies/in the shop, then that's 60k your club gets over the counter that day.
Widnes Vikings turned over close to 4.8 million quid in 2012....so that's 0.0125% of your turn over we cost you. Rather than whine like a bitch, why not try and attract 125 more HOME fans to your games and grow your fan base, which has had close to a 100 year head start on London.
As for out home fans, or severe lack of them, this plays no role in Widnes Vikings ability to increase their own revenues and therefore is none of your business.

What it fact needs is a club like London/Harlequins/Broncos??? to start at the bottom and really work at the roots of the sport and not fast track with no substance and a serious disregard of rules, i.e. foreign players, wages to income, etc..
Foreign players dispensation ran out probably before you were born whilst income we have covered (we are debt free) and we have never broken the salary cap, so I fail to see your relevance in mentioning wages?

This off season London and Bradford have been a blot to our fantastic game, with their off field antics.
Where you not born in 2007 or did you forget about going into administration.....something only Bradford have done this off season. We are still debt free!

As for Widnes, growing crowds
2013 was 1% down on 2012 and 15% down on 2011. Get your carer to explain "growing" to you.

Did your carer tell you about that, because there's no way you were alive when that happened!
