Have the WP had a sold out stadium yet?
Hopefully there is a promotion blitz and the can set some records.

Salford are useles they should be relegated. How did they get up to number 1. Tethering continually on the edge of collapse. They’re should be criteria to relegate and promote. Toronto, London and Toulouse add commercially.

Did SL lose much commercially when London were relegated?

Longer term it will make a difference. We need s wealthy person in London to bankroll them.

I don’t like Salford and would have loved them to have dropped but London don’t seem like a much better prospect in their current guise.

Although I agree with you on Salford being useless and offering super league nothing in terms of crowds and junior development they got to #1 by either winning more games than any other team or having a better points difference than the other teams and this is the best criteria and should be the only criteria to relegate and promote teams.

Depressingly London have less fans than Salford but have a far better record of producing and developing young players through their academy.

That’s a given but priority #1 is and always will be stability in terms of a home ground. London need their own stadium or need to be co-tenants with a football(soccer) team signing a long term lease of say 25,50 or even 100 years.

I honestly don’t know the answer to that and I’d probably guess no but the optics aren’t good.

Wolfpack have announced any season ticket holder can get a free ticket to the million pound game.
That is a nice touch, no matter what the doubters say.

You’d think offers like this and the fact that a place in super league is on offer and potentially only 80 minuets away would see a full house. Any money not made from not charging season ticket holders could be partly made up in the bear tents and selling merchandise. Not mention all the publicity and media attention that would be created in Canada if the Wolfpack was to reach super league.

It’s Canadian thanksgiving weekend, it would be interesting to know if Canadians make a habit of attending sport events of that weekend or not

Reading the TRL forum apparently not. By the sound of it the country goes into shutdown.

 

[Perth Red]

Come on Toronto. Want them to win just to hear the year long whinging of the m62 flat cap brigade about how they dont bring any fans and how the rfl is neglecting clubs like batley in favour of them lol

 

[CC_Roosters]

Whoever doesn't make it must start next season favourite to finish top. Widnes and Leigh don't look in great shape currently unless they get a drastic overhaul to challenge

 

[Tigers1986]

Certainly makes the Championship more intriguing. You'd think with promotion so readily available that Toulouse would be strong contenders again. Makes you wonder why they didn't increase the Super League to 14 teams with possible expansion.

Leig

Leigh will be lucky not to go down next year.

London leading by 2

This is either going to be a tight game or a late surge blowout for the Wolfpack.
