The official attendance v Leeds was given in League Express as 1,793, but that Guardian article says 2,500........the Guardian article is wrong on 2 counts, as if there were plans to build a stand this winter, then the council application would need to be in already and the gate figure,,,,,unless of course it's a temporary stand, which seems strange given their biggest gate will be in 2 weeks time when they host the exiles.....
JESUS WEPT 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.

no.....you clearly stated it is not a temporary stand, but when faced with evidence to the contrary, you refuse to admit that you and the Guardian are mistaken....

I have total clarity here....no planning applied for, therefore t's either not happening this winter or it's a temporary stand.

Define difference between New stand and temporary stand. All I did was quote the press article. The press article also said they are! Not they are planning. What inference anyone takes from that is there choice. To me that suggests that Trailfinders have a solid plan to build a new structure as a stand at the Vallis road end, if that’s permenant or temporary don’t know and don’t care, but a temporary stand by default is New as there is nothing there at the moment. It’s quite interesting so far press wise the express, times, guardian are obviously in dogs view all reporting false news, yet league express must be right. Gate figure btw pre game ticket sales which includes season ticket was iro 1900 so I suspect the actual gate was closer to 2500 than the 1700 ish

....and then the total lack of any planning permission requested for Trailfinders other than a creche near the main stand???/
