New York in line for rugby league team
Ambitious plans have been unveiled for a New York rugby league team to follow Toronto into the English game.
A business plan has been submitted to the Rugby Football League and organisers, who say they have the backing of wealthy benefactors and hope to get the go-ahead in time to enter the competition in 2019.
Co-founder Tom Scott told a media briefing in Leeds that, like Toronto, the New York club would not seek any central funding and have already secured $US10 million ($A12.64m) in investment.
Organisers say playing in the summer would avoid a direct clash with the NFL and they are confident of building a fan base of 10,000 in the first year, doubling the figure within three years to bring it on a par with the New York Red Bulls soccer team.
The team would be based at a training complex in Warwick, an hour's drive from New York City, and play at the 25,000-seat Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, a 20-minute train ride from the World Trade Centre.

Re: NEW YORK >> NEW YORK >>
Increadible news, so now we have Toronto Wolfpack, a new team in it's way in New York.
And a second Canadian Rugby League team in the pipeline too according to Eric Perez.
AFL meanwhile keeps embassing itself with overseas exhibition matches that only a few expats turn up to.

Re: NEW YORK >> NEW YORK >>
if they do what toronto has done they will do well. Not sure playing in a 25k stadium is a good idea though if they are targeting only 10k per game. Should do what toronto have done and starts small then work their way up

Re: NEW YORK >> NEW YORK >>
It has a long way to go. But I really like Eric Perez vision.
He has the long term goal of starting up a professional league with North American teams beig part of the superleague consortium.
Funny how all the AFL fans have been dead quiet about this. As both Union & League keep becoming more international.
