In Liverpool Koukash would face the same issues which have faced all the incarnations of the Broncos in London: British outsiders' negative stereotype view  of the sport.  Absent a way to overcome that stereotype there's no more a route to success in Liverpool than in London.

Except in Liverpool no rugby union rivals like London and much closer to the heartlands 

How many football fans might be persuaded to follow our summer sport in their off season? With the right marketing could be a goer

Liverpool City were in the league when I first started to follow the sport.  They played at Knotty Ash, they (along with Doncaster) were perpetually bottom of the league.  The metamorphosed into Huyton, playing at Alt Park, and again, regularly finishing bottom of the league.  Their support was paltry.  There seems very little interest in RL in Liverpool.  Who knows why, St Helens and Widnes are just down the road, but there it is. 

A bit like Sheffield really.  Or Barnsley, or Blackburn.  Areas adjacent to RL but seemingly only marginally interested  in it.   It's a paradox.  IMO you'd need  throw big money at it and have a lot of patience to launch and continue a RL side in Liverpool.

And if they do get their own ground, as was initially mentioned, that is immediately a game changer compared to London.

What makes you think that Liverpudlians rate the "northern village" teams (as another poster recently described them on one of these threads) as worth their time and money any more than Londoners do?  Does any evidence exist that they do?
