Quote: Call Me God "

I don't trust Toronto, but the arguments being used to "dis' them just hold no water, but what fans of clubs lie wakey will never admit is that without their annual £1,800,000 hand out, they'd be dead an buried and that's why they are scared of Toronto, not because they'd miss out on £10 of away fan ticket revenue'"


So ,it's ok for you to say "I dont trust Toronto" because your an all knowing former Union fan but, those who support smaller clubs cant have an opinion ??

One thing that folk who live in former pit villages do is to tell it as it is and not just fall in line because some arrogant t**t tells them to.

Having been to Toronto before (although not for RL), I'm looking forward to going back there but, I still dont believe they fit into "our" league and as for being dead and buried without Sky's hand out, so would the vast majority of SL clubs and premier league football clubs so this is just a nonsense statement.

You could enlighten us as to why you dont trust Toronto though, it may be interesting ??

Having said that, your opinion as a supporter of a Championship Club, counts even less than that of a resident of a former pit villiage (technically Wakefield is a city) but, we'll forgive you that as you probably dont make it too far past Watford.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: 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. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg



Quote: vastman "Do you have a care? I’d cycle through Headingley to fund one for you if that would help.

You are a perfect example of why Brexit won and why exspansion in the South is both unwanted and unworkable - why would any sport want ignorant fools like you joining it’s ranks?'"


Is English not your first language lad? The sentences above make no sense at all?

Do I have a care? Well, thanks for asking but, nope, not a care in the world at the moment as I pack for my flight back to blighty, so no need to pump your tyres and get out those cycle clips just yet. By the way, I cycled to Headingley from London......not just through Headingley.

As for me being the perfect example of why Brexit won, I am at a loss dear boy? I do not have a racist bone in my body and fully support the free movement of both citizens and trade through Europe, so how you make that assumption is a mystery. But, then again, given your "frothing at the mouth reactions to any support of a non heartland club", maybe not.
As for......EXPANSION (slow down when ranting and turn on spell-checker), I believe that if RL is going to flourish, it needs to expand and if we keep donating £1,800,000 a year to clubs like yours just so 4,000 unwashed in-bred's can rock up once a fortnight, with no plans for growth, only survival, then the game will cease to exist as a viable professional sport in England.

How to make friends and influence people? You really need to think more about your tone and approach to making your point. You say you are not racist but on a previous post you've slated northerners with generalisations and false stereotypes. Now you are calling the people of Wakefield "unwashed in-breds". Just as well that I am not a moderator because you would be on a week's ban now.
