Quote: Ste100Centurions "About 4 I think.

Aren't you glad that Leigh Centurions & the LSV not only raises the standard of playing surfaces but sets the standard to which all of RL should aspire to ?
The LSV pitch is without any doubt the finest playing surface in all of the RFL period.

Of course you may prefer the plastic pitches provided by London, Widnes & Toronto ?
See the photographs of our lovely new pitch ....

#SuperGrass'"


Ste the LSV pitch is partially plastic, its not relaid, its re-seeded artificial fibres intertwined with the natural grass. Very costly and probably covered by Man Utd cost wise.

In answer to your question, Leigh always have five aways on the bounce. Fortunatley thats five weeks to sort the pitch out,not 5 months. icon_wink.gif

They only alternated due to CC commitments and 14ft of snow. They played in batches, didn't they?

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: ColD "Christ, they've let another one on My thoughts exactly.......it seems that provocative and argumentative trolls are de rigueur on RLFANS.COM nowadays. icon_rolleyes.gif

This one will rant about how well Toronto are run when in reality they are hemorrhaging cash at an alarming rate as well as leaving unpaid bills to suppliers.
By this idiots yardstick, London Broncos are a well run club because David Hughes throws £2,000,000 a year down the crapper d040.gif

2 Week break to first home .

8 Day break to next home.
2 Week break to next home.

7 Day break to next away.
6 Day break to next batch of 4 homes.
2 Week break for batch of 3 aways in the 8’s

Yes. We had a lot more transatlantic trips than clubs back there.

In a competition that you chose to join, which has been a mockery this year with transatlantic flights and jet lag only being an issue for the opposition. Granted TWP would have won the league regardless, but it still doesn't make it right.

2017: By my reckoning, TWP had eight transatlantic flights including one at the end of the season back to the UK. All League 1 clubs had two (out & back x 1). Whose advantage?

2018: A new pitch was being laid at Lamport Stadium, owned by the city, the work was completed in late May. Wolfpack came out for the Swinton game early May, then back to UK, then back for June 9. That's four regular season flights when you add a return to the UK in August. Also by my reckoning, very likely four more flights going home & away for the Qualifiers and then returning to the UK. Wolfpack eight trips, Leigh 2 or 4 trips, all other Championship and SL qualifiers two trips.

Bring on the Qualifiers.

Argyle will have to buy Air Transat if TWP are accepted in SL. Scheduled flights won't be acceptable to SL fixtures.

If Wolfpack make Super League, teams can choose from a dizzying array of carriers including but not limited to Air Transat, Air Canada, British Airways, Icelandic, Aer Lingus, Virgin, or any other airline that they find acceptable. They'll be paying their own way.

Quote: pandamonium "2017 season, Wolfpack played

I don't really care. If Toronto want to play in a predominently UK based league they should fit in with the standard fixture list. I don't really care where they're from, Toronto, Catalans or Featherstone. They're all just RL teams that should be given the same chance as anyone else and not get specialist fixture treatment. Its not our fault they're based in a different continent. I am neither for or against them. They are just another team.

One thing is certain though - the deafening silence from the RFL over Canadian entry VISA issues is going to explode in the governing body's face especially if they get home advantage if they end up in the MPG. If they get into SL, I wonder how certain Catalans fans will like if when Greg Bird is denied entry?
