Maybe a new package deal, a raft or dingy & a couple of oars with an all odd cons mud hut for accommodation on arrival, must travel on a Thursday though & row back to Scotland day after match !

The reality is that whether Toronto are good for the game or not, they are at least giving it a go and apparently doing it with a smile on their faces......meanwhile we are inundated with threads bemoaning expansion, generally started by fans of tin pot pit village clubs, teetering on the financial brink and watched by an ageing and shrinking fan base.'"
Shall we replace Woeful Wakefield *sarcasm Trin fans* with say your preferred London village maybe ?
That will be the perennial revolving corner shop of changing name & venue Fulham, Harlequins, Broncos & all other names used replete with your nomadic hoardes numbering around 400 !
Funny how you rarely mention London Nomads/Fulham/Quins isn't it, or maybe not as it doesn't fit your heartlands bashing agenda.

Leigh look like they have gone boom or bust, wakefield are living hand to moth, Salford and Widnes are on the brink and I'm the bad guy?
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.

What you saw is a made-up story in the Hull Daily Mail, which is currently having its bash-Toronto week. The story provides no actual quotes, but substitutes with: "Sources have told the paper .. " and then claims Wolfpack wanted three away and four home in a block, based on something nobody said ever. Wolfpack had asked for AAHHAHH. I can't see any three or four game blocks there, can you?
This ranks right up there with "Sources say that Dad will double my pocket money."

Not funny at all. London getting promoted to SL would be a disaster for them and for SL....... I accept that without David Hughes and the 1.8 million from sky the club would have folded years ago...... Unlike some fans of pit Village teams who resemble torch waving hordes chasing frankenstiens monster when it comes to expansion

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.
Sharing First World problems so you can get it right first time.

Whatever you do Call Me God, please don't tarnish us all with the same brush or use such a generalisation. More than 45% (maybe 48%) of us Northerners who did vote did vote to remain. I'm also sure that most of the people who voted leave were far more intelligent to be drawn in by a very misleading slogan on a red bus by a group of people who are not leaders of the Brexit negotiations.
Anyway, let's not bring politics into it, it often goes quickly downhill on RL Fans. Let's stick with RL, so you don't like Toronto....

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?

So, it's ok for you to criticise Toronto or, question their validity but, not for others, slightly arrogant
I'm guessing that your "tad farther south" means not in the UK, which should preclude you from the discussion
Well done on the bike ride though, great effort

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.
