Quote: GeoffRoebuck "What if some of the players are colour blind?'"


You may be new to the game but, the players will be ok with the "rainbow" pitch markings.
RL officials, on the other hand..........................

The muliti use pitch markings are awful for tv viewers and spectators, especially as most of the home crowd are new to the game.
There must be some kind of temporary green "paint" that they could use to neurtalise the markings that aren't in use, much as the do over here for football and rugby ?

The topic is Lamport Stadum is/isn’t good enough for Super League, but it is better than current Super League grounds and other Championship grounds.

Your comment is now accurate after giving you leeway on the spelling.

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

Ah. So if "the subject" isn't to your liking, rather than ignoring "the subject", you attempt to derail the thread by winding up fans of other clubs......if only there were a name for such activities and the people that partake in them a046.gif

How many years was it before all the flat cappers stopped moaning about Catalans being in SL on the grounds of not enough away fans / no local players / can't get a decent pie / funny accents / too far from Pontefract / it's a local sport for local people ?

Asking for a friend (who will come back to RLFans when that period is up....)

Hi all! Ive been away for a while, whats changed round here?? I saw someone on totalrl forum referred to as Bumpy so figured quite a bit of the trolling on here will have died down. Is the fake frenchman still about?? Been on the BBC comments a bit and noticed a fake Irishman trolling on there. Just waiting for a fake Canadian to appear on totalrl and then we are sorted! icon_smile.gif icon_smile.gif

Anyway, Lamport, I agree with others, the pitch markings are not good. It makes the place look quite amateurish, like the fake pitch we had at my school. Don't particularly have a problem with the rest of the ground though. There seems to be room around it for expansion if a new stand was built on the end that ate into the car park a bit, easy enough to add roofs at some point. Do have a couple of questions, if Toronto were to get into Super League, then would they get more say over the running of the ground. Management of council owned stadiums could be different over their of course. Kcom is a council owned stadium but it is run by a different company which answers to the council. Also, just out of interest, seen as the rent on BMO is too high, what would the next option for a ground be to play in other than Lamport??

The subject is Toronto's stadium. I was merely pointing out that there is an even worse stadium down south that could potentially have super league rugby played on it so maybe we should give Toronto a break. This is of course within the subject matter at hand

Wolfpack management have said consistently that they want to stay at Lamport Stadium and would rather work with the city to make improvements than attempt to move elsewhere. And there really is no elsewhere, without taking the team miles out of town. Lamport is bang in the middle of a growing part of the city, surrounded by good pubs and close to two streetcar (tram) lines and a commuter train station. And Wolfpack fans LOVE Lamport. We're close to the pitch and the team and the atmosphere is just fantastic.

I don't think BMO Field is an option at any price as it's already home to Toronto FC and the Toronto Argonauts - and Wolfpack say they prefer to pack out a small stadium rather than have 7000 - 10000 fans rattle round in a 25000+ seat stadium. Plus we couldn't bring in our craft beer suppliers as BMO is all sewn up with Budweiser and other swill.

Lamport is an amateur pitch when it's not home to the Wolfpack - that's just the way it is right now so I've no idea about the future of the pitch markings. Elstone was over here and he's seen them, so it will be an issue if Super League say it's an issue. Nevertheless, we fully expect another outbreak of anti-pitch-marking digs after the MPG.

I'd predict that Wolfpack will negotiate something with the city. You're right, there is room to expand at the south end and build some cover. Toronto FC owners MLSE have done two stages of expansion at BMO Field working with the city so far, so there is precedent.

You don't merely point anything out unless it's part of your usual agenda, I doubt you've been to either ground, so what's the problem here, is it the state of the pitch or the off field facilities, why should you care anyway you shouldn't be here.

No. You and your pen pal were trying to deflect attention from the subject matter. Saying Trailfinders is bad doesn't make Lamport any better..... Its the tactic of a 4 year old child....
