Quote: Exiled down south "What is he actually buying? Why not just start a new club up in USA.'"


I imagine the main thing is the clubs licence, although surely there would be certain procedures he would have to go through to be able to change the clubs location/name etc - Not sure if it would be much easier than just applying for licence with a new club to play in league 1, especially with a number of clubs currently struggling financially or as a whole you would think there maybe openings in the next few years for a new club to be granted a licence to play in league 1. I know there was a Manchester team rejected last year and they seem to have better foundations in terms of fan base, player development at that level than West Wales, but I guess they did not fit some criteria in certain areas.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result:

What was wrong with gutterfax he always backed up what he said with facts you say something and the same three posters conveniently agree and back you up

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: Joff "It doesn't deny Argyle's investment. Says little really.'"

It says that they are going nowhere......but you and your little troupe pf buddies carry on destroying this site with very little to actually say other than that you don't like Leigh c020.gif
As for my identity. The moderators on here know exactly who I am and exactly where I am posting from.....unlike you and your "widdle buddies", I have never hidden my identity to score points. As I posted on the last page, Hector has said the club are going nowhere and as another poster has pointed out, Argyle can only have 25% of another club, so Hector is still the majority shareholder....the Skolars are going nowhere.

Jog on Troll.......although it's worrying that the major responded to your "iconic pictures of grounds" was a moderator.....it seems the site can't do without its lunatics now icon_rolleyes.gif

I am glad that I am not the only one to notice the "symmetry" of certain posters.

Although I will admit that this is just an opinion and not a fact, as it will be impossible to prove or disprove for that matter, there does seem to be a concerted effort to hijack most threads from a core group of posters with near identical agendas....... icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: Joff "All you ever do is derail topics. ..'"

You woke this morning, typed in RLFANS.COM and posted 6 comments i threads, 5 of which, including this one, added nothing to the tpic under discussion, but instead just baiting me.
The Irony of you accusing me of derailing a thread is somewhat delicious.
Back on topic.

Hector has said the Skolars are going nowhere. That's good enough for me!

This could all just be an idea, that someone has got hold of and made something out of nothing.

I often think about buying Wakefield Trinity but I don’t have the money; one day I might though so if anyone wants to take anything from that and run with it, be my guest icon_wink.gif

Thats a little rich to be honest.

You have been a member here for a month and your obsession with gutterfax is scary, which brings me to an observation...

How would you know so much bout gutterfax, seeing as you have only been here a month and the username gutterfax hasnt been around in a good while

Sorry if this has been said, but there's 6 pages and there's too much empty vessels making too much noise for me to read through.

But my question is: Why buy a British club just to relocate them to the US? I mean, is it just for their spot in the league? Because I don't think it'd be that hard to just set up a team in wherever you're wanting to set it up and then apply to join the league. Toronto have proved that.

If I was a rich fella and wanted to set up a team outside of the host country, then I would be looking at setting it up in my own back yard so to speak.

Bringing a team over in a Ikea style fashion will not get the local populous interested and involved.

Start local, involve local talent and areas of business, get the community involved. Start from scratch and work from there with involvement from the area.

Little acorns and all that.

Joff's been busy on southstander resurrecting 3 year-old threads started by a poster called Mario. Make of that what you will.
