They are diabolical. They could start a fight in an empty room.

| Quote Fantastic Mr Cat="Fantastic Mr Cat"do they throw smoke bombs onto pitches?'"
The last fev game I was at they set a fire work off when Leeds were lining up a conversation at 68-10 . It was 4.30pm on a bright August afternoon.
I still want fev to win though.

| Quote Wellsy13="Wellsy13"You are entitled to your opinion. Bitterness would be you lacking reasons behind it, which you have articulated well.
Unfortunately, too many (way too many) don't. It really does hold the game back. It's ok for us who were born and bred it, but try bringing someone from outside the game in to join the sh*tshow online about new clubs.'"
I think the above says more about social media (and to a lesser extent on line forums), that it does against actual fans of RL.
Most comments on line are only discussed in black and white or at the extremes of the subject in question - a trait of the modern world but, thankfully, the real world is slightly different.
FWIW, if we are serious about expansion, it shouldn't be to the detriment of what we currently have, it should enhance it and the major fear, as I intimated previously, is that there is a plan to jettison a large chunk of SL and replace it with a number of N. American clubs, ironically filled with the very players that currently play for those SL clubs and the N. American clubs would have zero foundation- no academies or junior sides and certainly no competing in the academy leagues and let's not even think about the cup competitions, which they seem to be allowed to avoid, which means one hell of a risk to the game as a whole over here.

| Quote Wellsy13="Wellsy13"On this site, and in seriously media, it is far more the other way in terms of guff being spread.
I won't deny there are some fans of expansion who love to stick the boot in, but there is far less venom in what they say compared to the anti-Toronto groups.
Reading through this thread and some of the bile from so called fans of the game makes it clear what is holding the game back -and it's not a club from the other side of the Atlantic, or wanting a particular club to succeed; it's fans who spread hate within their own sport.'"
Its jealousy. Nothing more nothing less and its mainly from fans of clubs who have no chance of being promoted to SL or fans of clubs who are at risk of relegation from SL

Of course it is. I'm sure that everyone wants to have to pay £1500 just to watch their side play an away fixture or, maybe, the actual paying fans are deemed as unnecessary and if you watch RL as a family there is even less chance of going to Toronto.

Ah, the old playground taunt, " you're only jealous". Someone expressing an opinion contrary to your own is not jealous, they just have a different opinion.

Expressing hatred isn't expressing an opinion.
Hatred often comes through bitterness.

I don't buy this argument about traveling fans at all.
My club has to travel to Australia last year. I couldn't afford it, so I didn't go. I didn't complain about it. I'm actually grateful that a have the chance to go to these places following my club.
You don't have to go to every game. Variety is great. The league cannot run by staying close enough to your home club to allow everyone to go to every game. It's a literal example of small time.

If you're paying, I'd prefer it too but, it's not a realistic option for the vast majority of fans though, is it ?
