You couldn't write it. They really are clueless.

Yeah because semi-pro clubs got to see pro players. You don't really understand context, do you?

So there we have it. Toronto are already a bigger club than Wakefield and Leigh lol

Really? Where are you playing on June the 30th?

Lamport Stadium......... [sizeIF[/size it's ready.

So they do have a ground you've just decided in your mind that it won't be available.

Toronto will give Leigh such a pasting on June 30 at Lamport Stadium, that the 20 Leigh fans in attendance will be wishing that they had not flown over there.

I said IF you fool.

JEAN, you're obviously having orgasms over one game. Calm down dear.

BTW - How are Calamitous Catalans doing atm?

Just to give balance to this argument, you have to look at why this would happen.
An overseas club filled with superstars comes to town to play against your part time team ??
It's not rocket science to see that there would be some additional interest form curious RL fans.

This situation will change when they are playing tougher opposition and if Toronto become "average" rather than beating every team that they come up against (due to spending 5x as much on players), this situation would probably reverse.

I fully agree that clubs shouldn't be reliant on away support but, the atmosphere at games where there are zero away fans doesn't draw people in.
Hence the reason why the local derby matches are so interesting. THe atmosphere cranks up a few notches and there is passion from BOTH sets of fans.
In the new "world league" this atmosphere simply wont exist, it does happen already when Catalan come to town and now that they are bottom feeders, battling to avoid the drop the "draw" of playing an overseas club has disappeared completely.

Be careful what you wish for, we could well end up playing half of the fixtures against "mute" opposition and fans will not turn up if every game is like being in a library.

On the argument about supporting teams home or away I have been a fan of hull kr for over 55yrs and upto 10yrs ok went ever week hom and away but now I live down south and can only get their now and again so without sky would not see them and I know lots of other people that foller rugby league down we’re I live has well the game needs to spread hear has well has abroad

Good on you old "foller." There is an English language school here in Carcassonne that is not too expensive. Would you care to enroll in it for the good of the forum?
