Well then like you I have not attended the Lamport Stadium and you are basing your observations on TV coverage but I have family who have attended the Toronto matches and still do who would beg to differ with your unqualified statement.

So it's full when your family are in it but the optical illusion that I'm seeing on TV just makes it look a third full right I get it

| I never said the Stadium was full when my family attend I am merely pointing out that as you have not been on the ground then you are not qualified to make a statement on Toronto making false attendance numbers. My own observations from the TV coverage does as you say appear to make the stadium far from full but have you not considered being an old stadium it may be able to hold more fans than 9,600 but restricted through safety as indeed our own Hilton Park was. Talking about Hilton Park they used to knock numbers off the attendance not add them on to save on tax.

Ive no objections to Toronto being in any of our leagues as long as they can only field the same amount of overseas players as the other teams

With them being a Canadian team (in location only), they probably have 27 overseas players already !!!

| Toronto abide by the same rules as every other club involved in the league structure.
"overseas players" isn't a thing anymore.
Providing their players came through at a club within the Federation, which is the RLEF, they don't count. Same as French players don't count at English clubs, or English players at Catalans. So don't get too excited.

| Excited ??? (We have NO interest in Toronto Nomads) Are you retarded, can you not understand why us Leythers are annoyed by this Toronto fest. Rowley quit as our coach just 2 weeks before the 2016 season started, and then 'took the pi55' shortly after by taking the current Leigh players to a Salford home game that was live on Sky, and guess what, the cameras picked it up on them all 'sat in the stands' THEN eventually they sign 10 ex Leigh players, and including (Mr. Morals) their entire coaching team (all 3) are all ex Leigh Centurions.

No. I'd suggest the majority of "Leythers" were disappointed for about a week after Rowley quit and then let it go. And they now watch Toronto with great interest in the knowledge that Rowley's Leigh team's produced the most attractive rugby for decades. The Wolfpack is a very interesting business model and they've just announced a few more signings.

The Wolfpack? Usually all Leythers call them Toronto.. Business model! Would you care to elaborate?
