Another doubting Thomas I see. Move to the light, thats right step out of the shadows and into the light....good. You'll start to get a tan in no time.
Okay...Okay!....I'll put your name at the top of the new order form for Wolfpack mechandise...we are all sold out at the moment. No don't worry....we'll fit you in.

It took the Giants a decade to have home grown players in the first team squad regularly once we got promoted...give the Woolfpack the same grace at least eh.

Youth development takes years, and a lot of money and TWP are on it - which is more than some SL clubs are.

Toronto also have set a benchmark on how to engage and interact with the local audience, something the Giants could damn well do with looking at.

All power to them I say, and I welcome them to SL if they win through the Qualifying 8s.

Huddersfield Giants - "We know our place":



“Toronto also have set a benchmark on how to engage and interact with the local audience, something the Giants could damn well do with looking at.”

Now that’s the truth!

Why thank you...The first Canadian developed is on the upcoming game sheet against Featherstone...a young lad named Quinn from the west coast....

We are doing alot of development but I'm afraid, for some, it will never be enough or there will just be another reason to be against us....its our very existence they detest...very odd and strange...and Canada being a child of Britain.....its like a Mother hating her own son....sad...

If we get in SL it will be interesting to see how the fans up there react....the visiting fans (and I have been to every game) can't believe the atmosphere over here, they describe it as a full day carnival type atmosphere, very relaxing and fun, very easy going and enjoyable....many can't believe its a rugby venue and every one of them loved the experience!

Some of the League 1 teams learned (York and Coventry especially) and it has worked out well for them....other teams have also watched and learned. Will the SL teams be receptive or will they ignore and say they have nothing to learn from a startup...I hope for the former but I fear the latter will be the outcome.....lots to learn from Toronto! We do pretty well everything differently over here. Its a great vibe over here right now...very interesting to watch unfold.

I think most people want you to do well, And if bigging yourself up is any measure you should be champions in your first year. It's a pity your billionaire didn't come along 150 years ago, you could have showed us how to bury soccer and how to do things right, ( God knows we could do with someone to do that ). But as i have said before you won't be dealing with the RFL for very much longer , You will be dealing with people with a bit more nouse, whether that will increase your chances i don't know.
Iv'e said before i think you will have a couple of years before the ESL takes over proper, and then if you are not increasing the honey pot or if you are costing SL clubs money i think you will be in trouble , no matter which way you run with the pack. Let's hope it all works out because the game really does need to expand.

Its going to be an interesting ride and refreshing for most in the end...I'll let the billionaires take care of the money end....going canoeing and fishing for a few days now....will think it all over out on the water and in the bush.
Problem Question: Should I take my dog with me this time?
Best of Luck!

Billionaires in RUGBY LEAGUE, sorry canoeman but more a nation of shopkeepers, I think you would be better getting in to football {soccer} if your looking to make money, over half the teams in rugby dont own the ground and have to rent it,

You gotta believe Steve...we are not like any other club...we are the Alpha and the Omega...we are THE WOLFPACK!

Rugby League your saviour is finally here!...lay out the palm fronds upon our return...we come from a far and distant land bearing gifts.

Hahahahaha....
Hahahahahahahaha..........

The alpha and omega has just got beat by 16 man Featherstone Rovers....

Toronto 12-30 Featherstone Rovers looks like the ‘Pack’ were the saviours of Fev’s top four hopes......

No worries...Fev deserved the win. We were resting some players but no excuses....crowd of 8 2000 was fun and is growing pretty well every game (like last year too). I'm predicting a sell out in the playoffs.

Confidence level is strong....fan support is strong...players belief in what we are doing is strong...great coaching and ownership. Nowhere to go but UP, UP, UP!

82000 icon_eek.gif icon_wink.gif

when the games are shown on tv looks nothing like 8200, think thats on tickets sold and not on actual numbers turning up on the day

Quote: GIANTSRL "82000
I understand that...but the figure is correct as pointed out on another thread by Pandamonium...I will explain a couple of things about Toronto and crowd size you have to understand, I've said them before and and was banned from the Terrace for trying to derail the thread; how is telling the truth derailing a thread?;bizarre, for some reason, unknown to me, some simply refuse to believe them. Out or courtesy I will repeat:
1. The cameras mainly show East Stand which is never as full as West Stand (season ticket holders here)
2. In Britain I guess people show up before the game actually starts and get their place. Understand that this never happens in Toronto for any sport EVER! Even playoffs in hockey and baseball.
People drift in and you really can't get an accurate figure until 20-30 minutes into the game...it is the sporting culture over here...aleways has been like that.
3. A large number of people never take a seat but wander around the area...its a social thing. This is aleways a very large number, not just a few.
4. I have been to every home game for 2 years and the attendance figures are always accurate, thats the truth of it.
5. The stadium is leased from the City of Toronto and they are in charge of the gate number. All tickets are electronically scanned by the City employee, not the Club, and they then supply the number of tickets through the gate. This number is beyond reproach since it is subject to forensic accounting for the City of Toronto...it is a municipal controlled structure....the Club is not involved in any way....there would be severe legal ramifications and the lease would be cancelled for the grounds PERIOD (.)

Those are the facts.
