London Skolars’s opening Kingstone Press League 1 fixture of 2017 is set to break records as pre sales of tickets for the event surpass previous records.
Speaking of sale of ticket, Skolars General Manager Jac Davies said:
“The level of pre sales thus far have exceeded previous records, that’s some going when you consider the type of events that London Skolars are famed for hosting such as Capital Challenge and Friday Night Lights. We hope that as well as the spectacle of Toronto, fans are interested in what Skolars are bringing to the table this year, especially given it’s investment in facilities at New River”
It is hoped that the crowd will pack out the grand stand at New River as well as draw a global television audience giving both Skolars and Toronto some well deserved exposure.
“This event shows that League 1 can compete on the global market of sporting events, given the recent success of BBC Sport streaming early rounds of the Challenge Cup, there is certainly an appetite for more coverage of Rugby League beyond the hold of Super League clubs.” said Jac Davies.
Tickets are still available via this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kingstone- ... 0073751400 |

Is only the main stand open or are they going to allow standing on far side?
Also what is capacity of the New River?

They took a proper hiding!! 00-76
Toronto would be top 4 in the championship imo so our cup tie will be very tough.

Do not think that was the sort of record that they wanted to break.

Don't agree with the suggestion that Toronto would make championship top 4. Yep a fairly decent squad and yes they destroyed skolars as predicted, not being disrespectful to skolars but they didn't present much of an opposition and think a couple of early injuries made it harder for skolars. I would be dissapointed if we got turned over by them, tackle ff mm round the legs, close down QLT and Hall and they have very little else to offer.

lol; the irony of this thread title given the humiliating result (sorry Skolars). I guess we'll know for sure come 17/03, however I do think Toronto would be in the mix for the top 4 in the championship. Newly promoted Toulouse are already sitting in 4th place and whilst they dominated last year, I can't recall them posting many 70+ point winning margins away from home. Should be an intriguing cup tie......

Tolouse 74 Hemel 0
Toulouse 64 south Wales 0
Toulouse 84 Keighley 6
Rochdale toulouse draw!
So far this season 2 losses 1 to a very weak team in sheff, they only just beat fax.
I can see Toronto doing the same, going through the season with no losses or maybe 1 hiccup, then coming into championship and struggling away from home.

What was Toronto score against siddal? They didn't steam roller them! On plastic pitches they will go well, so they will be competitive against us, but let's see how they get on when they are playing in deepest Cumbria.
I reckon next year mid table championship, following year fighting for top 4

Congrats to Skolars on breaking their attendance record!
Toronto have a great core squad, if they remained fit i would have them in the top of the championship.
