Still not sure why anyone would have taken the risk of spending 500 notes to fly somewhere for a game that in Jan was looking highly unlikely to happen at the location or even in the country advertised! I hope for those that have booked that either the pitch is ready or a suitable alternative is found but I would still put my money on it being played closer to hull East Yorkshire than hull in Ottawa.
Let’s see what happens eh!

It is not good enough though. Is it?

Have to agree with you bosty.
But it’s the great expansion plan so who are we to complain.
I fail to see how woodsy can put a good spin on the value of Toronto with what’s happened so far this year.
Toulouse was one thing, Halifax in defence of Toronto if I am correct was driven by the RFL, so not fully sure what is going on.

I'd start with the club (London) as a first point of contact, then the RFL. I remember the French Fiasco, when fans were on the plane home as the game was kicking off......enough of us made a fuss that the Parliamentary RL group sought confirmation that for games so far away for away supporters this would never happen again.....I still don't know why it's gone all quiet on Hamilton?

Compo for all those fans who have forked out and play the game at the Skolars with free entry.

A demo game in NY?

A demo game in NY stil not really any good for those who have tickets to Toronto

It’s just the other side of Niagara

The RFL could pay for us to go, because they would want to be there. The sport is after all run for their sole benefit.

Yep a short 9 hour drive or hr and a bit flight, easy to do hmmm

Not looking good I'm afraid. Pitch work due to be completed by the "end of June". Fingers crossed for those of you who have booked. https://mobile.twitter.com/WolfPackPack ... 3130599424

The end of June was always the case, seems a bit odd that no alternative arrangements have been announced yet, even if it’s “don’t worry we have another venue available”
Suppose it is still two months away though.
Wonder how woodsy will explain this one away?

Well, TWP are still selling season tickets. Although they were supposed to be available for collection from early March, that did not happen.
It has been said that the game might be played despite works not being finished. I think that this is extremely unlikely.
More likely it will be moved to another venue. I understand that the ground at Hamilton is not available, but the University of Guelph has a stadium which is. That is over sixty miles away to the west from Toronto.
I looked up things to do in Guelph, one of them was mixing with donkeys, That could well be us, with Ralph Rimmer , Brian Barwick,, Simon Johnson and the rest of the donkeys at the top of the RFL.
seriously, WILL SOMEONE SORT THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sister in law used to live there......I have visited the place twice and it's not much more than a university city...pretty non-descript with many of the residents commuting to well paid jobs in Toronto by train.

We (Leigh) play there on 30th June. I wonder if/when they will switch that one? Our game at Toulouse has been switched to Albi, a mere 70km away. When the club complained, they were told that fans could get on a train. It's just a pity they had booked flights to, & hotels in, Toulouse!

Hopefully, our 'Summer Bash' game with Toronto, doesn't get switched from Blackpool, on the basis that it would be an anti-climax for Toronto, compared with the 'Magic Weekend'!

The Toronto v Swinton game has shifted to another venue near Toronto so at least they seem to be trying to play in Canada. The potentially bad news for some is the locals seem to think public transport there is a challenge and it might sell out.

Obviously not certain the London game will also play there but two points for those already booked to keep an eye on.
