My issue with playing at Markham is the access. Public transport gets you at best to within 2km of the ground. You need to take a taxi from there.
The recommendation is that it is more practical to hire a car. Where you are going to park it if you are saying downtown I do not know.
I have to agree Fletchers Fields facilities seem somewhat lacking.

Bosty they are the posts I mean, the rear post is behind the dead ball line but too close

Crikey I remember seeing those Hunslet posts on BBC2 Floodlit Rugby League in the 1970s. It was that and the BBC coverage on Grandstand that got me into the game as a schoolboy in the 1960s and 70s,.

As a kid I watched those games Saturday afternoon games on grandstand with my dad. Often with it being in black and white and played in winter you could hardly tell which team was which. Despite my dad telling me what a great game it was.
Only when rugby league came to Maidstone that I realized how right he was. Never looked back.

Tickets for the TWP game against London at Lamporte Stadium went on sale today. Yes Laporte Stadium. $25 upwards are the tickets.

Just watching Toronto playing Dewsbury, Robert Hicks is the referee. Pulling out all the stops for them are the RFL.

What you suggesting bosty?

On TV they are promoting the Halifax game at Skolars. The Laporte Stadium situation is a cock up. This game should be played in Canada.
If they wanted to play in London, we should have had a double header at Trailfinders. The game could have followed our Dewsbury game and it could have become a festival of Rugby. Something to promote, which could have benefitted the whole game.

Apparently this game is being played in the UK under instruction from the RFL don’t think the lamport stadium issue has anything to do with it! Toronto were instructed by the RFL that they had to play one of their homes games here, don’t think the Toulouse game was taken into account. I have no link just word of mouth info

Dewsbury will not roll over. They train on a 4G pitch which may lessen our advantage. I would expect a win, but it may not be that easy.

So why not make it be played after our Dewsbury game at Trailfinders. The RFL could have got behind it and promoted it hard. Done something positive for the game in London for a change.

We don’t know that the RFL didn’t want to get behind it, you are assuming Toronto would have been interested in playing it as a double header with us, or anyone else, how would the gate be split?

Whilst I think that the RFL are as much use as a chocolate Tea Spoon, they have tried many times to assist London Broncos and have always been rebuffed by the man at the helm......it isn't their job to help us and Toronto playing at the Skolars is as much to do with the Skolars being proactive as it is Toronto being homeless......I would love to hear stories of Jason inviting the Canadians to play home games at ours but you and I know that it never happened, whilst the Skolars have a track record of understanding marketing event games..........so yep, the RFL are useless, just not in this instance.

Oh CMG, the suggestion was made by the club when it was first came up.

Suggestion?
Jesus wept......the moment it became common knowledge to the clubs that Toronto wouldn't be playing "at home" we should have been on the blower to Manchester or wherever they are based and offered to host them......as it is, 1,542 witnessed the Wolfpack v Skolars last year....whilst we only managed 1,205 this year (and 758 in the cup last)....which of the two London outfits do you reckon is the better option for selling tickets?
What odds on Toronto v Fax drawing a bigger gate than we do a few hours earlier v Dewsbury?....not that it'll matter to the bloke at the top, so long as he gets to watch "his" team and feel warm and fuzzy because he props us up?

Things like hosting double headers don't happen just because someone suggested it......they happen because people are prepared to step up and put in the hard work and hours to make them happen.....the Skolars get 1,000 for their pre-cc final jamboree each year......it's something they started and have stuck with it.......IIRC it started when we were Harlequins Rugby League playing at the Stoop.......3 grounds and a name change later, not to mention relegation from the top flight and we still think "suggestions" will pave the way 4.08837890625:5
