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.

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 d040.gif

As for not interested......Toronto and their decision makers wouldn't now the difference between the Broncos and the Skolars, let alone point out their respective grounds on an A-2-Z.

Also, whilst the ownership of the Skolars DO have a clue how to run an event based business, our own lord and master doesn't....he's admitted as much but he still won't employ someone to do it......so we get the announcer from London Scottish in charge of sponsorship......genius d040.gif

33% is better than 25% or 0 or a drop.
See your looking backwards again dog, pointless, you can’t change the past.
You talked about attracting fans and pick out one individual, on last year more fans have been attracted and the individual you picked out has done the job he is paid for, sponsorship income is up on last year.
As for Toronto, that’s quite an assumption you make.

How do you know there wasn't communication about this and perhaps some idiots who are running up debts everywhere thought of themselves so highly they wanted more than half of the gate as it would be their game that was the main event?

Would you let someone who already owes you money throw a party in your house alongside yours but expect the lions share of the takings?

“Just watching Toronto playing Dewsbury, Robert Hicks is the referee. Pulling out all the stops for them are the RFL.”
Bosty am assuming from your comment that you are saying it’s a good thing they put hicks on the game. Can’t knock him for the performance.
For rams thought Worrincy was excellent
