There may have to be a correction about when wakey play Toronto,
Toronto's first home game in Canada will be in April, so as usual expect it will be us ! Perfect set up again !

Can't really see your point here chief, we will have played about 10 games or so by then, we will have to go there at some stage first or last team to go, April/September what's the difference?

Sometimes other fans brand us as paranoid and rightly so in many cases, but not this one. I don’t think it happens every time but in percentage terms it’s huge and imo impossible if it’s supposed to be random.

That said don’t Toronto have to wait a couple of month before they play at home due to the weather? In which case it’s less of an issue though I still suspect it will be us.

April would be good - especially as depending which weekend you can get a direct return flight with air transat for about 380 quid which makes it do able

When do they announce fixtures

More likely that we play them first up, either at home or as one of their early season on the road games, probably in Bradford, if Perez and his consortium actually do go for the Bulls.

I'd put good money on it being us or KR to face them in their first SL game

I'm sure I read somewhere the fixtures are to be announced in the week commencing 4th. November.

Looking forward to them coming out.
There is another overseas trip to try and get in, although it's not going to be cheap.

It's strange that last week "some" posters were complaining about the price of a ST but, with trips to France, Canada, Magic + internationals, another £20/30 on a S/T pales into insignificance
(I know that many fans, especially with families, cant consider some of these)

A correction of what? The fixtures aren't even out yet. But what difference does it make anyway?

I'm not sure what the problem is.

In statistical terms, we haven't played the promoted side first up since 2014.
In terms of travelling to Toronto, we have to do it sometime, why would first be different when it isn't the first game of the season.

Can't see the issue.
I'm pretty certain if someone wanted to stick it to us they would not pick Toronto to do it. That's a good shot at a win for us compared to many other possibilities.

TBF it was only one poster, who’s conveniently disappeared after bein shot down several times.

Have you forgotten London already ?
Plus, with promotion not having been a certainty until last season, we do still seem to be favourites to play any promoted side on the first game of the season.
Maybe it's tricks of the memory but, didn't we definitely played Widnes first after their promotion - I can remember all the coaches lined up at BV and I recall playing KR first when they cam up.
In a 12 team comp, I think that we are beating the "average" for these things, by a distance.
It would be a great quiz question to ask which sides have been promoted from the Championship during the SL era ?

Yes we played Widnes and London first game after their promotion.

KR as well ?
