You do understand the word mutually don’t you? If you can’t hack it travelling every other week you may get be better starting your own league mate.

We do understand 'mutually' far more than any other club.. We travel more than any other team but that is part of our nature and setup so we don't mind, it is what it is. We have started our own league...haven't you figured that out yet?

If you don’t mind why are you moaning about not getting your own way with the distribution of home and away fixtures?

No one is moaning about anything...a little consideration would have been nice but that is the way it seems to be in Rugby League...always erecting self created obstacles to our progress...we will overcome them shortly to the surprise of all (as we have always done in the past).
Time to play...the schedule is what it is...no excuses on this end.

Flexibility and politeness etc is all well and good but equality, especially in sport, is paramount. Allowing Toronto to play all their games in a block is treating Toronto in an unequal manner. It is not only perceived to give them an advantage but also disrupts the ability to generate a stable fixture list for the rest. Your chairman recently used the fixture list to moan about keeping them out of SL. That's YOUR chairman, no one else's chairman, than moaned.
Also, your stadium might have been good so far, but considering Toronto are meant to be showing the rest of us the way (according to you), from what I've seen it looks like a pitch in a park somewhere with a couple of stands put up on either side. Hardly a gleaming example of a fantastic SL stadium. I suppose this may change if they get promoted.

We are new, just trying to work things out for the first time and asking for a wee bit of co operation is all...I guess thats asking too much.
Nothing wrong with the stadium...although it is dated and could use some enhancements (which has begun). its a work in progress....but its what goes on in the stadium field that really matters now isn't it?

To a certain extent but supporter comfort is essential if you want to attract more supporters.

Lamport Stadium is owned by the city of Toronto. It's been around for a while. Not the fanciest stadium in the world, but it's the ideal venue for this city and attracts supporters for different reasons than personal comfort. It's very close to downtown and served by two streetcar (tram) routes and a suburban train station. No need to drive, so you can enjoy the craft beer garden. The atmosphere is easygoing and the staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. There are five big pubs close by. It's a short walk to BMO Field where Toronto FC and the Toronto Argos (CFL) play.
Many of the supporters are younger adults and a lot of families come out.
Yes, the VIP section is just a couple of tents and we'd get wet if it rained, but so far neither of those issues have bothered the fans.
Early last year, the city replaced the playing surface and upgraded it to 4G artificial turf. Any future renovations would have to be worked out with the city ... let's see where that goes.

I have heard no complaints except about the womens washrooms last year and this seems to have been resolved. Interestingly, I have heard that 'corporate facilities must be provided for visiting SL teams and Lamport isn't adequate " though...this is troubling. Silly...let the fat cats take what is provided, it is more than adequate...what do you think we are running over here, some type of outdated class system, get with the program...not on!

If we gave visiting teams any more of a hand with the Visas we would need a prosthesis!
