GUBRATS

Not a criticism on my part John , a very sensible decision given the short turnaround time just the ' terminology '

Come on Cas

' Sold out ' ? , or ' Given out ' ?

It would if they were actually ' away ' , the majority would still be at ' home '

Toronto are going to be really battered then travelling back and forth all season Its a bit like the ' plastic pitch ' anomoly , if they rip your knees to bits , why arent all the Widnes players playing with bandaged up knees , as they play 15 games a season on it ?

How ?

It is

So ' Knuckleduster head ' is retiring ?

So basically Toronto have ' topped out ' with regards attendances , there is no reason for them to grow any bigger

I live in Leigh , why would I be interested in Toronto , New york or Boston ?

The situation with Visa's , travel to Canada , potential of not playing a home game for a month , the potential salary cap issues as they strengthen , just the general stuff that comes along with something so drastically new as a club on a different continent As I put , Toulouse would have been best ' for the sport ' and London just dont have the cash,facilities,supporters Also the Championship can perhaps then decide exactly what its future will be after the next broadcasting deal

It doesnt matter as this is the last shield fixture , ever

" Opposed " isnt the word , it wont happen John , any ' merged ' club just wouldnt have any supporters at all , whereas the original club [ or a completely new club set up in even the amatuer ranks ] would retain a reasonable % of the originals support , so essentially ' Manchester would be playing Newcastle in front of 500 , but Wigan as an amateur club would be playing Leigh in front of 5,000 , and it wouldnt change

Going to be fun finding out

If i'm given a single page one like last time , yes , but I dont buy them anymore , havent for decades
