JohnM Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 So in summary, "where there's a will there's a away." It seems to me that some people have decided first and foremost they just don't want Toronto in our game and then set out looking for excuses, any excuses, to justify their prejudice.

RP London Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just now, amm said: Would they have had to pay for that?. dunno... could be a fair call though... maybe air transat say we'll pay for your flights but you have to go when we tell you... which I suppose is a fair trade off and may be an issue of the 8s being organised so late fixture wise..

Dave T Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Things like agreements that a club travelling to Toronto will play their next match no earlier than the FOLLOWING Saturday is easy enough to implement, and clubs just need to adapt their travel and training plans to meet the requirements. With talk like this, and the furore over Denver we are sounding really small time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Shepherd Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 This is so easily solved. Fly back on the Monday evening Manchester flight and let the players have a well earned day off. Just need to ensure that you're not expected to play on Thursday or Friday. But hey, this is rugby league let's have a moan and a whine over nothing. However, Air Transat are not the only game in town. There are cheaper options (if the clubs are paying their own way). Icelandair have a daily Toronto > Keflavic > Manchester and vice versa. There also BA from Heathrow and the shuttle up to LBA/MAN Or even Humberside/LBA to Toronto via Schipol with KLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clogiron Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Isn't this all getting to be like the NRL and Denver? Is the expression 'Grow some' appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no flights into Manchester on a Monday as a poster above suggests, this becomes a somewhat of an issue. Why? Is Glasgow someplace on the other side of the world?

JohnM Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Air Transat Toronto to Schipol, KLM Schipol to Humberside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP London Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 transat fly from toronto to manchester on a saturday, monday, Tuesday, wednesday and Thursday so I dont really see a problem with this to be honest.. As AMM mentioned though this may be more down to having to take what you are given and the timing and availability of said flights with regards the fixtures for the 8s.. again a set of circumstances which may never occur again.
