No money spent by us...imagine that...getting a sponsor that's not Nigel's hardware down the road eh? Craziest thing having major sponsors...you guys should really give it a go...its great.

Blind side johnny Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 7 hours ago, Loup said: Expectation of 300-1,000 away fans visiting each home game, and Air Transat is in the vacation business. The number of paying passengers increases in Super League yet the number of players & support staff will be the same as before. A good win for Air Transat/Air Canada. Wasn't it always an in-kind sponsorship anyway? After the free year ends (i.e., not free to Wolfpack), I'm hoping that Super League has the nous to create its own deal with AT. Wait until you play Wigan. They won't even travel to home games. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

JohnM Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I must apologise for providing The Parksider with yet another opportunity to re-arrange his well-known phrases and sayings into another version of his perpetuem mobile. Will anyone with the stamina to follow the "why use one word when thousand will do" Torontophobe posts can enlighten the forum as to The Parksiders vision of the future of the game, please do so. All I ever see from him iin response to any post on any subject s a nihilistic anti-Toronto diatribe as if he's lent them some money but not been paid back. It would be revealing to read his vision for the Toronto-free future of the game here, if he does have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Parksider does make some good points, but his evangelical hatred for TWP detracts from them. It remains to be seen what will happen with TWP but I hope it works out and most people will enjoy the ride whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canis Lupus Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 John Tory said after the game that the city would be putting in extra seating at Lamport. BMO would be too big and the game day experience people have had at Lamport would disappear. Much better to stay at Lamport and expand the capacity for now.

I agree that may be true but just how much will Lamport be expanded/be expandable. You'd imagine home crowds will go up with Super League status - but especially in this first few seasons away following could be massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Lupus Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The easiest way is to add seating at the scoreboard end of the ground . Also to work with the city on the numbers allowed in with fire regs. Those you see on matchdays in the VIP and beer garden are in the 9600 capacity . The east and west stands can hold the 9600. there is scope to increase capacity without the adding of extra seats . TWP could significantly increase those able to attend without losing what has been built as a great game day experience for home fans and visitors alike. Bob Hunter has experience in this area and will have already noted what changes need to be made I am sure. Just such a huge jump going up to BMO . It would kill the atmosphere .

It would be revealing to read his vision for the Toronto-free future of the game here, if he does have one. I've asked him many times and he has absolutely nothing to offer in terms of reversing the decline in participation, spectator numbers, column inches, big moneyed sponsors etc. All he offers is reasons why its impossible to grow the game anywhere in the world. He's not an advocate of rugby league, his comments on the appeal of the game reveal a complete lack of faith in the games future. He is seething with resentment against anyone (anywhere) who shows that it can be done. Ever since his cherished Hunslet club were spurned by the SL/RFL he's harboured a hatred of the game, particularly the successful clubs. He spoke of his outrage and how much of a stir it caused in the town. According to him, the supporters were so upset about 50 of them turned out to protest! If they'd had 3 more, they would have marched on parliament. Ha ha ha. Hell hath no fury like a troll scorned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
