Mr Frisky Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 May be expensive but what about hiring the sky dome for a couple of matches? Nice fully covered roof from memory to keep the fans warm and dry - may get a nice discount and a decent crowd if marketed correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming all loop TWP home fixtures will be played early season in the UK (or in Europe), so each SL team has one away game in Toronto.

Chronicler of Chiswick Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Fixtures are usually released in mid to late November. Obviously the powers that be in RL have a provisional outline already to allow for Toronto's promotion [cough, cough]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 If we started the season in April Toronto would be able to play throughout the regular season at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsy4HullFC Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'd look to have a big opening game at the SkyDome (or Rogers Centre now) since it has a roof, or BMO field if they can deal with the weather in February. Get it going with a bang and sell season tickets for Lamport based on the additional interest. My fear is they don't have any home games for a while and then their audience don't like the fact that they're not winning so easily (or at all) so don't turn up in as large numbers.

SkyDome won't happen. They won't remove the pitchers mound now (one reason Argos left) Toronto fans will support losing teams - they don't tend to be as band wagony as some places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael1812 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I do like the idea of the wolfpack trying to put on a large home opener in another to venue. To me, for the tv and fan experience, BMO would be best but the time of year would put off people attending. IMHO, skydome is a bit dull and wouldn’t be good. I’ve been there with 50,000 for a TFC champions league match and it just feels empty and cavernous. Maybe they could try BMO for a summer match with a club from England that will bring a large travelling support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Clothesoff Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Wonder what London ground they’ll use for their London game. Skolars simply isn’t Super League standard and they should be hoping for a better crowd than Skolars’ Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those loyal connections may not have been made in just 3 years. It's easier to walk away from it than the other sports. Not saying that will happen. It's a great social experiment in a way.
