LR23 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Please let Salford be one of them! But not Amsterdam - can't stand the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fevtom Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 As the title says, It could be Rotterdam or anywhere..... If it were to be Rotterdam, one of the Hull teams would seem an obvious opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Sparta Rotterdam would be great. Flight to Schiphol, 30 mins or so train to Rotterdam Centraal, then a quick hop on the metro. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Sorry to come over all " parky" on you guys, but what the hell is going on? New " expansion" team , newly promoted, new Canadian fans , spreading TGG to Canada at long last achieved the dream of a SL place , and a home game is taken away to Netherlands. Stuff the Canadian fans, one game less to go see, tough luck suckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

If people and/or clubs weren't moaning about allowing Toronto to play in blocks then there would be no need to take games going away from Canada.

manu266 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 7 years ago, I made a wish, to get a professional rugby league team in Canada. Checked. Moving back to Belgium this year, my wish was to get Wolfpack early “home” games in the Netherlands. Checked. Can I get one billion euros now?

Stuff the Canadian fans, one game less to go see, tough luck suckers. They can't play in Toronto until April due to the climate. The season starts in February. They're going to play their three home 'loop fixtures' somewhere in Europe, so each SL team only has to go to Canada once. I don't have a problem with it. In fact if they play one in Rotterdam or Amsterdam I'll seriously consider going! @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowdesert Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I use KLM out of Leeds a lot. Bus directly to Leeds Bradford is a few quid and the flight will be around £80. im guessing, but I expect the Ferry from Hull will be more expensive now everything’s (bed, food) itemised.

In fact if they play one in Rotterdam or Amsterdam I'll seriously consider going! That’s my thinking too. When they announce the games and dates I will look into the possibility of going if the dates work out etc... it’s something a bit different and novelty sells... run with it (that goes for the other teams making the most of the novelty, before it runs out, of having Toronto in town) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost of the ferry varies enormously depending on the time of year, mate. You can get some very good deals out of their peak times. Would love a trip on the ferry to see Hull in Rotterdam.

Oliver Clothesoff Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 If they “take” Broncos’ fixtures from this year, that means three games against Saints and two away, so one in Canada and one in Europe somewhere. Take the Champions to Holland lads, you know it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
