Netherlands ask to host a Toronto Home game in 2020

[Leyther_Matt 520]

Aren’t Wasps a more likely prospect given how often they bid for RL events?

They used Hull KR this year, didn’t they? Saracens possibly because they won’t be able to use London Skolars, maybe Newcastle to tie in with a Thunder game. 

Saracens are limited to 16 events per year, I think - one of the few planning restrictions applied. after they were allowed to develop a stadium within the London green belt. I suppose if it's a double-header, that probably wouldn't matter.

Hope they organize a game over here in Czech Republic.

You’ve said it now, Scotchy & Co will be adding the Brno Bears to their world city league as we speak.

Is that Saracens locked into 16 events or 16 events regardless of whose events they are?

Cheap Ryanair daily flights Stansted Brno. . Makes a change to the Stag n Hen Capital Prague. And don’t forget the Mikulov Squirrels to the World City league

TWP are willing to organize games where ever they can do so realistically.  But the primary need is that the opponent in question has to be in agreement. So Czech Republic would be a real stretch S.A.  I wouldn't count on it.   It would seem to me that none of the SL teams even want to entertain a short jaunt across to the Netherlands.  Lordy, Lordy, they sure do have a teeny weenie comfort zone.

That's a shame. Oh well.

Always seem to promise such bold things but end up delivering with Craven Park and London Skolars. 

Would hope games in the UK are London, the North East and somewhere a little different, say York or Sheffield.

You couldn't hold a SL game at Sheffield Eagles ground, and holding one at Bramall Lane would be quite an ambitious move.

Sheffield or York in a double header with an Eagles or CK’s home game would be great. 

[Tommygilf 3,059]

According to League Express the 3 games in England will be 1 double header with an unnamed Super League Club, 1 double header with a championship club (expected to be York) and a double header with a premiership union club.

Edit: Wouldn't be surprised if Leeds were the SL club. Multiple changing rooms, a number of clubs relatively close by and a desire to host more events at the ground.

Worth a go, it might bring the Eagles back into the Sheffield public’s attention and if Toronto were playing say Leeds there would be a good away following. I’d go, and I live nearly 200 miles away.

We've held Championship matches at Bramall lane in the past, and Super league so I dont see it being that ambitious.. If they are prepared to pay the hire costs they'll get it..

i'd go but i live about 2.5 miles away.. not quite as impressive i grant you but thats at least 2 of us and i recon my boy would come so thats 3... i can carry a couple of cardboard cut outs and a blow up doll... if you can do the same we're up to about 9-12.. this is easy!

[Oliver Clothesoff 2,805]

It’s a bit boring from a fan’s point of view if they take a game to another Super League ground. 

The Championship one is hopefully York. Wouldn’t mind Sheffield either. Could see it being London, as Toronto have used Skolars in the past but their ground is not good enough for Super League.

The Rugby Union one is interesting. Coventry perhaps, with a Wasps game? I hope it’s not the Saints game moved to a Union ground.

Sale could be another option, or one of the London Clubs

[Eddie 1,194]

Carrow Road would be a good choice, people could tie it in with Broads Holidays and trips to the seaside. I’ll email David Argyle now.

Not sure the logistics but surely the only sensible "double header" would be at the KC stadium with TO playing Rovers. I suppose it just depends on the draw timings

Yeah I guess that is fair enough as well.

[Tre Cool 1,342]

They do love cosying up to the rah rahs.  It's the only thing i dislike about the club.

[DEANO 1,062]

Hope if it’s a double header at York it’s a curtain raiser to the main event
