Man of Kent 6,106 Report post Posted January 28 5 minutes ago, Chamey said: Apparently Saracens wanted TWP to guarantee 5,000 sales in the form of a lump sum. TWP were unable/willing to do that. Interesting. Not much faith in the attractiveness of Sonny Bill playing at Saracens, then. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Martin Vickers would say is the move was necessary "due to circumstances beyond our control". It's not like Saracens are in a mess or anything.

Gerrumonside ref 2,027 Report post Posted January 28 (edited) Not sure what to think about this apart from well done Warrington for saving the fixture. Seems like Saracens ‘altered the deal’ a bit Darth Vader at Cloud City style and the Wolfpack had to say no. Is there any independent information?

TIWIT 1,344 Report post Posted January 28 Yep, all the Wolfpack's fault. Not as if they didn't try as long as they could to work out an agreement with that fine upstanding RU club Saracens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not as if they didn't try as long as they could to work out an agreement with that fine upstanding RU club Saracens. I don’t think anyone is suggesting it’s all the Wolfpack’s fault. But it does seem like they looked after their own interests when things turned sour with Saracens. Maybe there’s more to emerge about what type of arrangement can be made for the Skolars and NW Crusaders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THE RED ROOSTER 869 Report post Posted January 28 Some points - Warrington renting their ground to the Wolfpack will also have asked for a gurantee regarding revenue so turning this game into a virtual Saints home match means that Warrington do not miss out financially as I assume they will be paying for stewarding and other matchday activities and keeping the catering revenue as per a normal Warrington home game. - Money in the bank as opposed to an IOU Second point - Yet again London Skolars have been dudded by Toronto Funny how Toronto's defenders see nothing wrong in this. Final point - Glad that Broncos did not allow their game againist Featherstone to become the undercard for Toronto. Theres an old saying - don't ask for credit as a refusal often offends...

Chris22 1,176 Report post Posted January 28 It's hard to point fingers without knowing the full circumstances, but it is far from an ideal situation that a game has been moved over 200 miles at four weeks notice and zero tickets have been sold for that game yet. Credit to Toronto to appear to consider reimbursing fans, but this cannot be allowed to happen again, especially as many fans will have had their plans inconvenienced. A shame for London Skolars too that they have been denied the chance to play at a bigger venue. 3 Quote Twitter: @TrylineUK Latest Blog: Social Media Reacts | Storm v Roosters - LINK: https://thetryline.blogspot.com/2020/07/social-media-reacts-melbourne-storm-vs.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
