Toronto and Tolouse.

Remainers - Toulouse, Toronto, London
Brexiteers - Leigh, Fev, Halifax. Soon to be followed by Great Yarmouth, Boston & Thurrock RLFC.

Would that be Remainers to remain in Championship,and the Brexiteers to brexit the championship and enter SL?

Toronto are paying for every clubs away travel, despite receiving no central funding for a 2nd year. They have invested a lot of cash to get where they are and are possibly the richest club in the Northern Hemisphere.
How do you know nobody is paying? They regularly push tickets on twitter and sell them through their website, where do people get free tickets from? Has anyone visiting the Lamport Stadium on here managed to get free tickets?

I believe the so called unpaid bill you keep referring to is due to a dispute over merchandising, it’s unlikely to be for a large sum of money (although the Wolfpack have sold a lot of merchandise) but if the supplier didn’t deliver as promised it’s no wonder they haven’t been paid in full.

Who is this Barry fellow to whom you refer....?

Barry, you cannot really be French as most French born English speakers are generally better acquainted with English grammar than the majority of Albion's traditional inhabitants.

Btw: No problem voting with a singular identity!!

I think we all know Jean is not French. So he picks an ex french rugby union player as his user name. Just a 'wind up merchant'. Even a genuine fan of French RL would not constantly slag off M62 Championship clubs like IT does. IT was very quiet last week when Catalans/Toulouse both lost....no ammunition to 'wind anybody up' that's why. And IT knows it....

Nope...their shirt sponsor is a contra deal and a contra deal that has been reduced in cost to the supplier by 50% this year...try again

I can't see Toronto paying for away travel going on for too long, if they even do.

You must have been asleep last week. Catalans beat Leeds last week.

Toronto's sponsor provides flights.

Put your flat cap on the right way rpund and give your whippet a walk.

Here we go "the flat cap" being spouted again.

I would be delighted to see Leigh and Featherstone promoted. Two great names of rugby league.

They'd add a lot to the elite league and leave the self-loathing northerners frothing at the mouth. Win Win!

Well according to players who have actually been to Canada, (Barrow more than most)although the city is fantastic and a great place to visit the "Hostel" the players are being put up in is disgusting.

You wonder why opposition players wont go back.

Yes, they do at the moment.
Do you think that it is an endless deal, with no end time or, do you think that they may want to renegotiate it at some point ?

Toronto also provide accommodation but, its akin to a school dormitory, not exactly what a top sportsman would expect.
Further hidden costs of having North American clubs in SL.

I'd like the N. American adventure to work but, regardless of their own success, their inclusion is costing the rest of the sport serious money and although, in the lower leagues, they have boosted some attendances, this may not be the case in SL

But surely when it comes to renegotiating a deal with there sponsors, if they are in SL they will be in a stronger position - media exposure etc? Therefore, why would they get less than they are currently?

The most sensible post in the entire thread - my opinion

A good use of vowels in Scrabble. Otherwise I'm struggling.

How are they costing the rest of the sport serious money?

Air Transat provide the flights as part of the sponsorship deal, but I’ve never read that they do so for no cost whatsoever. If they did that would be a very good sponsorship deal for Toronto, with the number of flights they must have booked for both them and all away teams playing at the Lamport Stadium.

I suspect they provide flights a

Work it out yourself.
Even if they pay for flights and accommodation, there is still plenty of cost for visiting clubs.
Try visiting Toronto for 2/3 days, it's a fantastic city but, it certainly isnt cheap, especially compared to Fev or Leigh

Fish and chips cost just a couple of quid in Leigh?
