JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

You have probably not seen Johnathan Ford play if that is your judgment of him. He is a top quality player.

When he plays he is decidedly average. His career to date shows fewer than 40 games in 8 years......his most telling career stats can probably be seen by visiting the NHS website!

He's actually played 95 games over six seasons at TO13 plus friendlies.

I stand corrected.....he has played games at C1 level.

He is still average IMO.

On the topic of Toulouse, Featherstone Rovers were walloped by London today, yet they themselves put the French to the sword......are they going to AGAIN be a team that doesn't travel?
Also, they have beaten the bottom 2 sides in the competition, so it's a tad early to be praising them just yet! Let's see how they go next weekend......

Will they drop Stanislaus Robin, or make him hooker?


Barthau ran the show and looked good alongside Robin so i've no idea what Houles will do when Ford returns. Ford won the game at Fev last year mainly because of his height and Barthau presents different angles to the game. Barthau took some heavy tackles as Sheffield targeted him on a few occasions, i'm not sure Ford would have escaped injury as Bathau did. He will be back for the Rochdale game so maybe Robin will move to hooker. Marion is currently injured and Bouzinac started saturday and looked good and Kriouache for once kept his discipline.
Sheffield were poor so TO13 fans shouldn't get carried away.
Other injuries to the relatively mall quad is Rapira, due to play in two weeks, Puech and Planas with a sholder problem picked up in training.
Pettybourne looked good and Sangare has beefed up and looks a very tidy player.

"Call Me God" lives in Wellington, NZ. He may not ever have seen Johnathan Ford play. He is a blasphemer who often makes things up for the occasion.

He had a few SL offers pre-season as well as some Championship enquiries so he must have something I suppose ?

The irony beggars belief, maybe you should have looked under which username you posted this.

I'd steer clear of claims about the location of posters if I were you Bazza.

Could Have
Would Have
Should Have........he's at a mid-table outfit in the 2nd tier who don't travel very well and not at a bottom half SL side, unless you are saying he spurned the likes of Wigan, Saints or Leeds?

I'm not saying anything except he had offers from SL teams.
Yeah, I've seen TO13 twice this season and they do look decidely mid-table material.
