One of the biggest problems would be the semi final and final of the challenge cup, if teams still in that comp have to travel to Toronto in between those two games its going to mess up pre and post preparations and be a big disadvantage.

This could be one of, if not the, main factors in deciding who gains promotion and it may count in Toronto's favour or, heavily against them.
It seems a crazy system when the travel itself could be the issue that decides who gains promotion to or is relegated from SL, especially for Tronoto, who will be clocking up air miles for fun.
Getting the preparation right for any "final" is critical and where the MPG is played together with where the teams involved have played in the previous week could be THE defining factor in deciding which club is promoted.

This cant be true as away fans are no longer deemed important, hence the clamour to include TWP in SL

It's true, they aren't. Any sport or club who relies on away support in their business model is doing it very wrong.

Another thing, Halifax fiddling their numbers? Offical crowd, 1774 yet the video feed showed about 3000....I'm sure IR will be keeping an eye out..

100% spot on. Argyle wanted to play with our ball and as such, our rules.
£300,000? so flipping what......he's minted isn't he?

What about other wealthy owners like Hughes and Koukash?? <SEE OTHER SPLIT THREAD> Marwan Koukash was 'known' to be a multi-billionaire yet failed to lift Salford to a regular top 8 outfit. Koukah also has a string of failed businesses too.
Argyle on the other is a successful 'real' billionaire, so I'm sure Toronto are in safe hands.

Pathetic response, it would have been wiser to type 'nothing'. But not you, you can't 'keep it shut' can you ?

You post a numbered list of whinges culled from "someone who knows Paul Anderson", a Leigh coach who is known to be rabidly anti-Toronto.

I post a somewhat light-hearted rebuttal, given that most of the away players that I've seen on sm and met in the beer garden all seem to be enjoying themselves.

You then recommend that I shut it because ... you aren't prepared to consider that Paul Anderson's mate might just confirming your own preset prejudices?

Safe hands yet they cant pay a 10k agreed transfer fee?

I think it's more to do with anomalies at Wakey.

Btw, I think that you may have done the away fans calculation to death, it's like having the wife going on and on about something you already know.

So your wife is always right too

You counted them all then? In any event, clubs can announce whatever figure they like for attendances as the only figure that actually matters is the one clocked by the turnstiles and reported to HMRC.
