You can believe that rubbish if you want to but its totally fabricated....false news.
In a couple of weeks I'm sure you can talk to some returning visiting Hull KR fans on their return from Toronto...they will certainly verify the attendance figure given at the game....or will you allow your blind prejudice to even override the testimony of your fellow Hull KR fans?????....the proof is in the pudding.
Just ask them when they return and they will verify what I have said is certainly true and correct...a gentleman would then apologize.

And the Toronto chairman would do well to pipe down about about bias towards SL clubs just because all 8 clubs have be treat equally in terms of fixtures. It's not our fault your club is based in another continent.

Over here we call it 'flexibility' and working with others in a 'positive' manner to achieve a mutually beneficial result to the benefit of all parties involved...the game needs to learn to be able to adapt....cutting to the chase, the future of Rugby League actually depends on this very concept and ability (which seems to be lacking for many, caught up in old grudges and not being able to see beyond the end of their nose).
Once again, Toronto will lead and show the way forward.

You do understand the word mutually don’t you? If you can’t hack it travelling every other week you may get be better starting your own league mate.

We do understand 'mutually' far more than any other club.. We travel more than any other team but that is part of our nature and setup so we don't mind, it is what it is. We have started our own league...haven't you figured that out yet?

If you don’t mind why are you moaning about not getting your own way with the distribution of home and away fixtures?

No one is moaning about anything...a little consideration would have been nice but that is the way it seems to be in Rugby League...always erecting self created obstacles to our progress...we will overcome them shortly to the surprise of all (as we have always done in the past).
Time to play...the schedule is what it is...no excuses on this end.

Flexibility and politeness etc is all well and good but equality, especially in sport, is paramount. Allowing Toronto to play all their games in a block is treating Toronto in an unequal manner. It is not only perceived to give them an advantage but also disrupts the ability to generate a stable fixture list for the rest. Your chairman recently used the fixture list to moan about keeping them out of SL. That's YOUR chairman, no one else's chairman, than moaned.

Also, your stadium might have been good so far, but considering Toronto are meant to be showing the rest of us the way (according to you), from what I've seen it looks like a pitch in a park somewhere with a couple of stands put up on either side. Hardly a gleaming example of a fantastic SL stadium. I suppose this may change if they get promoted.

We are new, just trying to work things out for the first time and asking for a wee bit of co operation is all...I guess thats asking too much.

Nothing wrong with the stadium...although it is dated and could use some enhancements (which has begun). its a work in progress....but its what goes on in the stadium field that really matters now isn't it?

To a certain extent but supporter comfort is essential if you want to attract more supporters.
