Apparently, they're (SL and Elstone) seeking assurances from the RFL that Toronto meet their minimum requirements, and what those requirements look like. Why the feck don't they know what the minimum standards are for their own competition??

Although, they have confirmed that Toronto won't be getting any sky money if they come up, and that they'll be looking to reduce the number of fixtures in the future, but not in 2020

Are these the minimum standards the all stadiums had to meet. I love how Leeds, Wigan, Warrington, Saints, Salford and Hull all have lovely stadiums yet Cas and Wakey are still allowed to play in theirs. All that screaming from SL a few years ago.

Looks like our game v Catalan Dragons at home is being move to Sunday 9th August 2020 as part of another double header with London Broncos v Toulouse. Comes as no surprise really when we play Toronto Wolfpack away on Sunday 2nd August.

Also, the game against Catalan Dragons at Toulouse is a double header with Toulouse v London Broncos.

GH's interview in the YEP about the reasons for the double header. Chucked in a few bits about wanting to give lower level clubs a shot at playing at a top level ground, how it is a reciprocal arrangements with Tolouse with us playing there and how they have listened to what the fans wants prior to the game.

The increased bar and food takings only got a slight mention though so I'm sure that's not a big part of the thinking...
