EDIT: To clarify I’d leave Webster out due to 4G pitch. Storton as I believe he’s getting through a ton of work for a young lad. Pickersgill in as it’s a game where I think we can just play with no pressure. Big pack to combat Torontos as best we can. Doyle because he’s earned it. Could be a place for Hallas just unsure as to where.

Doyle wasn't in the early plans for this game so I have to ask , how long does a visa take to come through? That's assuming a visa is necessary, of course, but a week seems a bit quick for any government department.

Canada make you get a bit of a visa (electronic travel authorisation) to land into any of their airports. You can apply online and the results usually come back within a few minutes. Not sure if they would need anything other than that.

Yeah the ETA is an easy process but not sure if the players would need a working visa rather than just the tourist ETA. I assume that its not just the ETA going by reports from other clubs problems over the last few years.

I can't remember the details, but something was done about that in the last year or so. I remember people commending the Canadian authorities on how they've made it so much smoother for visiting players. There were certainly issues in the early days, but I don't think there was nearly as much issue last season.

That said, I'd be surprised if Scott Moore wasn't "injured" the week Rochdale are due to play there.

Sounds like you could be on the Royal Flight. That is the one the players are on

Re: Toronto (A) : Thu May 02, 2019 8:37 am  

We'll lose this one but so will most other teams so it doesn't really matter that much in the long run.
Hoping for no injuries and not too much of a pasting!
