The vast majority of the toronto squad have been able to live at home with their mothers in the north of England, playing their away games in far flung reaches of Yorkshire. Only their away games v Toulouse and London would have involved more than an hours travel for most of them, meaning that they will have prepared and conditioned for the timezone and weather conditions.
The 10 visiting sides to Toronto, after the cost of toulouse being flown their prevented them actually making the trip, will have all rocked up into a different time zone and different weather conditions, many taking a couple of days off work to do so, to play a Toronto side, again decamped in a time zone and accustomed to the weather.
European sports leagues are a funny thing......we generally have a at home followed by a week away.....but this year, even though the school playing field was considered good enough last month, Toronto have been given another leg up on their quest to buy SL status by not being made to play in Canada one week and england the next...... Whilst Championship chairmen may have rolled over, good luck next year trying to get the fixture list skewed.....that is unless you come armed with a juicy fat TV contract
As for the play-offs. It should be home and away, week in week out......if the Mancunian Canucks don't like it, then why not simply take your ball Hamilton, Boston, NYC and Florida next year....but please do remember to pay all of the suppliers who are owed money first
Observational Notes #2 Entry:
Patient seem to be totally obsessed with something called the Toronto Wolfpack....seems to know where the players were born and is spying on their mothers of all things...very real possibility of a Freudian mother complex here...will need to reread "The White Hotel" for more insight.
At times appears delusional and thinks there is a timezone shift within Yorkshire itself....has convinced himself that Toronto is somehow in Europe....its all part of some conspiracy by a Chairman although he has not yet mentioned Mao by name yet....still expecting a free handout though on everything and keeps asking me for money at the end of the appointment.
Am very concerned in that situation for him could be going downhill....don't even want to think of the permutations if his team, some small farming village called Leigh in the middle of the countryside where maids are a milking and the Jolly Green Giant comes from, don't make the middle 8's....fear he might blow his lid and start calling himself the Messiah.
