Reverend Ram Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I hope the lack of apparent interest on this and other recent topics is not a reflection of the tailing off of interest in the WP?! (Not that it has kept the hysterical types over the water from still venting their spleen on the whole project of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan Riversider Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I have wanted TWP to succeed since their inception. Sadly the narrow minded heartlands' mentality has offered little encouragement to what for me is a fantastic initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugger Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 IMO I think TWP are going to fold. I hate to say it but I wouldn't invest my money in the business given the way they have been treated. I don't see a way forward to profitability under the current conditions imposed by Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, and sincerely hope, you may be underestimating the resolve of David Argyle. and with the Aces (and mebbe NY) coming in i can't see a team in Toronto going by the wayside while they persevere.

We shall see, I do know he is a man that can make things happen but the present setup just doesn't seem conducive to running a professional sports franchise. I would like to see the day when I can get to Lamport again for a game, I hope it will be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way things are going, we'll probably have an Arrows fall exhibition season and half of next MLR season before TWP are playing here again.

Wouldn't be surprised either. It really is a shame and I was looking forward to seeing SBW in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with you, I’m not sure the club will ever be profitable but maybe it could one day get close to break even so that Mr Argyle isn’t on the hook for so much, however I really worry about the administrative capability of the front office staff, Bob Hunter aside there’s not one capable of running a business this complex, and I think Mr Argyle has been let down on two fronts, firstly the lack of support from the RFL/SL, secondly some serious admin screw ups by Mr Noble and Mr Vickers. If they survive all this then Mr Argyle deserves a medal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
