    Wow with an attitude like that I wonder why you are even an argos fan...

    The game saturday will be a good one with a crowd similar to the bobblehead game. If ray is playing we should win.

    I have plans to bring friends to the game and I am not a geriatric as you insinuated in your post regarding the argos fans who do go to the game, I am 36, and I am a proud and loud argos fan. I also happen to like the wolfpack and find them quite entertaining, I will be recording both games.

    What a troll like post. It's obviously not about a game for you, because this wolfpack team hasn't had 1 competitive game at home all year. Semi pro players playing against recreational players from overseas. That would be similar to a Northern league team playing against the Argos.

    Wow. The owner has poured in 30M to this team. I can’t see how this can ever be a successful venture from a business standpoint.

    I think it might have worked if they were able to withstand big losses for many years, and gradually it got popular enough to move to BMO. But COVID has ruined any chance of that.

    Not without a huge corporate backer. I’m sure the owners are wealthy, but 10M in losses on average per year is a lot for any individual owner to lose.

    Just an update. Relying on GoFundMe donations.

    I personally have nothing against the team nor the idea of a Pro Rugby team in the city, but I find it funny how people considered this to be a threat to the Argos

    I know this forum isn't big on Rugby but is anyone else aware the new Toronto Arrows? I have no idea who they are or what Major League Rugby is
