home, guest (team)

The "Visiting Team" may be singular, yet the visiting team is nearly always always referred to as "the Visitors" (in plural) - and hardly ever never as "the Visitor".

You'd be surprised at how commonly away teams are referred to as "visitor" on scoreboards.

Good to hear from you, cougr.
I’m not sure about other codes, but with AFL, I’ve mainly come across “Visitors”- say 80% of the time (speaking from personal experience) - when the home side is referred to as “Home”.

I think when the board has “Home” - the correct complement to that (logically speaking - if you want a perfect pair) would/should be “Away” in all cases ... as in, Home Team and Away Team ( “visitor team” doesn’t sound right to me - but maybe that’s only the case in Australia, unless I’ve missed something??)... but, anyway, “Visitors” seems to appear most often (for the AFL Away team).
