Are teams actually out there for three full days or are you including flight time as well in which case they'll get an in flight meal no?
Plus they are getting breakfast FOC and so possibly having to pay for 2 lunches and 2 dinners MAX.
I suppose you know how much this is costing them individually, less of course any costs they might have incurred at any other away game or just being at home, possibly even eating out somewhere on any given day.
when you have the figures come back to support your argument that this aspect will prove that 'this' is not going to last ...

I agree, this is a none issue.

A professional or semi-pro club should have the nouse to get this sorted. The financial costs to clubs are minimal, other than time off work that coukd apply to players also.

1) Only posting what I read as I stated.

2) Barrow tweeted how excellent they were.....the players didn't.

Toronto don't seem to have got this quite right. Hopefully they are learning. The Oxford players were moved from one location to another after some apparently reported being unable to fit into the beds, shower etc. There were also issues with food I believe but I'm told that a Wolfpack official ordered in food and picked up the bill. The players were also unhappy with the location of the first place I believe. To be fair it seems Wolfpack recognised the issues and showed a willingness to learn. Mistakes have been made but it's hardly the first time a new club hasn't got everything right. They deserve the chance to sort it out.

I doubt Oxford paid for Whitehaven's meals Saturday night (they stayed over pre-match), Sunday morning or lunch so I don't particularly see an issue with Toronto not picking up all meal tabs. They certain aren't responsible for Canadian immigration rules. It's equally possible that a Toulouse / Catalans or Wolfpack player could hit problems with our immigration laws.

It's not Toronto's fault that the lower leagues of RL are barely semi-pro. They've been told to start from the bottom and that's what they are doing.

Hopefully at the end of next season they will be playing in the middle 8's (or whatever it's called) against the top Championship sides and some SL sides and this issue should be resolved and if the sides with more cash available want to pay for better hotels etc that's their call.

I can't understand the lack of enthusiasm from some RL fans with regards to Toronto. If it works it looks like the best thing to ever happen to the sport and with the potential of a SL featuring a Canadian side and potentially 2 French sides it must have a big impact on viewing figures, general interest in the sport and probably most importantly much needed extra revenue streams from TV advertising.

I can see why some think it s unfair that their salary cap is higher but if that wasn't allowed they would struggle to get off the ground. The salary cap is only there though because RL teams bankrupted themselves in the 80s/90s as they didn't have the money they wanted to spend. Toronto do have and their crowds are looking fairly consistent considering how one sides all the games have been so far.

Putting this in the context of League 1, some of the expenses may be an issue but, if/when they are in SL, it would be similar to some of the clubs visit's to Perpignan. I know that more and more SL clubs have started travelling in and out of France in the same day but, the general point still stands.

THere would be travel issues in shorter turn round fixtures and there would need to be a different plan for easter although, with Toronto likely to continue playing their games in blocks, maybe not too detrimental.
On the flip side, what are Toronto doing when they come over here.
I know that that was their choice but, I dont think that any of the English clubs will be covering any of their expenses.

Living at home?
