At todays exchange rates a return flight to Toronto from Manchester will cost from $610 that is £358
I would be there in a flash for a long weekend not much more expensive than Perpignan and a brilliant change of scenery.
The flight I looked at left Manchester at 9.15am and arrives at 4.15pm.

No dog in this fight, but that is .

24th biggest by population i think

I was going off Wikipedia, I checked again and the list is actually districts and includes all 32 London boroughs separately, so yeah a bit off, the point remains though.

Really hope that this venture can be a success, but.... and this has probably been mentioned, but I don't think RL's domestic structure could be less well suited for expansion teams... the middle/super 8s/playoffs are announced with very little notice, so you could have teams having to travel to Canada at a week/fortnight's notice... I think the possibility of teams not fulfilling fixtures may become an issue here... especially for nothing games at the end of the season. If your part-time club with nothing to play for decides it isn't worth the expense to travel over, it could make a mockery of the whole sport.

I suspect they would get kicked out of League 1 if they just decided not to fulfill the fixture like that. To put it another way, I suspect they will be more eager to accommodate Toronto than the majority of the League 1 clubs, given what each party is bringing to the table. Haven't Toronto said they will cover travel expenses anyway?
