Quote: Fourpointtry "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?
