Not much discussion on here about Toronto, but they could possibly get to SL in a few years. Perhaps we are all thinking that they will be a flash in the pan, but I saw on the BBC website that they have already managed to get 5,000 ST holders for 2017;

Together with fairly impressive recruitment for lowly League 1 standards, you would have to bet that they can easily make the Championship by the end of next season and join newcomers Toulouse.
Not sure how all the travelling is going to go down however, that could well be a real problem for supporters, but it certainly looks bright for the expansion of SL atm. |

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.

It's 5k ppl interested in season tickets not tickets sold.
But Toronto has a 3m population so they should have some big crowds!!

Listen to the article on the BBC again carefully; " with 5,000 season tickets already sold" is at the end of the clip. |

Can't understand this at all. Why would it work? Makes the cats trip seem like a breeze. Can't see it making sense business wise.

Cost wise it would be similar to a cats trip
I'm at a loss as why people are opposed to it or not really seeing any benefits to it!
If Toronto become a success other teams from Canada USA may follow this will massively widen the pool of players all clubs have the opportunity to sign.

LOL. No the Native Americans kept themselves south of a none existing border created between two countries that had yet to be formed.  |

Thought it was round Lake George in USA? Either way one of my favourite films and the score was excellent. |

Whoooops you are right I got the wrong Movie,But LOTM was a fantastic film must have seen it 3 or 4 times.
It was Rambo First Blood that was in Canada 
... and no There were no Rampaging Injuns in Rambo
Still it would make a great change to go over ... Injuns or not. |
