Where are they going to play - fixtures start in Feb - not sure you will be able to play in Toronto before Easter. This would be completely unacceptable to all the other clubs

Who cares about block fixtures? Playing in Canada before April would be ridiculous.

Toronto full of average sl/championship players.

It would and as such it isn't a level playing field - they will need to find a resolution.

Toronto have been playing in our leagues for 3 years and playing in blocks has been fine. In Feb and March they are going to need to play away from home, as we did in 2018.

Did Celtic Crusaders regularly get 8000-9000 home fans in the Championship?

How isn’t it a level playing field? They still play the same number of home and away games.

Playing some teams 3 times and some teams 2 times isn’t a level playing field, playing a block of games home or away, as we did in 2018 makes no difference whatsoever

Regardless, it'll need a two thirds majority to be passed. And there are turkeys who won't be easily induced to vote for Christmas.

This is exactly what I think. Without the full conditions being shown and proven that it can sustain it within this week, I’m not sure the SL clubs will vote for it. Especially considering they are saying that they must fly the teams over business class, have them stay in four star hotels and all expenses paid by Toronto. They currently don’t do any of that, they fly teams over and put them up in hotels but not what is expected of SL clubs.

Today’s news of Thomas Cook probably won’t help the matter for fans getting trips to Toronto (although I’m not sure that’ll be taken into consideration by the board)
