Quote ="little wayne69"Said this all along, it's not about Toronto they can be easily dealt with one way or the other, it's about the club what take they're place assuming they aren't allowed back in, what criteria do you use for fairly selecting a club to take take they're place, runner up in the money spinners(Fev) runner up in the Championship (Toulouse) we haven't even got to Widnes, Leigh, Bradford, London or York , might all be academic really as for those who have Sky with time on they're hands might have noticed more American sport on Sky with the lack of most of the Aussie games with just the odd games every week, when Wakey played shudds Sky showed an interview with basketball player, nice to know they are spending my money wisely, maybe this prospective Toronto buyer might have some influence with Comcast who in turn then might influence super league to reinstate Toronto, happy days.'"
I agree with the majority of this LW, apart from the last part.
Just because Comcast are American and want to push more American Sport our way will have little or zero effect on the success of Toronto.
It all boils down to what will generate the most advertising revenue.
Even in the UK, American Football is probably more popular overall than RL and in The States and Canada, there is literally no comparison.
A college game would attract higher viewing figures.
Also worth noting that the new owners may not wish to fund the current SL clubs travel and accommodation and will very likely want a slice of the Sky monies.
Having said that, if SL want to run a 12 club comp next season, there are very few sensible options and for this reason, I think that Toronto will be back.
