Not sure about the stand on the second pitch, can’t imagine that laying the second all weather pitch was cheap,unless they intend to look at something that can be erected and taken down pretty quick. Might have a wander down before Xmas see if there is anything happening

That will never happen. Never.

I remember London Scottish and Richmond RU fans thinking their clubs were sacrosanct......
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
