[QUOTE="saulan, post: 796464, member: 60236"] I only think that it is a possibility in Europe anyway (maybe New Zealand, but I don't think they travel around the country much to watch their team play). In SA you maybe have the Lions and Bulls clashes getting both home and away fans attending because the cities are 20 to 30 minutes away. Apart from that, you won't be travelling. In North America, they already travel large distances for the NHL, NFL and NBA. I really don't think that the whole away fan thing really matters and shouldn't be a reason not to do something like this. However, this is league one rugby. I am sure the players would love the opportunity to play overseas, but the point raised about the cost of teams in league one covering the cost of getting their players across the ocean is an interesting one. Is it being covered by England's Rugby Union or Canada's or no subsidy at all? Would be interesting to know. [/QUOTE]
