But what has really struck me in Toronto is the complete absence of any publicity of a RL team. No advertising at the ground other than tiny shop opposite. No update on next home game etc.
In Toronto, the Blue Jay's baseball team dominate with other sports well advertised - ice hockey, basketball, American football and soccer. Nothing around for RL which is disappointing including local sports news.
I really hope the game grows there but from what I have seen I struggle to see how it will.
