    Preki coaching Leicester City the year they won the premier league is the timeline I would most want to visit.

    League or Union? I would think they'd want to start a rugby union team so that they could join MLR. There isn't a corresponding league for rugby league unless they want to do what Toronto Wolfpack are doing and join the UK's Super League pyramid. If it is the latter, the Wolfpack have done fairly well with roughly 9k average attendance. Of course, the Wolfpack do that by playing the first half of the season in the UK, including staying in the UK during this time, then playing the last half of the season in Toronto, where they stay in the dorms at George Brown University during their summer break, while the away team stays in the dorms at York University and are flown over on Air Transat, which has a sponsorship deal with the Wolfpack.

    I believe that the union team is based at the Rocco Commisso Stadium at Columbia University in Manhattan.

    I think Toronto Wolfpack was a perfect storm. Convincing New Yorkers to go to Jersey for anything other than Ikea, NFL or EWR is always a challenge.

    English Rugby League has already approved teams in New York City and Ottawa.

    They play at MCU Park, which did host the Cosmos in their days of the Neo-NASL.

    I would never go to EWR or NFL. I try and avoid Ikea.
