The thing with all this ownership and expansion group talk, is that there tends to be a lot of hot air from people claiming they want to own a club. We saw that with Saskatoon who basically talked and talked and talked and then bailed when they couldn't get a free stadium.
It's a great thing that the league is 1. making sure ownership groups are committed to the money required and making sure the right stadium is in place and 2. not saying what cities are involved as that just builds false hope. It's good that they are doing it right under Noonan when under Clanachan they failed.
So for me, I'll believe that there are new owners for York when it's official, and new expansion teams when they are kicking a ball. But it would be great to have both.
