The CSL is still on the online betting sites by the looks of things:

London City tie their game 1-1 with Niagara United. Played at TD Waterhouse rather than the Hellenic Centre for reasons I am not sure of:

The strange press releases continue:

The CSL sought clarification from the arbitrator following the CSA’s announcement of an early...

London City's first game was cancelled by the ref who felt that the indoor facility that was being used was unsafe:

Hard to believe that anybody on here wouldn't grasp that "Beyond the obvious reasons why this wasn't a good move on his part..." referred to bad **** in WW2 amongst other things.

Beyond the obvious reasons why this wasn't a good move on his part, is the teaching of history so bad nowadays that he wouldn't realize that Hitler was really an Austrian?

Think that's an understatement given the only reason they still have sanctioning for 2013 is that the arbitrator ruled they had been given unreasonably short notice and put the implementation date...

Any idea what the rationale was for the 1 pm kickoffs? That's not likely to be popular with either the players or spectators.

I don't think the Astros have an OSL team:

I'm not from Toronto so not an expert on this stuff by any stretch of the imagination but I think the...

The Astros definitely appear to be an ethnic Hungarian team now:

Hajrá Magyarok, Hajrá Toronto Vasas FC!

Maybe time to start a thread to cover the upcoming 2013 CSL season. The London Free Press had a lengthy article covering London City's recent press conference:

They are back up to 12 again, based on the 2013 website standings. The Windsor Stars now appear to be back on board:

Toronto SC now appear to be gone from the table on the CSL website, leaving 11 teams, and the North York Astros are now listed as Astros Vasas with no Astros B team (so looks like the Astros are...

Can remember the CPSL being mentioned in World Soccer (I was living in the UK at the time), so that might be worth a look as a source of info. Will also purchase the book once it's available.

The provincial associations can sanction D3 semi-pro leagues (the CSL was an OSL sanctioned league from its launch in 1998 up to 2009, and a new provincial D3 league recently started in Quebec), but...

Think the most interesting omission in the decision is this:

It was never made clear to the panel as to what went...

Not good for either side. Questions need to be asked about the CSA's constitution now and ultimately limits do need to be placed on what the BoD can do suddenly on a whim. For the CSL though how do...

Agree but if the CSA had won I'd expect it to be splashed all over CSN by now.

Suprising it hasn't leaked out yet either way. An interesting wrinkle to the whole thing might be whether the CSL can win the argument but still effectively lose, so that both sides wind up unhappy...

There are Scottish forums where posting a link to a webstream results in an instant ban, which suggests the copyright holders are actively clamping down on this stuff now in a way they never used to.

Still no sign of the decision. Maybe the timeline was within 12 working days rather than 12 days of the hearing?

Before specific names start being mentioned like that, shouldn't you be 100% sure you have got it right? Your anecdote would convey your point just as effectively in their absence.

Canadian Soccer News has pointed out that there is nothing on SC Toronto's website about a CSL team now:

Something psychotropic by the looks of things. Latest is they are having a friendly game against Waterloo SC next weekend:

Facebook appears to be worth a look at the moment to find out what is happening. London City have been active in the last few days, with stuff like this from April 8th:
