Nine Stripes Podcast: Talking with PFCOntario

To own a team or just support it

No background. Just a soccer fan that lives in Barrie. Think a team would work wonders here and it has the capacity and growth to support it.

Sounds like just about like everything somebody has been saying on this forum for the past 3 weeks. Right on. BC Place or maybe a remote part of British Columbia would be a great place to play Voyageurs Cup in May. Hopefully MLS doesn't stand in the way

Some glimmer in the horizon - Bundesliga is looking for May return. This week, all the clubs in the top two divisions — 1. Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga — returned to the practice field. Plans were being put in place for games to return at all 36 stadiums by the beginning of May, with the remaining nine games of the schedule to be completed by the end of June.  So-called ghost games are to be played out in cavernous arenas devoid of the usual carnival-like match-day atmosphere. Soccer will be a TV-only entertainment, and is likely to remain so until the end of the year.  Germany’s testing regimen, by far the best in Europe, means that supplies needed for medical staff will not be diverted so soccer stars can get on the field. For the moment, we are all fighting to survive,” said Bundesliga chief Seifert, predicting that 50 percent of the second-division teams were “very much in danger to file for bankruptcy,” if the season were canceled, while as many as five top-division teams would face serious problems, too. “In the short term, I would say the transfer market this summer will not exist, it will collapse,” he said. “Some agents will suddenly understand that they will have to work hard, or at least work; some leagues will understand that money is nothing that is coming automatically every month from heaven.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/sports/germany-soccer-coronavirus.html?campaign_id=2&emc=edit_th_200409&instance_id=17426&nl=todaysheadlines&regi_id=77026768&segment_id=24411&user_id=2d668403a0aef4a8ff3c4a74a221176c  

Life really isn't the same without it.

Thanks for the videos @nolando. I miss soccer.

Probably not but maybe.. but I was making more of a reference about the prohibition in Qatar.. but I do know from people who have lived in Saudi that there are ways around it. As posted above

^ what is your background? You want to be owner of the team?

Of course no idea where he will be next year (and when or if next year will be) but if he is at Gent, it seems they will probably be in the Champions League qualifying rounds, with their current second place. "The Belgian Pro League have since said they have received assurances from Uefa that they would not force leagues to continue. And there have been reports that Uefa vice-president, Michele Uva, has said clubs could be admitted to European competition next term even if they abandon their current seasons. But that abandonment would have to be on the back of a government decree." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52152106
