Keegan Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Would be unreal to have it here. get some buddies set up base in TO or wherever our group is, 3 Canada matches in a week. Dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPjr Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I can almost guarantee that the GC will not be held entirely in Canada. There are still rumblings that a group might be based out of Toronto but even that is still very much up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 A group in Toronto would be superb and honestly, should be very seriously considered by CSA and MLSE. Or split between TO and MTL one group. Could divide the matches fairly, but keep Canada in Toronto for 2 out of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A group with Canada - Jamaica - ??? ??? Would sell out every game but MAYBE one. The one being between the two ??? but even then that would probably sell out as the ?? marks would probably be Costa Rica and some team like Haiti, Cuba or El Salvador Huge revenue, great for the tourney because YOU KNOW that the US and Mexican groups will draw big in the states no matter what.

Cheeta Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 ^ What Keegan wrote. It does seem like a no-brainer doesn't it? Canada is a poor draw anywhere but Canada. End of story. So let Canada play in Canada and let them play where they'll make the most money. No one could ever accuse the Gold Cup organizers of putting fair play before the almighty dollar. Shame is the silver lining I'd found in the WCQ disaster was that I'd be thousands of dollars richer in '09 by not going to the MNT home dates for The Hex. But if Toronto/Montreal hosts Canada's group that will be three matches in a week! What would in effect be three home matches in a week. And as I've already banked holiday time in anticipation of The Hex.. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd for sure be there if the group is in Toronto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
