RS Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 quote:Originally posted by roue I picked up my 111 row A's midday on the 14th and now here on the 15th the adjacent seats are available , so I'm a little leery of the 27K claim . Regardless , I'm looking forward to this trip and hope to see a few Usector-RPB's making the trip too . LOL. My response was in jest as Daniel's post was clearly a piss take on Luis (Le Journal Débile? C'mon []). Apparently they've legitimately sold 10,000 tickets to the match, though (as stated elsewhere in the thread). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I unfortunately have to work during February. The whole month. And can't make it to the Big Owe, so I will have to watch it online. On the plus side, I have most of March on vacation, so will be available to travel for the semi-final first leg. Once we win the quarters!!! Hey, I bleed blue and white, just like everyone else...

Keano Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 My 12 year old brother in law brought a note from school home advertising 6 dollar tickets for all EMSB students. That should bring in a chunk of kids. He says a lot of kids know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 No, his wife's brother is 12 . I've always found it strange that brother/sister-in-law can work as two distinct concepts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trillium Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 quote:Originally posted by SteveBeau ?? I don't see how this could possibly help Ottawa.... Melnyk is goiing to the City Council to do a deal for a soccer specific stadium, he needs/wants infrastructure money from the feds, province and city .. to show 30k fans out in Febuary to game in Montreal shows the sport can draw fans .... its an indicator of the sports popularity. The CFL guys are trying to float a team with 110 million gift from the city in a shell game to do downtown property development, they are using the idea of CFL being big time.. whereas MLS can be argued to be a "better" league offering more up value then a CFL franchise can. Thats how it helps Ottawa... showing Canada has good response to soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an indicator of the sports popularity in Montreal not Ottawa, the demographics in the 2 cities are quite different...But anyways, thats just my own humble opinion.

MegasAlexandros1555362277 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm very sorry, but the Impact drawing 30,000 fans for their CCL QF doesn't mean anything for Ottawa... it's an indicator of popularity... in MONTREAL. The Montreal and Ottawa markets are very different, both in size and composition. You can't use what goes on here and extrapolate that it would be the same in Ottawa.

However, everybody went "look at what is happening in Toronto" not so long ago to validate the candidacy of both Montreal and Vancouver for MLS...

MegasAlexandros1555362277 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 That's true, a lot of people did say that... I'm not one of them. I think Montreal is a great soccer market, regardless of the success of TFC. The only issue is when Saputo will decide to tap the true soccer fans in this city, once he does, then he'll have a winner hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
