tmcmurph Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 quote:Originally posted by gator Josh Simpson and Adrian Sieroux spent some time playing at The New Den for Millwall, how bad can it be? I've been there to see the ground, it was daytime in midweek so maybe that's not a good indication of what it can be like on matchdays! Adrian could kick ass on any collection of thugs you care to bring! I don't think I would bet against him. The bullies usually look for easier targets than someone who looks like he has potential to kill them, slowly and enjoy doing it! [}] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such nasty words. Very cruel and mean.

You should be grateful for their tireless efforts and many devoted hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort York Redcoat1555362293 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm not keen on nuetral sites myself. As for why we're not playing friendlies? It must be because the CSA feared to many would show up and ream them for their incompetence. I guess they don't want the $$$ it would give them. They like the same old $$$ excuses.

Alex M Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Tuscan ^ Is their Football Association, though? After talking with a member of the SSA (Saskatchewan Soccer Association, yes... it exists, we play too!) who used to work for the CSA, they are on such a tight budget that they generally can only afford the single friendly before large competitions like the Gold Cup. After asking him why they didn't bring Cyprus here, he didn't really have an answer. Any speculations as to why Cyprus aren't coming here to play? You know what helps increase budgets? Getting your product out there for all to see. Senior men's soccer is the most important level of soccer (obviously) and if you want sponsors and an increased budget, then you have to also increase awareness by actually playing games that matter. Even if it's a middle of the pack european team in June, just bring them in, get exposure and eventually big corporations are going to want to associate their name with national team soccer.

loyola Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm not so sure about additionnal revenues, they are pretty minimal for the game itself(one of this week friendly had 500 in the crowd, probably resulted in a loss of revenues for both teams) unless you have Brazil coming to your ground. Weather in England is not always good for some of those fields so that's why I think some clubs would pass this opportunity. But of course, it's worth trying because some grounds are in good shape and could take it. Anyways, if I would be working at the CSA right now, I would try to get invited to someone else ground to get a game instead of playing neutral. It's much cheaper.
