devioustrevor Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Does anybody know when the schedule for this year's event is to be released. I'd like to know to make arrangements to travel to Montreal for the TFC-Impact game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosawa1555362267 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Was'nt it announced in march last year? Anyway is the MLS schedule public yet? The NSL one should be avalaible monday if what we've read in the local media is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yep they are probably waiting on the MLS and NASL skeds to be released first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFCRegina Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Will be making a trip to either Montreal or Toronto when the event is scheduled...long flight from Regina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juby Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 seeing the words voyageurs cup and regina next to each other gave me an idea, obviously not for this year, and depending on how competitive the teams brass' mentality is maybe never, but I was thinking what if they played one of 6 V cup games in a city outside of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver? The only way it could work is if the game were choosen by lottery (3 names in, 2 names out, first team picked loses it's home game) but even though it's my idea I'll admit it's pretty doubtful any team would risk losing home advantage for a game. Still, if an important game could be wrested elsewhere once a year it would probably be good business from a development standpoint. edit: II thought a little more about and maybe not, there aren't alot of 10 -25K stadiums out here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Depends on whether grass could be layed down at Mosaic Stadium. What if each team received 1 home game, while at least one of their games would be in a neutral location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 There will be a press conference in Toronto with the three teams and the CSA sometime this week. Expect to hear about it the conference early in the week. I assume a schedule will be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want an outside city to host a friendly between 2 of the teams, fine go ahead, however when talking about cup games being hosted on neutral soil that is just silly. My bet is that with no team of its own in Regina, a game between Montreal and Toronto wouldn't draw more than maybe a couple thousand (MAX). Also, which of the 3 Canadian clubs would be willing to give up revenue generated by these games. Just a bad idea all around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, which of the 3 Canadian clubs would be willing to give up revenue generated by these games. Just a bad idea all around... I think that's a little much, sure it could be a little bad for the sacrificing team, but it would be good for soccer in Canada, meaningless friendlies are not going to encourage widespread national support. Also, I think your couple thousand is just way off, in a few areas like the New brunswick area, Halifax, St Johns, and probably Winnipeg and saskatchewan and that whole Kelowna, penticton, kamloops have almost nothing outside of minor hockey (or AHL) or in couple examples CFL teams (none of which are playing at the time). I honestly think that any event in these areas would sell great because it's not everyday these area's get to see a high level professional sports match. The key would not letting an event success confuse you into thinking you can put a 20 000 seat stadium and mls team their. I already said it'd be doubtful that any of the teams would accept, so pointing that out like I'm a moron is well...misleading. If you want to expand soccer anywhere your gonna have to sell it and show it off, basically why I'm going on is 'bad idea all around"? don't try and win arguements on dramatics, it's a good idea for almost everybody but the club that would get screwed in a draw (hopefully each team would once, over 3 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Too soon. Like the idea, think there is some potential if the scheme is handled right for it to be a big success but the Vs Cup is still in an infant as far as I'm concerned. I think some real growing in the wider market (that is to say, outside of Vancouver, Toronto & Montreal) will have to be done before neutral site matches have a fair chance of success.

Tuscan Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Looks like ET broadcasting times win the day with that schedule. Both games in Vancouver at 10 p.m., that's rough. On a weekday night, that's going to cut down on attendance I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soka Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'm guessing those are all listed in eastern time - games would be at 7pm in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 It all starts nice and early this year, which is awesome! Let the games begin! I've yet to see Montreal and Vancouver's league schedule, but damn TFC's May is packed. I'm not sure what value Preki places on this competition, but the supporters view it as equal to the league, and as such I want our best out there. the good thing is that June is very light, so perhaps a full-bore May is in the cards. Am I the only one who looks forward to the VCup schedule more than the league schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midweek for a five weeks in a row, that's a good move. Montreal plays for the 1st three weeks. No pressure, just have to come out of the gate firing on all cylinders. That's all.

hamiltonfan Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 roger sports net will cover the ncc this year, all games will be aired live in atleast one of thier four regions. somethings has to get step up with webcasting tho, living in the states untill summer time is going to kill the first half of the tourny for me if not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they determine that? And given that Vancouver got screwed by last years 'circumstance' it would be common sense to throw a dog a bone...by giving them a home game that might actually matter, not finishing with 2 road games.

No idea for year 1. As for finishing with 2 on the road, Montreal and Toronto did just that on their way to the 2008 and 2009 VCups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
