What I think some of you should be pondering is why the list of probable teams at launch from the journalists in Hamilton and New Brunswick were so different and why the business plan would still be up for discussion. I'd say that Hamilton probably has to be more careful with their words as all the info there is coming from an actual ownership group or people hired by them. They would have relationships with the other potential owners who might not want their involvement leaked yet. The Moncton interview was with a guy that has no business relationship with any of the players so he may know less about the groups as far as whos actually in at launch and whos just kicking tires on an expansion franchise.

The angle I found interesting is that Ottawa and Edmonton rate a mention in the Hamilton scenario despite teams from there being in the NASL and USL, while Halifax are only said to be interested. That sounds more like a big budget challenge to MLS scenario that will wait until all the pieces fall neatly into place. The Moncton list had no Edmonton or Ottawa but did have Halifax fully on board along with Victoria, Saskatoon and London, which sounds more like a clearly second tier league catering to mainly Canadian players in a manner that the CSA would probably favour from a CMNT standpoint that would not have to wait until certain markets are on board to be able to pull the trigger. Anyone know what this tweet was referring to? My guess would be that it follows on from this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can't believe we're being forced to hyperanalyse emojis) It is that sort of thing that has made me ignore the various mouthpieces dropping hints and predicting announcements. I will get excited when something truly concrete is announced by the CSA. Until then, I am way past trying to interpret whether or not it is meaningful that he left the ? out of his tweet.

Complete Homer Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not sure if this was posted already, SEA had an (artistic) stadium rendering at their presentation. Looks nice, but hope they have a third side personally. They keep referring to Phoenix Rising's stadium as a template, so hopefully they take inspiration from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hopefully SEA also noticed who the opponent was and that playing an MLS reserve team didn't stop spectators from showing up or have a negative impact on the level of play. No reason why TFC II couldn't be playing in a pop-up in Halifax rather than Pheonix in other words given MLSE are on record as being open to the idea.

On the other side of the coin did you see the games MLS2 clubs played at home? Empty high school stadiums, only fans looked like possibly family and a few concession stand workers. Timbers 2 were the exception - they played at mostly empty Timbers main stadium. I don't think the CPL is looking for a league with clubs playing on empty high school fields. It does in my opinion severely take down the image of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
