GuillermoDelQuarto Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Can I be the first to start the CanPL 2020 campaign? lol 2018 is a bit early still. Better to do it right than to do it prematurely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 2 minutes ago, Levi Oakey said: This is true. What is also true is that what people have been saying for the last year is correct. So believe me, more teams are coming. The Ottawa Fury and FC Edmonton are the key, if they want to do the big budget comparable to the NASL thing as they pretty much have to have those markets plus Calgary, if the three primary ones aren't happening due to the presence of the three MLS teams.

lazlo_80 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I expect news about teams and ownership and details to be a little drawn out. Gives them a chance to keep getting attention about this new league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I just hope at least one team from either Quebec, BC, or GTA is there on launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The Canadian Premier League has received expressions of interest from 10 cities from across the country to participate in an all-Canadian professional soccer league and will look to evaluate those candidates in the next few months.

Halifax for example is waiting on approval. They said they wouldn't launch without 6 and the way the csa is treating this, it's safish to say this is the launch for them.

Complete Homer Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 8 minutes ago, Rheo said: Appears BBTB theory of not all teams committed was correct if they're still evaluating I think Bierne's comments have made it pretty clear that there's a core of 6 groups, with at least 2 more solid bids. I more take that statement as there being a couple other bids on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheo Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Yeah I think it's due diligence with the other teams and that's good. Just saying that I assumed they were further along at times and they weren't and there's nothing wrong with that. Also nothing wrong with saying someone was right when you generally disagree. We all want the same thing here in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
