Ansem Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) 1 hour ago, MtlMario said: Another reason Laval should get a team instead of Mtl. As I said before a team in Mtl will be seen as second rate compared to CF Montreal while a team in Laval will be seen as their own team. And with a population of 400,000 that's larger than some other CPL cities. Also there a lot of young families there that moved there from Mtl because of lower house prices. Why not leave Laval to both PLSQ clubs instead and give them a chance to grow their base and build something special like a derby and rivalry with Blainville? With PLSQ/D3 falling under CSB soon, we'd just be cannibalizing the market in my opinion. Edited February 21 by Ansem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtlMario Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I was a double (wife is a big sports fan) s/t holder from the Supra days until a few years ago with the Impact and I am convinced a CPL Mtl area team will not do well. And it being a Canadian league won't help too much (sadly). Hopefully there will be a couple of teams in this province and we'll see who was right. Btw I am a 5 minute drive to C. Robillard and a 10 min. drive to Jarry Park so those location would ideal for me if I thought a team in Mtl would succeed. Hopefully one day we'll discuss this in person over a couple of beers at a National team game. Anyways Laval or Mtl I'm in for 2 s/t. Can not wait.Cheers.

No I'm going to wait for a CPL team to show up (soon I hope). In the meantime I bought CPL tshirts of all the teams and will go to Ottawa to see a couple of games this year. Trying to support the league from afar so to speak. longlugan, Bbeto, Stanley and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cblake Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 This does not sound good, hope it can get sorted out, one of the partners involved in the early stages of working to bring a professional CPL expansion team to a proposed new soccer stadium to Prairieland Park in Saskatoon claims to have exclusive rights to the stadium and is suing another partner, who broke away from the original partnership and negotiated exclusive expansion rights to a CPL team, pending construction of a soccer-specific stadium at Prairieland Park.

Yeah, not a great look but ultimately I don't think it will affect the PL/LSSE stadium push (fingers crossed lol). It might leave them out of pocket if Belan is successful. It is mad to me that PL with decades of dealing with top line contracts would have signed something and broken an agreement. They deal with contracts every day and would be acutely aware of what would breach that or when they are free to move on. I presume there is some sort of legal grey area but I guess we will find out, or maybe they will simply settle out of court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
