Rheo Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Nice to see some new links on the official CPL website. Link the Beirne interview on Coshcast and Halifax granting the stadium bid. Love how they backdated them though since they weren't there Friday when I last checked lol. ironcub14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Given the state of things, I am curious who is buying that ad time. Curious if it would it be the CSA, the people backing Beirne, or some of the confirmed ownership groups (if that is different from Beirne's backers). johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Also worth noting the CPL official Twitter feed was verified last night. Interesting timing with the ad boards last night... Or I could totally be overthinking it lol Edited June 28, 2017 by Rheo johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 CPL was sanctioned at the CSA AGM, so I don't think that verification means much as there is no question that they exist as a corporate entity. The next significant announcement would be if/when they have six teams actually ready to kick a ball in anger with suitable stadiums all sorted out so they can launch. 2019 or later looks more likely than 2018 at the moment, but they do have enough interested parties to get there eventually by the sounds of things. The stadium part is the trickiest angle a lot of the time and it's not clear what K/W, Saskatchewan and Fraser Valley would do on that as they are clearly not as far along as Halifax. The CSA runs the Canadian Championship, so the ads were probably basically a freebie to fill up space and time due to limited sales to corporate buyers, unfortunately, as ratings for Voyageurs Cup games tend to be less than stellar.

Macksam Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well actually, regarding KW, Saskatchewan and Fraser Valley, we've heard a few times now that discussions regarding venues are actually happening but they just haven't been as public as Halifax.

Neither Regina nor Saskatoon has had anything after city Council on a potential stadium. So in that sense Halifax is ahead.
