HfxCeltic Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 18 hours ago, Kent said: So has there been any talk of a rescheduling of the team announcement (seemingly likely Halifax) that got delayed last week? It was Halifax and I've heard there's a date in mind, but can't say for now (near future though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpg_29 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Scott Mitchell pretty much said in that Prime Time Sports interview that they are only really starting in the marketplace now, now that the CSB has been created. So basically any major sponsorship or TV deal doesn't exist yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say however, that they were already "softly" in the marketplace already and have had an incredible response, it's definitely a hot property and expect some announcements about partnerships in the next 6-10 weeks (I went back and re-listened to it because I had a different impression than you did from the interview so I thought I better check my source again ) toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they stated that a major important part of this new league is the CSB....and that entity was only created last week. I got the vibe of a lot corporate'y/business speak with little details. I know I heard him mention the Canadian Championship as a major property. I mean I guess it can be. But one thing that concerned me is how much he emphasized the 2026 WC as part of their short term (10 year plan). I mean that thing isn't in the bag yet.

As LAK says I would think it's just a case of making partnerships official now CSB is officially a thing. I can't believe they would have made it this far without more than just encouragement, ie basic deals in place and gentleman's agreements. Cue the optimists agreeing and the naysayers pointing out there is obviously no proof. Looking forward to what becomes clearer through announcements over the next 60-90 day window.

He's referring to the united bid for the World Cup in 2026 given Morocco has been picking up quite a bit of support. mpg_29, LAK and toontownman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) I’m sorry to interrupt the bickering... But Hamilton is advertising a Sales Manager position: http://hamiltonprosoccer.ca/employment-opportunities/ “The Hamilton Soccer Club is a founding member of the Canadian Premier League (CPL) and begins play for the Inaugural Season of the CPL in 2019” ”The Manager, Ticket Sales and Service will be responsible for achieving personal sales targets in memberships and ticket sales packages as well as the daily leadership and management of the sales team.” And they are also advertising an Account Executive position: The Account Executive, Ticket Sales & Service is responsible for generating new business ticket revenue (and season seat retention) with additional sales responsibilities to include, but are not limited to, premium hospitality, suites, group sales and flex pack sales.” In my opinion this is the biggest news we have had yet. All but officially confirming the leagues start date. They are preparing for a launch of ticket sales. Big News!

Yep. I was just teasing about the world cup being in the bag. Should have been more clear only the second paragraph was talking about the CPL.

I'm curious enough I'll probably sign up after work just to follow it lol I just like that it's a sign that they're moving closer to being out there. Sure the Instragram isn't new but they're pushing it now. Website seems to have a couple of new things (link for CSB under Partnerships and a jobs section link as well) and they've linked to the newer articles and interviews from the last week on CSB.
