lazlo_80 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 this league loves a press release, i'm not sure they release both at the same time. my guess would be schedule first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense for things like kits, but also if you have the opening day decided, you get pics with players of each team in the first fixtures (with an uneven schedule one team would have to repeat to get all the openers in). I doubt they'd have already sorted out full scheduling details with some stadiums being shared. But for me it is still rather early. I am used to Spain where the schedules are not decided until maybe 6 weeks before the season starts, and they only decide exact times for matches as little as a month before they are played. Right now I see no game in March in Spain has a time and date set. Edited January 28, 2019 by Unnamed Trialist ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually,, comparing how scheduling is done between leagues in a thread 354 pages long is not the sort of thing most Voyageurs are asking to be saved from. Let me explain, since you did not get it: in Spain, and other major leagues, they don't put out schedules that early, which suggests that there is no essential reason to have to do so in the new CPL for any particular reason. The argument that you need a schedule for people to commit to buying tickets could be, as a possible logical consequence, falacious. Just block me if such things are too much for you to get your head around. 95% of posters on the board actually understand the logic of those arguing a point here on the basis of a comparison. Edit: (don't read this @Bison44 it'll give you an aneurism): I just checked that the CFL schedule was released before Xmas, so that would give all teams the possibility to in fact be able to decide on preferable home dates.

Right now I see no game in March in Spain has a time and date set. This burned me when I was in Logrono and San Sebastien a couple years ago. Wanted to see a Osasuna or Real Sociedad match, but the week before the date changed for the Osasuna match and the time changed for the Sociedad match. Hopefully, we don't see fixture changes to the same degree. Edited January 29, 2019 by HfxCeltic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-g-williams Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I noticed someone on Twitter commenting about Volkswagen possibly being announced as the league sponsor, and then this just popped up from the head of the Barton Street Battalion. Maybe it's not a broadcasting announcement after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Could it be that the league is announcing the new name to be the Volkswagen CPL? Honestly I wouldn’t mind a title sponsor at all if it puts more $ in the league. deschamp86 and Red and White 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Hyundai A-League is good enough for the Aussies, then the Volkswagen Canadian Premier League is good enough for me. I'd still be a bit disappointed at not knowing the broadcasting rights/schedule arrangement, but this would still be pretty big news and a win for the league.

Dominic94 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 How stupid does Ottawa look right now ? I mean if it’s a TV deal or title sponsorship, even if each club only sees 1M per year that would go a long way in helping break even but it would garuntee the stability league for the time being. Do any teams have kit sponsors ? Bbeto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
