dyslexic nam Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I doubt it matters much to a lot of the folks on here, but single tickets are now available. So if you are heading to another market or if you have friends and family visiting and you want to take them to a game, grab em! FWIW, when I bought Wanderers tickets for May 4th, it didn't look like there were many available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rintaran Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 4 hours ago, Ansem said: Fantastic for the pathway to CPL and a model to follow by other provinces Yes and no... I'd rather it was an independent L2O than an L1O Reserve. The restrictions require L1O Reserve squads to have an OPDL or L1O license. It also says that L1O Reserve squads will be mandatory for L1O teams. This will create some pretty nasty barriers to entry for places without either, like, say, Greater Sudbury. This move now means if someone with coin and ambition in Sudbury wanted to launch an L1O team (Dario Zulich), they now need to be prepared to launch 2-sides: L1O & L1O Reserve. That's probably a tall ask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) It was almost Toronto on being Inter. Don't think Inter Milan will win this one. There is also an Inter Bratislava, who have fallen by the wayside a bit, but used to be quite high profile, and there is a famous Internacional in Brazil, who have a big local derby with Gremio, so how can a Milan club claim exclusivity on this? That's something a few of the CanPL teams can justifiably claim in naming terms, but I guess CanPL is going through its Wiz and Burn phase at the moment.

Bison44 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm glad we didnt go with the entirely redundant generic FC names that the recent MLS expansion teams went for. And I still like the MLS names that survive, the Crew, FIre, Quakes, Dynamo, Whitecaps, TImbers, Sounders etc. The Inters, united and sportings over here could disappear and I wouldnt shed a tear, why fight for a name like that??

Rocket Robin Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I remember on here maybe 300 pages ago that people didn't like the CPL team names chosen neither. Ooh York 9 FC ? Aren't there eleven on a team? They have to have Toronto in their name etc. Every team choosing a name had it's detractors...now with two days to go those same people are lining up for kits!
