MtlMario Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Watched part of the pre-game show on TVA last night(MTL-VANC), they explained that this is a mini tournament of Canadian teams in the schedule and the winner would play in the Canadian championship. No mention at all of who they would play against.(CPL). Pitiful just pitiful. BuzzAndSting and narduch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I'm not sure where I saw this info, but I saw a theory that the PEI government money was essentially paying Mediapro to distribute these games for free to other countries as a tourism draw. Doesn't seem that far-fetched. CanadaFan123 and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Fox Sports 2 is pretty desperate for content too. I will admit the advertising is working.

"We should go there." Cheeta; "And do what?" wee elf: "It looks beautiful." Cheeta; "So is Minnedosa and it won't cost $1,500 to fly there." wee elf; "You can't see the ocean in Minnedosa. One-nil P.E.I." Cheeta; "Minnedosa also doesn't have sea food. One-one."

Bison44 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Pei doesnt have a Bison park...Pei doesnt have a ski hill (I'm guessing) plus best of all Minnedosa doesnt have Anne of green gables.

Cheeta Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hmmm. For some reason I have it in my head "Anne and the Green Gabes" was a Winnipeg drag queen troup from a few years ago. Can't remember exactly. Anyway, it's a fool's errand comparing the pros of cons of down hill skiing in Manitoba as compared to P.E.I. Don't. Just...just don't.

MtlMario Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Don' t know why some journalists like Filosa who had said that a CPL team in Mtl area would not work and now had a chance to express his views to the commish about that but pretended all was honkey dore.

Impactsupporter Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Wow, that seems somewhat hypocritical for Filosa to pretend that a CPL Montreal team could work when he has been against it all along. The trouble in Montreal is that it has never supported second teams. ie below the Canadiens and Impact. Look at junior hockey, when the Montreal Rocket moved to PEI and the Montreal Junior folded, and Laval Titan moved to Acadie Bathurst. Even in soccer, FC Montreal only averaged 200 - 300 spectators. It would seem that Quebec City would work better for the CPL and if they wanted to get a stadium why not use Patro Charlesbourg??

That's why I've said all along that a CPL team should be in Laval where I'm sure it would work ( and I am a 5 min. drive from C. Robillard stadium).

Their first just says “coming soon” and the other 2 are retweeting NISA related tweets. I would be surprised if they got sanctioning for NISA, but I guess that is likely their aim.

dyslexic nam Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I find it hard to believe that anyone with aspirations of running a pro team in Canada would be looking at the US 3rd tier right now. Aside from sanctioning issues (see Ottawa Fury) and the general lack of awareness of the NISL (I had to google it), we have CPL and discussions for a (regional?) D2 structure underneath it. In that context, an attempt to get approval to join NISL would be... odd. Ruffian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
