Stoppage Time Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Since, apparently, Canada will field a U20/U23 team in the not too distant future, who might be some CPL candidates for inclusion in the team? Lowell Wright? Coupland. Abzi, Farsi, Woobens Pacius? Who else? Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe of those names, only Wright and Coupland will be eligible as I thought I had remembered reading that the U20 was going to act as the U23 as well, but I must admit I am not entirely sure Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 On 10/7/2021 at 9:08 AM, Kent said: Yeah, this was always my concern with the team names. That, and me having to explain it, or feeling like I have to explain it if I don't know for sure the listener is well informed on the league. Instead of saying "Hamilton Forge" (if that had been their name) I have to say something like "The team from Hamilton, which is named Forge" or "Forge, which is the name for the team from Hamilton". A sentence kind of has to replace the team name in some cases. My go-to has been to tack the city name on the end. "Forge FC Hamilton" or "Valour FC Winnipeg" .

red card Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 After nearly 3 years, having your city in your club's name isn't a key to attendance/engagement. Worst supported is FC Edmonton. Second worst is York United who rebranded from a made up regional name. HFX is best supported - named after the city but in abbreviated form. The rest with usage of city names or not are all reasonably supported. Another disproven projection from CPL year 1 of this forum was that Cavalry was out of touch in charging high ticket prices. Instead, it seems investment in & execution of the match day experience, level of engagement by supporter groups and meeting expectations of success on the pitch are the keys. johnyb, Unnamed Trialist, ted and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's debatable. It's always the cheaper sections that sell out first and there have been reports of discount deals being used to help fill the expensive ones sometimes.

Bison44 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yeah its been a few months since Rollins has launched a turd into the bowl. Hmm lets see, staff are mad at xyz restrictions, low wages, too much power centralization and not enough listening to the clubs on things?? I'm trying to approach this fairly, but you know I need my click bait too. johnyb, Ansem, NVsoccer and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 WOW..if that happened the first story would be that CPL becomes the northern division of a new improved USL-C under USSF jurisdiction. narduch, CDNFootballer and longlugan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Meanwhile back on topic. Have to agree with this. Not having playoffs in year one was a bad move and an example of what can happen when the people making decisions become consumed with a CanPL vs MLS mindset and lose sight of what was actually proven to work in the North American sports environment in the absence of relegation: Edited October 30, 2021 by Ozzie_the_parrot johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianjc Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 maybe there could be some sort of "in season relegation" along these lines and ideas: The NBA Restart Should Push The League Towards In-Season Relegation, Not A Tournament (uproxx.com) Just a thought.

Ansem Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Who would have thought that it would take only 3 years to qualify to the Champions League??? Oh MLS clubs already fell to CPL clubs in the inaugural year! Let's f'n believe in ourselves and our boys.
