In the Northern Tribune interview with Rob Friend, he says that the announcement for the Langley-based team, including name, colours, logo, will likely be in early fall. So this would be something different IMO. https://northerntribune.ca/pacific-fc-rob-friend-interview/ narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just a reminder that what I have suggested is that CanPL adjusts its economic model over to regional bus travel similar to junior hockey so that the crowds it is currently attracting are sufficient to sustain it off into the long term future. Frankly nauseating that anyone on here would suggest that I want the league to fail but par for the course on here that people build absurd immature strawman arguments rather than addressing what you actually write.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Not going anywhere so maybe try to grow up and act like a tolerant emotionally mature adult who respects that other people can have differing opinions and perspectives? Think it will probably be a new league commissioner, hope it will be a new Edmonton owner, and have a sinking feeling it will be another conditional expansion announcement of questionable likelihood of ever actually happening.

cornerkick Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I hope this news is something related to new franchises as opposed to a new commissioner. While necessary it feels more like an admin detail for the offseason. Did anyone see that Herdman gave a shoutout to Pacific FC and their Concacaf league run?

Atlantic Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 One Soccer and the CPL need to work better on when and when not to tease and hype up announcements.
