MtlMario Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The great majority of people aren't very impressed with the change. This would be the ideal time for a CPL team in MTL area (Laval). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) So you are saying it's a good time to make an Impact? Edited January 15, 2021 by toontownman MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if Forge, Valour and Atletico can play out of CFL stadiums (including Whitecaps) there's no reason for a CFL investor to not prioritize Percival Molson. It's on the mountain, the view is insane and located downtown - close to the business centre. Also, the league said that being downtown was key to Halifax success. Granted you may not have such location eveywhere, you can't miss such an opportunity when it presents itself. My advice is to not do what CF Montreal did and you're already halfway there SACREBLEU johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fil Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Trouble brewing for the team formerly known as the Impact. The locals are getting restless, brandishing pitchforks and torches. Perhaps a good time to welcome them in a warm embrace into CPL's arms?

Shway Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Would be interesting if an “Impact de MTL”came to be lol. I feel with pandemic, and this name farcical there’s a lot of expansion opportunities that should be beneficial alternatives in 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, it is not big enough for maybe 75% of the fans to even think about not renewing season tickets (leave Covid aside). Do they care about the other 25%? Of course they do. But that number, which I doubt is that high, has no alternative for pro soccer in the city. And it will go down each month, in 3 years there maybe a 5-10% loss maximum for a name change. But that does not account for the reverse process, those people who maybe have kids starting to play, or are at a career stage they can afford to pay for a season, and they are the potential new fans. Immigrants from soccer-crazed countries. So a re-branding could be the excuse for them to come on board. Same thing happens when clubs build a new stadium, it is often an incentive. I am sure a Montreal CPL team would dig into disaffection with Impact and its derivations, if presented right. Even if it were a shift of 1500 fans that would be insignificant for the MLS team but possibly definitive in terms of budget for a CPL team. Is York going in this direction? Would a Fraser Valley team do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how good a team is, there's always a certain level of turnover in a fanbase each year just do to lifestyle or financial considerations And you're right, the name/logo is a way to potentially encourage new fans to come out. Are there 1500 fans who are SO disaffected that they're willing to abandon the team they've supported for ages over a logo/name change? I don't see that. That's not to say there is/isn't a potential fan base for CPL in Montreal, just that this isn't the catylist to get that going. red card 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I noticed it was Bunbury's birthday yesterday--the least he could have done to celebrate was make an announcment (or a speech), don't you think?

Ansem Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I think another area that would work is Parc Jarry, northern Montréal. Lots of space, already have a tradition of hosting major sporting events like Tennis and used to host the Expos. Still enough land for a Halifax-like stadium. Both Parc and De Castelneau subway stations on the blue line and Jarry subway on the orange line carrying people from downtown and Laval. johnyb, narduch and HochelagaFC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard could be an option. also McGill stadium. Edited August 17, 2021 by SpecialK Cblake and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make far more sense than McGill. McGill is a great location but they have turf with football lines on it and do not see that changing anytime soon with both university ball and the CFL playing there.
